Gameplay with voice control?

What kind of gameplay do you think will be interesting for a teenager and at the same time will require voice interaction a la Siri?
Our friends have a teenager with Down syndrome. Enjoys computer games. What do they give? Driving skills, reaction, attentiveness are cool, but I think what other benefits can be brought. For example, to require the correct pronunciation to get certain features at some point in the game.
The fact is that the interests of the child correspond to the age: all sorts of rocket races and so on ... And the level of speech development is like that of a 2-year-old. Requires constant training. Pronunciation is highly dependent on motivation. Here is an example of a phrase that is easiest to get to pronounce correctly: “Lena, give me a cake, please!” Obviously, the virtual "cake" + pronunciation control = additional training, time passes with benefit.
There is a lot of software for speech correction (even Russian-speaking ), but all this is for kids 3-5 years old. A teenager will, of course, be uninterested.
PS The question is only about the gameplay, so that it motivates to say something, nothing more. The game will not replace classes with a speech therapist.

I advise you to buy an XBOX 360 with a Kinect controller (this is where everything is controlled not by a joystick, but by player movements). The controller supports voice control. I bought one for myself - a great thing (but I really don’t use voice control - there’s no need), I only need it for physical activity.
