Summary/Abstract: Many years the main challenge for parents and teachers was how to keep children motivated to education. To make it fun and interesting, to make them want to educate. With development of digital technologies, education in various fields became more interesting. We present the area of language and speech therapy in this paper. As a science, the speech therapy is at the intersection of medical, linguistic, educational and psychological sciences. For kids, it represents hard work and is not usually connected with fun. But nowadays, this process could also be entertaining due to digital games. This paper introduces a unique and innovative digital game that was created by Slovak students, to help children in speech therapy. The aim of the game is to make the exercise fun.
