Looking for a cheap, easy to use therapy material? How about paper bags? I love using paper bags for a variety of activities. Here are some simple ways I have incorporated paper bags into my therapy sessions. 1. Puppets My students love to use puppets to "eat" their articulation cards or other target cards. They also love to use them to tell stories. Making puppets from paper bags is a great, inexpensive way to engage your students in a variety of activities! You can easily make a puppet to match any book or story that you are using. Be creative- your kids will love it! I made these monster puppets with my son this week. They were so easy to make! We used a little paint, glue, and card stock with our paper bags. I found the idea for these cute monsters from this pin: Paper Bag Monster Puppets 2. Describe It To Me This activity is also super easy. I throw a bunch of items into a bag. My students reach in and grab something (no peeking!) to describe. The students remove the object and then describe it using a variety of descriptors. This is a great way to incorporate your Expanding Expression Tool (EET) with describing real objects. Sometimes I will even get really small, cheap objects that the students can keep if they give me a description using all of the beads on the EET. 3. What is in the bag? This is a great activity to work on a student's deductive reasoning skills. I put an object into the bag (students do not see- again, no peeking). Students need to ask questions about my object. This is similar to the game Headbanz. 4. Categories Place pictures of categories on the bag and collect items or pictures to place in each category. I used pictures from my Category Sorting activity. I like to put a piece of Velcro on each bag so that I can interchange the categories without having to get a new bag each time. 5. Collect in a bag Put any kind of card into the bag. My students love to decorate a bag and then collect their cards. 6. Paper bag books You can use two paper bags to make a book that will have two pockets. Simply fold two bags in half and then put the two openings touching each other to make two pockets for a book. Staple together, and done! You have a paper bag book that you can use to target a variety of goals. I used this one to put some of my new sequencing cards in for a student to take home. I have also made these Articulation Paper Bag Books. These are so fun to make with students and send home! Here is a link to a freebie that contains blank frames to use on your paper bags, as well as labels for What is in the bag? and Describe It To Me. Have fun using your paper bags!
Confession time...I'm a terrible singer. Like, turrible. But I don't let that stop me (Follow your dreams, people) from belting out my own little diddies and dance moves in my therapy sessions. Why? Mostly because it draws attention and makes my students laugh. But also, I know that movements and chants and rhymes can all help my students engage and learn. Like the kind of learning that sticks. Let's take a look at some research:

I remember as a new SLP, feeding therapy scared me. It felt way out of my wheelhouse because I (Allyssa) was much more used to speech and language therapy. However, with some shadowing of other SLPs, a few good trainings and CEUs, and infinite help from Janae (the other half of Red Rose Speechies),
It's no secret that we play a lot of games in speech therapy. Games offer great opportunities for using language and they make practicing skills that may be hard for students to do more fun. I have put together a list of my most played games in therapy. Sometimes we play them to increase overall language or social skills while other times we play to target a specific skill. I have also created some open-ended templates to use with the games to help us stay on track with practicing our goals while also playing. If you are interested in the game companions, I have linked them to the pictures. The games themselves offer a lot of unstructured language and pragmatic skill opportunities! Pop the Pig This is the #1 most requested game. It is great for taking turns and making requests. I usually don't use the dice but instead, have the student's request which color they want. Connect 4 This game is great when I only have two students in the group or if it's a one-on-one session. The concept of this game is a little harder for my younger students to understand so I usually play with 2nd grade and up. Kerplunk I like games that build suspense and this one definitely does that. Only downside to this game is that it tends to be over relatively quickly and the marbles can get away from us. Zingo This game is great for pre-K, kindergarten and 1st grade. My kids that work on language skills get lots of opportunities to match and name simple pictures of objects. It also has a good variety of simple words to work on articulation skills too. Candy Land Another pre-K, kindergarten and 1st-grade favorite game. I do get some who are discouraged when they have to move backward if they get a "specialty" card so sometimes I will just take those out of the deck to avoid it. This one also offers good opportunities for counting too. Spot It My 1st-5th graders love this one and I do too because it's quick and easy! It doesn't involve any set-up. We usually play and search for words that contain our articulation sound. Sometimes we'll play for fun at the end of a session to monitor carryover skills. Tumbling Monkeys Another game that my kids ask for a lot is Tumbling Monkeys. This one takes a little longer to set up but it takes a while to play so it can usually last the entire session. Don't Spill the Beans This game is great for little ones but it is another game that is over quickly so we usually play 3-4 times and then move on to something else during a session. Let's Go Fishing! The noise of this game can get a little unnerving but it is another good game for pre-K and kindergarten. This one doesn't require much turn-taking or requesting but you can work on counting and naming/identifying colors with this game. It's also super quick to set-up. It's also a great reinforcer game for the end of a session or if a student needs breaks throughout a session. Ants in the Pants This game is so fun because ants are usually just flying everywhere when we play. My kindergarten-2nd graders usually like to play this game but I've been surprised that my older kids will ask to play it too. Pop Up Pirate This game is definitely suspenseful and similar to Pop the Pig because you put in swords until the pirate pops up. The downside is that this one is usually over pretty quickly too so we will usually play several rounds during a session. Jenga This game is best for 3rd grade and up as my little ones usually just like knocking it over. My older kids really get that you DON'T want it to fall and play with more purpose. Uno I think my 4th and 5th graders would play Uno every session if I let them. They love this game and really understand the concept. The companion helps us to focus on speech goals while playing too. I always find it funny that even my oldest students (4th and 5th grade) still love to play many of these games and ask for them often! I hope this has given you some new ideas for games to play during therapy!

Is it hard to keep your students engaged while they practice? I have found that by using games and activities my students enjoy therapist directed drill play. It can be a lot of fun and the therapist can obtain 100 trials of the targeted sound or process. I have found that their are so many commercial games and activities available that easily lend themselves to therapist directed drill play. For all of these games and activities I like to select 3-5 pictures that will be targeted during the session. The number I select depends on how often the student needs to engage in play and stay motivated. Yeti In My Spaghetti : Every time my students practice their pictures I give them a piece of spaghetti to place over the bowl. When the game is assembled we play the game. Kerplunk: As my students practice they put a stick through the tube. When all the sticks are in we practice the pictures as we add the marbles to the tube. When it is all ready we have fun playing the game. Mr Potato Head: I set up a variety of parts that the student can select. We practice the pictures and them add a part to the potato. After a few potatoes are assembled we play with them. 100 Trial sheets: I like to use crayons, markers and stamps with 100 trials sheets. The child marks a picture after each production. This freebie includes six Spring 100 trials articulation sheets and 2 data collections sheet. The data collection sheets can be used with any of these activities. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THIS FREEBIE Progress monitor your entire group easily Legos: I like to have my students practice their pictures and then I give them 2-3 legos to put together. They build and practice at the same time. Ned's Head: I put multiple copies of the students pictures inside the head. I place a sticker on one of the cards. We take turns pulling a card out of Ned's Head. The student who finds the card with the sticker shouts "I win!" This game is quick and can be played multiple times. Cariboo: I cover the original cards with Holiday or a theme. After each child practices their targeted words they open one box. It they find the ball they get to put it in the treasure chest. We play until the treasure box opens. Chipper Chat: Practice the pictures and them put a chip on the card. When the card is full use the magic wand to clean up the card. Take time to play with the chips and magnets at the end. Jenga: The students practice their pictures and then place a Jenga block on the tower. When the tower is built we play the game. Fishing game: I like to have my students say their words and them put a fish in the "pond". When the game is complete we play it. I have also created a game companion that can also be used. The students practice again as they place them in the fishing net. Articulation Game Companion Connect Four: Each time a student puts a chip in the frame they say their pictures. We play until their is a winner. Using these games in therapist directed drill play is a fun and easy way to get your students to practice 100 articulation targets in a therapy session. If you are struggling to keep your students engaged think about trying some of these games. I hope your students enjoy them as much as my students do. Click here to follow my tpt store, Speech Gems.

The best way to help a child's speech and language development is through play. Here are 10 simple activities that you can do at home, including the key vocabulary to focus on, to help develop your child's speech and oral language. The key to these activities is about engaging with the child and using simple, useful language that matches the actions of play. This puts the language into context with what they are experiencing and gives them opportunities to hear, use and practice the language in a way that makes sense to them. Often the simple phrases are repeated over and over again in the same activity which is what you want. The words that you can focus on are listed for each activity under "Language" but you can still use them in correct sentence structure whilst focusing on the key words. For example, "Ball. You have a ball" and "Give ball. Give me the ball please." For more specific information about how to develop your child's speech through play and to hear our personal journey with oral language concerns, see here. Ball Play Materials little ball bowl basket spoon Language (to match the actions) throw ball get ball give ball please (simple instructions for them to follow) ball in basket ball out of basket ball on floor ball on spoon ball fell off spoon pick up ball Pasting Materials Glue stick with lid large sheet of paper scraps for gluing (paper/felt/feathers etc) Language (to match the actions) lid off glue glue on paper stick on paper lid on glue glue on hand sticky hand/ your hand is sticky sticky paper red/blue/green etc paper (saying colour names as they are used) put lid on "Child's name" give lid please (try simple instructions for them to follow) Trucks and Ramps Materials little truck ramp (use hard cover books for ramps) small toy animal that will fit in truck/trailer (eg. dog, cow) Language Go! brooooom! Ready, set, go Go truck! truck on ramp truck go down ramp truck at top truck at bottom "dog" in truck "dog" out of truck "dog" on ramp "dog" on floor put dog in truck (simple instructions for them to follow) Making a Snack Instead of preparing a snack for your child, provide materials for them to make their own snack and then use the language that naturally goes with the processes. Materials Little containers fruit (eg. banana, strawberries) plastic knife savoury cracker spread (eg. cream cheese, peanut butter) sultanas plate Language yummy eat food hungry snack time cut up banana peanut butter on cracker put in container more? you like? 3 sultanas. 1, 2, 3. strawberry on plate strawberry off plate in mouth Pom-pom Play Materials pom-poms basket box plate spoon/tongs Language pom-poms on floor pick up pom-poms (can use simple instructions for them to follow) pom-poms in basket pom-poms in box pom-poms on plate pom-poms off plate pom-pom on spoon "red" pom-pom 3 pom-poms. 1, 2, 3 more all gone tip pom-poms Ring-Ring Materials toy phone Language hello yes thanks ok press buttons ring-ring who's there? bye Mama, Daddy, Nanna, etc. Let's build Materials variety of different blocks (shapes, sizes, colours etc) Language build up block on top put on fall down big tower tall tower very tall put block on (following simple instructions) big block little block "red" block more Animal Tracks Walking plastic animals over clay/playdough to leave footprint impressions. Focus the language on the movements and animal sounds. Materials clay/playdough plastic animals Language (match the actions being used) roll clay squishy clay kangaroo jump/ jump jump jump marks in clay footprints in clay more? snake slither/ sssssss frog jump/ jump jump/ ribbit ribbit lion roar/ roaaaaar animals walk walk on clay I'm a Chef Pretend cooking play using playdough and various kitchen implements. You can roll some sausage shapes etc. to help encourage other actions that allow you for other language use. Materials playdough plastic pot w/ lid plastic frying pan plastic knife plastic plates Language cut "playdough" (or, "sausage/carrot" etc.) roll playdough in pot out of pot in pan out of pan lid on pot lid off on plate more? no more all gone yummy what are you making? Sandpit Play Sensory play is great for young children and for developing language. Children are able to match what they are seeing/hearing/smelling/touching or tasting with the words that go with the sensory experience. This makes the experience very tangible for them. Materials sand plastic bottle with lid spoon Language lid on bottle lid off bottle sand in bottle scoop sand pour sand give spoon tip sand empty bottle sand all gone sand on spoon Handy Tips: - Generally, just asking my child if they would like to play with me is enough to entice them to participate in some one-on-one time, however if they are hesitant (code for, my toddler wants to do what he wants to, not what I want him to) I will get out the materials and start playing with them myself. The more fun I'm having on my own, the more they usually want to join in. - If your child really isn't in the mood for your planned play, I wouldn't force it. Instead, try to find a way to engage with what they are interested in playing and try and use and encourage them to practice the language that naturally comes with that activity. - Read my tips on the best way to approach these one-on-one play times with your child. - It is very important to allow your child time to respond to any questions you ask and for them to attempt to use or mimic the language. Encourage and praise their attempts at oral language. - You will most likely find, during the course of your one-on-one play, that other language (other than what's listed above) naturally occurs due to the direction that your play takes. This is of course perfectly fine. Just try and keep the language short, clear, relevant and useful during this time. Repetition is important. - There are lots of great kids books that encourage speaking and making sounds. A favourite of ours is, "Mr Brown can Moo. Can you?" by Dr Seuss.

I was flipping through a recent edition of Mailbox Magazine and saw this adorable frog template. The magazine featured a different activity for the frog, but I thought it would make a great articulation craftivity! Here's what you need: Frog Template (HERE is a cute one from DLTK kids.com if you don't get Mailbox) Small articulation (or vocabulary) pictures Red construction paper, cut into strips Scissors Crayons Glue Paper clips (optional) To create the small articulation pictures, I used Lesson Pix. If you haven't used Lesson Pix yet, head on over and try it out (you can give it a test run before subscribing, but it's well worth the $36.00/year subscription fee!) Lesson Pix has a sound finder feature, which I used to get target words for my articulation groups. I created picture cards with the 35 pictures/page option: I colored the frog and lilypad and cut the frog's mouth out. Then I attached the strip of paper to the backside of the frog and glued the pictures on his tongue. You can roll up the frog's tongue and hold it together with a paper clip. This will give it a curly shape even after you remove the paper clip. Kids can practice their words as they unroll the frog's tongue. Other Ways to Use This Craft: Open Ended - You could get some bug stickers and have kids stick the stickers on the frog's tongue for each X number of desired responses (language or artic). Patterning - Use the frog's tongue as a pattern strip (e.g., fly, beetle, fly, beetle) Concepts - Start with a bug in the center of the frog's tongue. Have students glue more bugs "above" or "below" the first. Sequencing - Find small pictures (or use your photocopier to reduce) of steps of a sequence. Have students cut out and glue to the frog's tongue in the correct order. I found some frog life cycle sequencing pictures on Enchanted Learning and Making Learning Fun. What else would you have kids glue to the frog's tongue? I'd love to hear your ideas!
