Bilabials are speech sounds you make using your lips. They are early developing and are easy to see how you make them. I will often use a mirror to show students how their lips are moving.

One of my favorite activities for working on bilabial sounds with younger children is BUBBLES! They quickly figure out that blowing air out of their mouth when their lips are in a circle makes the most bubbles. Use a mirror or look at your reflection in a door/window to help see what your lips are doing. This can be done outside, in the pool, or even in the bath!
Vocabulary: Bubbles, more, big, baby, pop pop pop, WOW, play, blow, water, want, whoa!
