In my experience, children respond to playing around with their talking in this way with humor. They often laugh, maybe even from a sense of embarrassment. It does feel "funny" to play around with your speech. As therapy progresses, children become more willing to engage in activities that help make their speech easier. When we work on various ways to do that, we also might employ a rating scale (1-10) for how "natural" their speech sounds and feels.
