Winter

Pair this activity with the book "Bear Stays Up for Christmas" by Karma Wilson

This activity is a fun way to target recognizing and using preposition words such as "above", "next to", and "inside".

This is a fun articulation activity I created myself! Have your child make little balls out of playdough and choose a snowman to "smash"! Have them tell you the word on the snowman they choose to smash and then ask them "what did you smash?! I didn't see it!" to get extra practice.

This is another activity I created - an open-ended winter themed board game, perfect for any articulation target! Write in the words you want your child to practice on the blank spaces. For older kids, have them come up with words with their sounds and write them in as they play. Increase the complexity by asking them to come up with complete sentences using their word. Cut out the game pieces and stand them up in binder clips or use your own manipulatives.

Create some cinnamon scented ornaments in this fun language activity! Target following directions and expanding utterances while you enjoy the season.

Winter Speech and Language Tree

Talk about the changes the winter season brings with this printable speech and language activity! To adapt it for articulation exercises, write words with the target sounds on or under the snowflakes and pinecones and practice them before you glue them on. For language activities, model verbs and prepositions like "cut", "put on", "glue", "put it under the owl", or "put it next to to the pinecone".

Practice language and social-emotional skills with the Grinch in this super fun, super simple "snacktivity"! Pair this activity with the book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". This is a great introduction into being thoughtful, kind, and what it means to have empathy to our young learners!

Get outside (or inside!) and get moving with this winter scavenger hunt! Use this activity to target vocabulary, prepositions, pronouns, articulation, and more! I like to give my young learners a clipboard and pen so they can cross them off as we find them. This activity is perfect for children learning to use AAC devices too! Target core words like "see", "look", and "there".

This simple Choose Your Own Adventure about a snow day is a fun way to get your kids reading and predicting! I made mine kind of silly to keep their interest up. It's easy to create your own using powerpoint! This story is full of /S/ articulation words and you can use it creatively to practice inferencing, main idea, winter vocabulary, verbs and nouns, and more!
