December Language Therapy ideas and a FREEBIE for you

December already! I am looking forward to the holiday break for some time off to spend with family and friends.[spacer height=”20px”]

It can be a hectic time at school and the kids attention spans are short because they are so excited. I created this high interest, visually fun FREEBIE activity just for these days. Click here.  [spacer height=”20px”]

Laminate each of the four pages (perfect for group therapy) and grab some play dough (so cheap and fun, I think 4 containers are under $3 at Target). If I’m working with a group I roll the snowballs ahead of time.[spacer height=”20px”]

You can work on “her”. Child says “her mitten”, gets snowball and gets to smash it on the mitten. Or you can work on “she”. Child says “She has a mitten”, gets snowball and gets to smash it on the mitten. (Same for “his” and “he” for the snowman and boy snowbaby)[spacer height=”20px”]

The next level would be “She wants her hat” (using both forms of the feminine pronoun).

The males of course would be “He wants his hat”.[spacer height=”20px”]

The sheets can also be used for labeling winter vocabulary or for increasing MLU (I see a snowman).[spacer height=”20px”]

Play dough makes everything fun so your students will love this. You will too, enjoy![spacer height=”20px”]

If you are doing some planning and want to have some materials ready for when you return, my Winter Plurals will provide activities for two-three sessions.  This is a fun way to teach plurals with an introductory flip book, practice game, and follow up flip book to support the skill.  The Reading activities support connecting the skill from the vocabulary word level to the reading comprehension level.  [spacer height=”20px”]

Whatever you are doing for the next couple of weeks, I hope you can enjoy the contagious excitement and joy of season.[spacer height=”20px”]
