Do your speech therapy students love putting cards into "feeding" activities? This fun summer speech therapy activity targets articulation while your students have fun! With 360+ articulation cards, you'll have all the articulation targets you need for a fun summer speech therapy session. To play this game, your students will have an opportunity to “make lemonade” by saying words that are printed onto lemons that can then be put into a “pitcher”. The pitchers may be placed on either a paper bag or empty box, and students place the articulation card "lemons" inside the pitcher after they say their word the required number of times. The articulation cards target a variety of sounds in all positions of words. There is also a fun coloring page that helps students get to 100 repetitions easily. This coloring page may be used with any set of articulation words. Here's what's included: Lemonade pitcher sheet 2 pages of "lemons" for each sound (10 initial words, 5 medial words, 5 final words) Sounds included: B, Ch, D, F, G, J, K, L, M, N, P, R, S, Sh, T, Th, V, Z 1 page of blank lemons to write in your own targets 1 coloring page for 100 trials This activity is easy to assemble. You can print and laminate all of the cards and the pitchers. You'll then glue the lemonade pitcher onto an empty box or bag and students will place the cards into the container. You can also print and use the articulation cards with any of your favorite games. If you print two of each set of lemons, you can also play a matching game or Go Fish with these cards. You'll love how simple this activity is and yet your speech therapy students will be engaged and have fun by making their own lemonade. As a cool reward (with parent permission) you can end the session with a glass of ice-cold lemonade!

It's no secret that I love toys and including play into my therapy sessions. If you haven't already downloaded my FREE Play-Based Speech Therapy Homework you can download it HERE! One toy that I use often but have never really included is a shape sorter. Sometimes this one may seem a little "babyish" but I am always surprised by my kiddos who want to play with it. This toy can be used to target many language goals and I thought I'd put together a little list of ten goals you can target with a shape sorter. I usually bring it out with my Pre-K-Kinder population or my younger students who have autism. Please know these are just general ideas, really the possibilities are endless and you may need to adjust to what your student needs. Here are some ideas of how to use a shape sorter to target language skills! First is obvious, naming or identifying colors. Now with this particular sorter, I am limited to five colors but usually, that is a good number to start with. You can give directions such as "Give me a purple block." or ask questions "What color is the triangle?" to target this goal. Next is requesting! This is a goal I work on often, many of my kiddos enjoy independent or parallel play and are used to grabbing what they want. But often I want to encourage cooperative play where they acknowledge a partner playing with them, not just next to them. I will hold the sorter bucket with the blocks and put the top in front of the student. Or I may hold all the blocks but give them the bucket with the top. Then prompt them to request what they want using as much detail as possible. My end goal would be for them to verbalize "I want a red square please!" or "Can I have the purple circle?" but we will work up to that with maybe just verbalizing or signing "more" or "please" at first. You may have to use some more structure when playing to target following directions by withholding some of the blocks. You could maybe give your student half the blocks and you keep half. Give them directions while handing one of your blocks such as "Put this block in the bucket" or "Stack this block on the star". Understanding quantities can be tricky for my younger kiddos. With the blocks, you can work on understanding "more", "some", "all" and "none". You can sort the blocks into two unequal groups and ask which group has more. You can instruct the student to put all the blocks in the bucket. You can ask the student to give you "some" blocks. You can show them an empty bucket and ask how many are inside. This one can go hand-in-hand with following directions. Prompt the student to give you a block with negation. For example "Find a block that is NOT red" or "Give me a block that is NOT round". You can use the top of sorter to match or you can put a set of blocks in a row and encourage your student to match them up with another set of blocks as shown in the picture. Positional Words, Spatial Concepts, or prepositions...whatever you call them they are all essentially the same and you can use the sorter to target them! The easiest positional words to target with the sorter are "in", "out", "on", "off", "under" and "over". You can either have the student follow your direction "Put the square on the triangle" or answer a question "Where is the orange block?" while holding it over or under another object/block. Take turns putting the blocks in, taking them out, requesting, lining them up, naming them, counting them...any of the skills you are working with! Count the blocks, it may be easiest to put them all in a straight line to help work on one-to-one correspondence when counting. For older students (end of kinder, 1st grade), you can use the blocks to count by 5's or 10's. And last but not least you can work on naming or identifying the shapes. Ask the student "What shape is this?" while pointing to the block. Request a block by naming the shape such as "Can I have a star?". If your student is good with naming/identifying the basic shapes work on the attributes instead. For example "What shape has three points?" or "Give me a shape that has four sides". That's it! One little toy and so many possibilities!

I have found some great teletherapy resources in the last few months but I am still missing all the games from my speech room. Now that I have figured out how to use my Osmo as a document camera I thought this would open up the possibilities of using some of my games during teletherapy! I went through my games and came up with six games/activities that I can play while screen sharing. I have tweaked some of the instructions just a little to make it work and some I changed up the rules to help be more specific in targeting goals. Here's a collection of six games to screen share during teletherapy! Rory's Story Cubes These little cubes are great for so many language and articulation goals! You can target naming/identifying pictures, using verbs, self-monitoring articulation skills, producing grammatically correct sentences, generating a narrative, and telling a story using sequencing skills just to name a few. While I was sharing about these cubes Hanna from My Literacy Space commented letting me know there is an awesome app too! I think the app is probably a better option to share during therapy as the dice are bigger. When I share the app I don't need to use the Osmo, but I just didn't take it apart. I followed the same steps as I would if I were screen sharing the Osmo (just opened the app I wanted instead of the Osmo document camera app). Kids on Stage This game can target understanding categories (animals, objects, and actions), following directions, and making inferences. First, spin the spinner, and then choose a matching card to act out. The other players in the game aren't supposed to see the card so I usually just have them turn around, or cover/close their eyes. First player to guess correctly gets a point and first player to 5 points wins! HedBanz Junior This one is played a little differently over teletherapy. We don't wear the headbands instead, we take turns flipping over a card and the other players in the group have to ask questions to figure out what the card may be. I like the junior version for my younger kids because all the cards are animals. With this game, we can target naming animals, following directions, taking turns, asking/answering questions, using articulation skills in conversation, and making inferences. Pickles to Penguins This fun card game is the best for practicing comparing and/or contrasting which is what it's all about! You flip over two cards and someone has to tell what the two objects have in common. I usually challenge my kids to see who can find the most similar characteristics (or differences depending on what we're targeting) between the two objects. Pictionary My drawing skills are not the best but this game is always a fun one! Pictionary is so easy to change depending on what you are targeting. I rarely use the cards that come with the actual game. Instead, if we're working on articulation skills I flash cards that contain the targeted sound (you also need to tell the other players to turn around during this part too). If we're working on verbs I use pictures of verbs and so on. We keep score by who can shout out the name of the picture fastest. When playing with kids over the computer we just use a marker and notebook paper but I do like that the game now comes with a dry erase board and marker! Spot It Spot It is one of my favorite games to play when we have a few minutes left in a session. Over teletherapy, I put down one card face up and then a pile of cards face down. I flip one card from the pile over at a time. I usually only change one of the cards each round. The person who can shout out the match first gets a point. First player to 5 points wins! I hope that gave you some ideas of how to can use games you already have during teletherapy. If you are unable to use the Osmo as a document camera or don't have a document camera/Osmo you could easily adapt most of these games by just showing the cards using the built-in web camera. Just be sure to tell any other players in the group not to peek when flashing the cards or dice.

Do you ever have days where you know exactly what you need to target, but are just looking for a different way to do it? I know I have had many days like that, especially when working on articulation. My first year in the schools, I know that I was so frustrated with the monotony (to me at the time) of working on articulation, that I wasn't sure I even wanted to do the job anymore! With my crazy caseload now, I have gotten over the feeling that articulation work is monotonous, and now embrace the time I have with my students working on articulation. We can have so much fun together! So, you may ask, how did I get over the feeling of monotony? Well, I made a deal with myself that I would try to change things up. I would take items that I already had and use them as reinforcing activities during articulation work. Here are ten activities that really work for me: 1. Go Fishin- This is a game that I had in my speech room, and every time I had it out for my preschool population, my older students would see it and want to play too. So, I changed it into a way to use it for articulation work. I wrote numbers on the bottom of each fish, so that each time my students catch a fish, they have to say their word or sentence that many number of times. If I could do this again, I would start with higher numbers (I did 1-4) to get more productions. 2. Making Progressive Sentences- My kids think this is hysterical. We start with one articulation card and make a sentence. "I see a soccer player." Then, we add a card and add to our sentence. "I see a soccer player eating a sandwich." Then, we add even more! "I see a soccer player eating a sandwich with Santa." 3. Chipper Chat- This is my one go to item that is fun for all ages. My students LOVE to pick up the chips with the magnetic wand. Students roll the dice and say their word or sentence the number of times on the dice. Then, they get chips to put on their board. When they fill up the board, they can take the chips off. Sometimes, I have students start with all of the chips on the board and take that number of chips off the board. I use the set from Super Duper Inc., but there are lots of different magnet chip boards that you can find on Teachers Pay Teachers. If you don't buy the Chipper Chat set, you can find a bingo magnet and chips at a store like Wal-Mart or Target. I have even seen them at the dollar store occasionally. 4. Paper Clips on Articulation Cards- This works great with the chipper chat magnet wands. Just put paper clips on your articulation cards, and the kids can go fishing for cards. I like to put the cards face down so that the cards are a "surprise" each time. 5. Memory- Ok, I'm sorry, but really, my kids of all ages still LOVE to play memory! I try not to play it too often so it doesn't wear out it's welcome though. 6. Paper Bag- Put cards in a paper bag and pull them out. Try to guess what you will get before you pull it out. If you guess correctly, you get to keep it. First person to guess all of their cards correctly wins. Some kids have a really eerie ability to do this! 7. A Good Book- I love to take a good book out for students and try to find words that start with their sound. I pull out a piece of paper and we write down all of the words that have their sound. I love when I can have them bring books from class for this so that they may think about those words again during reading groups with their teacher. 8. Categories! I have students pick a word from their articulation cards and tell me the category of the item. We create piles of different categories and see how many different piles we can make. Students have to say their word in a sentence, "A sandwich is an food." I love this activity because students get both articulation and language benefits. 9. Guess the Item- I describe the articulation word to the student and see if they can guess the word I am describing. 10. Articulation Recall- We roll the dice to see how many cards the student has to recall. I then present that number of words to the student and give them a moment to memorize them. Then, we flip them over face down and see if the student can recall each word before flipping it back. There you have it! Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned veteran, hopefully some of these ideas will help you to cut the monotony and put more fun in your articulation sessions.
