10 Thanksgiving-themed speech therapy activities
Speech therapy activities for Thanksgiving can be both fun and effective for targeting various speech and language goals. Here are 10 Thanksgiving-themed speech therapy activities:
1. Turkey Talk:
- Create a paper turkey with feathers, each feather containing a target word or sound. As the child practices the word or sound correctly, they can add a feather to the turkey.
2. Thanksgiving Bingo:
- Use Thanksgiving-themed bingo cards with pictures related to the holiday. This activity helps with vocabulary development and listening skills.
3. Cooking Conversations:
- Plan a simple cooking activity, like making turkey-shaped cookies. Engage the child in conversation about the ingredients, steps, and the finished product to target expressive language skills.
4. Gratitude Journal:
- Have the child create a gratitude journal where they can write or draw things they are thankful for. This activity targets writing skills and encourages conversation about feelings.
5. Thanksgiving Storytelling:
- Use picture cards or a storybook with Thanksgiving-related scenes to encourage storytelling. This helps with narrative skills and expressive language.
6. Articulation Cornucopia:
- Create a cornucopia and fill it with fruits or vegetables, each representing a target word with the child's specific speech sound. This can be a creative way to practice articulation.
7. Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt:
- Hide Thanksgiving-themed items around the room or outside, and have the child follow clues or describe the items they find to work on receptive and expressive language skills.
8. Turkey Tail Feathers:
- Create a turkey tail with feathers, and on each feather, write a question or topic. The child can choose a feather and discuss the question or topic to practice conversational skills.
9. Thanksgiving Charades:
- Use Thanksgiving-themed charades cards with words or phrases related to the holiday. This activity targets expressive language and communication skills.
10. Pilgrim Pronouns:
- Use pictures or cutouts of Pilgrims and Native Americans to work on pronouns. For example, place the Pilgrim next to the Native American and practice sentences like "He is next to her."
Remember to adapt these activities based on the specific goals and needs of the individual receiving speech therapy. Making the activities enjoyable and relevant to Thanksgiving can enhance engagement and motivation.
