With COVID it's been awhile since we've sat closer at a table and shared game pieces so this week was so much fun for the kids and myself! Over the years I have created a wide variety of game companions and mats that can be used to target a variety of speech and language skills while also playing with toys or games.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Each activity is available separately but I have also bundled most of these Toys and Game companions on TPT for a discount! All the pictures below are linked.

I saw it several months ago and thought it was such a cute idea but I had two problems trying to make it work in speech. First, my students don't have desks, we all sit at a table together during our sessions. Second, most teachers had been using the desk pets as a behavior management system and I didn't have a need for a behavior management system since our sessions are so short and we have a system in place at my school. So, I thought for awhile on how I could adapt this idea for my kids and Practice Pets are the result! </p><p style="text-align: center;"> ( Please know that this post contains affiliate links to the erasers and container I bought from amazon)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Practice-Pets-6942036" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJmQEZaMOVpQQ-2rCAJ_41fcQvenmpYyEY_1X_mtlT9zsy_adl3jv7jmZXKFdIU3Noi6JYXbj_o1kyMnBPfUkKJW1dqjATgCrreECKjZ6lOYrM_clK1l-zRvYbKcY2omGbh8yLZZ96CJn_/w640-h640/1.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The concept is that the kids will use the pets to practice their speech or language skills by talking to their pet, describing their pet or answering questions about their pet. You could implement this anytime throughout the year or in conjunction with a "pet" theme. I plan on using them during our pet theme at the beginning of the school year. On TPT I have added a downloadable file with printables to go along with the Practice Pets!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Practice-Pets-6942036" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxmM10r_E88wpzAU3h_633-uUEGVEYvDY-2ZgWw8uMJzC9OiGu0YgblnQGUuyQkH3bFPhzIF2NUq3ASokad5D1q_BKlagL0KEcGZ1iTFOAkTN2Ey7MIcxKTUNfiLcZ_gYthxoab61vaJiF/w640-h640/2.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Obviously the pets and the "pet shop" are not included in the download.

For our last theme this year we learned about the ocean and animals that live in the ocean. I see kiddos in pre-K through 5th grade with a variety of communication and developmental delays so I like to have a wide variety of materials. One of the questions I get asked the most is how do you do all that in one week? The answer is I don't, we pick and choose activities/books depending on what the kids seem interested in or what best fits the skills they are working on. Since I see the same kids for multiple years I may do one activity one year and then a different one the next so that we are always keeping things interesting.

This is an easy and fun guessing game that we play during speech therapy in-person or during teletherapy. I play with my mini-objects from Dinky Doodads of the alphabet tubs from Lakeshore Learning. Here's how to play! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Step One</b>: Print the Guess What poster or display it on your computer/SmartBoard. However, you need to share it, share it so your students can see the questions. Review the questions and how to play with your students. These questions are just suggestions, students can ask other questions too. This game works best for middle-upper elementary or students who can read. </div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Guess-What-Game-6683286" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg00zrYvtvC5p5nLalEbsZ8vmuyckwICbk6YwmMDdyA12wdYrqSN66jnmURC8Vo5K6FL0rGkZz8MNAjIp6hpIrJeGZtv9cz8DjWIAZF5cYs9lVTKBPchjk4bFAKjij0I2jX4N5exo29h80v/w640-h640/1.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Guess-What-Game-6683286" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzz6hVzABtuKYA5dQurV_kmnpO99jRdq_8TClapVAPuHSyC5yu5UPN3JjnHj_i6NRGmIocaiotL4j4-INn-ohVySXOWNPH_9od0yd_tCiKHRxuPXxX6FJPpZV-R8jTZ2avL2O6gkuFnY_o/w640-h640/2.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Step Two:</b> Choose a mini-object but don't show it to your students.

If this is really difficult for your student you can show them the collection of items beforehand so they have an idea of what it could possibly be. I adjust the game as needed for my students. The student who correctly guesses the most objects during our session wins! If you are in a one-on-one session I challenge the student to figure out the mystery object with the fewest number of questions each time. So, for example, if they figured it out in 10 questions before, we try for 9 during the next round. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Guess-What-Game-6683286" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigoJLbdoizqK2GwhGV3BKquKfHTyE_1VBSV0Mtqv5yd5tXhFNYhiM9E_toFQHZrSqS0twlQpip79U_E2SN8GDRvuiKMnGTcAsn1wunKUwYRhabi_O7WzKCDiCTiLfMTyxIyAcf-V-oumxK/w640-h640/5.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made these mini-object boxes this past summer with items from Dinky Doodads, you check out how I put these boxes together and download these labels for FREE <a href="http://www.primarypunch.com/2020/07/articulation-mini-objects.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.primarypunch.com/2020/07/articulation-mini-objects.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRAsdyKPnLbO_lPloLpll6dx4qwCwn7NiT9C7gCidCSH9WTLMnizSqT8dG8WZeOwU5TXcpkyGw1qRXlgy45hrQdJc-yS8DfmAB_jwn_KobtE_V_Ow7pnyASxUch8P_pGJ2MpI1RDidLiBi/w640-h640/6.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.primarypunch.com/2020/07/articulation-mini-objects.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi036ENtviGH-NNJDejFjyG1hmtrlFZNBiPHsRfr0bv5Ywg0aJ76ZXl-0Z3zxCbFuIDbUmu49vj79vaesRQ4c7x6fOKaNIDZoqfx260n3nSNJHFis74osC6NL8d6oFcDPPGw3ZkzRz_NgR5/w640-h640/7.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.primarypunch.com/2020/07/articulation-mini-objects.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR6SoNCDI7PbEEWuYjbOO_ImP1c0Wa9BWm5sxDT37urW7EhI6Qh011WxQV5TguVaAEf6sX2zxz_gP_0M8MrwOA9e1P6s_knC-U7uvJbxyy98LQnIwGUSCAR_TaHFjsLDw-TPNWoYyek2ua/w640-h640/8.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Have mixed groups?

It's looking like I may be headed back to some face-to-face therapy soon and I am excited! I will still have students remaining virtual too so you'll still see a mix of teletherapy and face-to-face activities. This month is full of fun, colorful themes. We'll stick to mainly three themes in March; colors, weather, and St. Patrick's Day. Since rainbows can fit into any of those themes you'll see a lot of them this month if you're following along on Instagram! This post is a collection of all the St. Patrick's Day fun we'll be having.

Being virtual we will use the boom cards and some of the items with the document camera but I included the toys too for anyone working face to face.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvlgASG2LxyfvZL8pAXT_BJDoAGVdJDucW5Nin9DTG_BnipqmlEgd7Kik3kPeqUEA2efQsYaA3CLhJ9moOz_wGPNu1-JWsw9HRqY0enYZ6zPWLKpgudFN8gBRjoYKRNTreExXu28CbRRiH/s1080/1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvlgASG2LxyfvZL8pAXT_BJDoAGVdJDucW5Nin9DTG_BnipqmlEgd7Kik3kPeqUEA2efQsYaA3CLhJ9moOz_wGPNu1-JWsw9HRqY0enYZ6zPWLKpgudFN8gBRjoYKRNTreExXu28CbRRiH/w640-h640/1.png" width="640" /></a></p><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">You know I always have to start with some good books!

This post is a big collection of Valentine's Day materials we'll use!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQlsu7cqbm8R5UKaJJksBACmQszqODDJ8E3dLjC59EOEexXf9B1PvpwzsjMukr-83eR4kccyat5wXGywB5ADfXjxuZa2zk3pgpgKrMvKpNzEtlSwAXWW7u-6Tr080XvlPcK5sNlMThRmrE/s1080/1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQlsu7cqbm8R5UKaJJksBACmQszqODDJ8E3dLjC59EOEexXf9B1PvpwzsjMukr-83eR4kccyat5wXGywB5ADfXjxuZa2zk3pgpgKrMvKpNzEtlSwAXWW7u-6Tr080XvlPcK5sNlMThRmrE/w640-h640/1.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a name='more'></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">First, we have books, books, and more books!

They both have the same concept, you don't want to pop the valentine balloons (similar to my snowball fight deck but with balloons instead of snowballs). The articulation deck includes 25 different phonemes and the language deck has 20 different language skills. The language deck is mostly reading though so better for middle-upper elementary. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Language-Valentine-Party-6472110" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht4WKdz4QTuIJDjHiYhaYsG_8nVEcF3g-OORoul3gkeujrzq60TlLKCh-xBMfJ9sBnw7bA9BcJDuzfB2-K0xZNKyLD-3ZprZXI8rHv4T4Yig71xM8nlcF6-y5afK_OdLP5EvRSWvZ5kI_W/w640-h640/7.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Of course, I have to include my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-iSpy-February-6290736" target="_blank">February iSpy</a> and <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Winning-Word-February-6266753" target="_blank">February Winning Word</a>.

I find that having a good variety of language and articulation decks really makes my sessions run smoothly as I can pivot if need be. I made a seasonal <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Boom-Book-Valentines-Day-6455359" target="_blank">Boom Book called Valentine's Day</a>. These boom books have WH- questions, sequencing, retelling, and a mini-story that I can use to target so many language skills. This one is about finding who gave the girl in the story a red valentine. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Boom-Book-Valentines-Day-6455359" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqhNEVTTN2BlEDiB2FYEzZkXhbt5_DHp30PbpYfFctR88LTq2a4HPccpH4YAH0EJhccwAjnh0x03EMyHDGYPfC6AObZ0i7I1rw7rWM2zZB8MuYdFosrrTtSvPzufq1qHUadShfbUVJ-PQX/w640-h640/12.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The next three decks, <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Love-Letters-6449631" target="_blank">Love Letters</a>, <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Candy-Hearts-6453897" target="_blank">Candy Hearts</a>, and <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Candy-Jar-6458757" target="_blank">Candy Jar </a>are all articulation centered decks. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Love-Letters-6449631" target="_blank">Love Letters</a> is a "feed me" game where the students are challenged to find the love letter hiding behind one of the pictures. My 4th-5th graders enjoy four-in-a-row games so Candy Hearts is one of those. Candy Hearts only has words, no pictures so it's better suited for mid-upper elementary. And last but not least, Candy Jar. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Candy-Jar-6458757" target="_blank">Candy Jar </a>challenges the students to find the pictures that contain their speech sound and put them in the candy jar. I like this because it builds awareness to their sound. All three of these games are similar to other games I have made with the same concept but a different theme in the past few months. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Love-Letters-6449631" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-SZ_JAb-wJMupaNPSFhvJAejAAsSYEzSNjMWF8WgZFCpLlr2TRONtQQVN9JjHMtNWc5ijbYH51dV5TDovwgT2QUTwtBChuUVhgshukyHrVkPHcNfCruI8ynkkQmkEPx2zOXzv2M5EIDIw/w640-h640/13.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Candy-Hearts-6453897" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHhVWXbg2Ipy5lME8Cc_-KysnEwBuIuc59ATDqPal1vMci0RQH1os6TDl49f2tA08ZcDliQkOH2YP8MeGJgoDIi7Rlko-xJmV8IGCq8l0TU2cQqz_l7ylrGntAm0Aw2oKIMAqDXoz_rfkH/w640-h640/14.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Candy-Jar-6458757" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAOkLvRm1BbnoEv2SxzOEPzgb7f1BnINdHVMoa3B-D41RpskVuoZAyEOrxnPoYY2so7Dg-mzDuEKcesdJ0HVtuGD3RjwWQrbFdXH50u1P7yHJ4k8-pKjTRvv3OEXz-YZCrQwhrabiUbER0/w640-h640/15.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This month I also bundled all the <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-February-Bundle-Pack-6515954" target="_blank">Boom Cards for February</a> together at a discounted price if you are interested in more than one deck. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-February-Bundle-Pack-6515954" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Ck6f0eyc-6e2E9iN3ZaaAqL8TuMQaEeE1qzytncGw0fd0VSqUmDOKzdUou2EPKzLojY3j6_zx7eLrEbbNfbyFoO0NaNKTap_YgKVWwZBeYMq64H3o8U3WEHlNKnCeD5kgfIWyrJYFAJZ/w640-h640/16.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Back to paper materials, I have a Valentine's Day no-prep printables pack.

I am back sharing our first theme of 2021, winter! I have four to five themes that I like to use in January...new year, winter, arctic animals, yetis, and snow. I have ALOT of materials for snow so that usually ends up taking 2-3 weeks and sometimes I don't get to the other themes. This year I am planning to start with winter, mix in a little bit of yetis and finish the last two weeks with snow. This post is about winter and the materials to get us started for the new year! Here's what we'll be up to virtually and some ideas if you are seeing students face to face. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbNMQYot8a8MvNuN5Hrk8Um2r-TFF-jYODz8VHGvkdeOi-lqx6XEDn2gpbIIYn7aiJcbO8LdBT8ED2PQvW3I_9C_CeGgiGVO0QpzEWX3JVQpqWM32eDDv7guN6QlLjYtbzJBqy2mZpKDdD/s1080/1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbNMQYot8a8MvNuN5Hrk8Um2r-TFF-jYODz8VHGvkdeOi-lqx6XEDn2gpbIIYn7aiJcbO8LdBT8ED2PQvW3I_9C_CeGgiGVO0QpzEWX3JVQpqWM32eDDv7guN6QlLjYtbzJBqy2mZpKDdD/w640-h640/1.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I always have to start by sharing books!

We do so many things with vocabulary words.

I LOVE these two boom card decks for vocabulary.

I give each student a gameboard that fits their goals and we play. The first player to fill in one of their columns wins! With teletherapy, I can still play using a document camera but it's hard to differentiate thee gameboards. We usually play with just one and assign columns to each of the kids. We still try to be the first player to fill up their column. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Winter-Wonderland-5067321" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqq0oDZgNFXbXvqR6KZpQSWOCh76XDgYLNm6HZkt-u4xTlGdq0_c0lxl38GLkTOkrM7k59-mnMg8jhHYxo8dIADv4mQFfskk7ebpYBrg_P1sL-lIo0_gyFlojhdt1O9nAndXFFGlqLBJ60/w640-h640/5.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have a snowman <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Articulation-50-Trials-4923602" target="_blank">50 Trials</a> printable for my older kids working on articulation....this probably would fit better with the snow theme but like I said I have a lot of snow materials so I may use this during the first few weeks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubm5kES5y5QQ9LNOn4Nd4VyoJnNIApEeI46V_CH3NY1CzE_37PF0qzh_ZvvwjtGE_M_Czglq67HaEYQVS6JvU4aZpuNFB15hrHGy7i2pYRcWJ93L1E8PvQ03l2giRiR9H4NispGzOQpIu/s1080/6.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubm5kES5y5QQ9LNOn4Nd4VyoJnNIApEeI46V_CH3NY1CzE_37PF0qzh_ZvvwjtGE_M_Czglq67HaEYQVS6JvU4aZpuNFB15hrHGy7i2pYRcWJ93L1E8PvQ03l2giRiR9H4NispGzOQpIu/w640-h640/6.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Books about mittens and crafts with mittens are great for the winter theme.

As most SLPs know games are super motivating to my students. Typically we take a turn practicing our goal and then playing the game. Sometimes the game itself is practice for our goals. Games encourage spontaneous requesting, taking turns, joint attention, following directions, and a range of pragmatics skills. Of these games Yeti in My Spaghetti and Spot it Fire and Ice are my favorites. I would not recommend Yeti, Set, Go! While the kids enjoy it, it is a bit chaotic and hard to put togehter. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj02pdpEn87EDmF-IXpVnAGqwPo3pkC-xYFRnWlyZ2ruBvpUFJhZg3VL-sXDEC1nmSpnTD1vGlrOIx_2p3OKNkzi1MOuO5xOPPjrqr-Tks93qTZLPVm0KqiQPocLTxe-KGinY21D_oguv0r/s1080/12.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj02pdpEn87EDmF-IXpVnAGqwPo3pkC-xYFRnWlyZ2ruBvpUFJhZg3VL-sXDEC1nmSpnTD1vGlrOIx_2p3OKNkzi1MOuO5xOPPjrqr-Tks93qTZLPVm0KqiQPocLTxe-KGinY21D_oguv0r/w640-h640/12.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Spot it Fire and Ice is a new to me game.

This is so much fun in person and we've been able to play using a document camera for teletherapy too! They are also great to use to go on a "sound hunt" and see how many pictures you can find with the targeted speech sound. For my language groups, we may find the match and then hunt for pictures that fit into a given category like food or clothes or a given adjective like things that are red, round or hot. If you want to play with a whole class you could break the class into two teams. Project the two cards using the Smartboard or document camera. Have one player from each team come up to play at a time. Whichever player finds the match first wins a point for their team and the first team to 10 points wins! There are so many ways to play! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-h-MLQUiMVvdqD-AaMjbva9nhihGmlW0IA7KHOtWqkHfogpgt8Nldqa-Yx6CQLxx4CIkYkupEMeE0KqYkdbgF71Y3Svm9GFz_wvqQrD0jnNnbrdsmMxYrgWgHT9yZFpzgEkX3M0fQC_Vu/s1080/21.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-h-MLQUiMVvdqD-AaMjbva9nhihGmlW0IA7KHOtWqkHfogpgt8Nldqa-Yx6CQLxx4CIkYkupEMeE0KqYkdbgF71Y3Svm9GFz_wvqQrD0jnNnbrdsmMxYrgWgHT9yZFpzgEkX3M0fQC_Vu/w640-h640/21.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I will definitely be using lots of Boom Cards next week.

These storytelling pieces and storytelling board are the perfect size to fit under the Osmo as a document camera. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.lakeshorelearning.com/products/ca/p/LC265/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=PLA&CATARGETID=520011010000099082&CADevice=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI07D60vql7QIVE4eGCh3hkADXEAQYASABEgJzFPD_BwE" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjViuOe0LXhJV6VDR3CmF7VZI5Ux9xFvlI8dCLfIXnbZk92HDKP7a6qCkyWNejOF5ROcPuJdhtUiBgNSLyNI_j1p2Whg5O8L07eHEKP08gbYgX8S2nsUVb8maJnSC0fI-kUUcJHyUKfxU1D/w640-h640/3.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.lakeshorelearning.com/products/ca/p/LC265/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=PLA&CATARGETID=520011010000099082&CADevice=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI07D60vql7QIVE4eGCh3hkADXEAQYASABEgJzFPD_BwE" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghC9JScZJGq_dSqhX88Epiz0O7l34DgQCDl8nvNE8OBdhLwACAfcmNg0IkNMDVBO0VtZgYrnfLnWWBGUAW1kskNlZPk35u4DEFLTqLvPgCXpzA_jn1s21m8cNnH7c20zmZnvCzYwL4dYe7/w640-h640/4.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've also started a collection of FREE Gingerbread books on <a href="https://www.getepic.com/" target="_blank">Epic</a> that are available to read too.

And between therapy and my boys at home I have been able to play with all of these recommendations, most of them many times! They are often requested at home or in the speech room. So this year I decided to compile a list of my favorite toys and games by age for anyone looking for Christmas or holiday gifts. Many (if not all) of these toys and games are also great for increasing language skills, pragmatic skills, or overall conversational skills. All of these can be found on Amazon (and other sites too) so I have included links below too! Keep in mind the age ranges are approximated, truthfully I haven't met a student who doesn't like playing with the Piggy Popper! Let me know what you think! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">**Full disclosure: I am an Amazon affiliate member and I may receive compensation for your clicks or purchases through the links provided below.**</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

These are great for mixed groups. I print a turkey body and a set of feathers for each student. The feathers will be target/goal specific. We color, cut them out, and assemble during our session. While we color/cut I take notes on conversational speech and carryover abilities during unstructured conversation. It's a great time to just listen to my students speak and hear what they are starting to use or are not starting to use. After we assemble the kids use the targeted pictures to practice their goals. We then hang the turkeys in the hallway when we are finished with them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Turkey-Talk-3503094" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmvsqikLU7ynlICSIcOH7r6MwExfh2fE_dN8CpvGbMvpd2hTNJaVXhFYKYZYaOOby8Xn2jqmNMSXUY0hQSXmDHIyeBmyqF5v5wajHFP-YyGxdGdbsIHekFbXa-yjGFh1Ehd79Jp-sgkukp/w640-h640/3.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Turkey-Talk-3503094" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQrfhUYaWdms5HV5lRwMPI8Bt0FELV1oiIHV3tUnM0YsT8QFru5iCvvVSbb1EzhJfK8cH33_q3JvS7xHAFv4elWEVKNz5uT9JjYPtM8G7906yIkc04kNFt_vh3QXhTTyNr8yIVG6UzYnbe/w640-h640/4.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Turkey-Talk-3503094" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNtA07_GcId43sI_jloyoRb8x5TPHVFYPsablDCXqb0vVkfaCyzfJNVBcMkmS_ZovDRy_eCq-9p8wiKt3gkgH-m3yZf3rvbUSb65BXfXq9grOG6P39zljyVW_YQep__e8-tQGW9D6k8Q4C/w640-h640/5.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Turkey-Trot-4991664" target="_blank">Turkey Trot</a> was one of the first seasonal dice games I made last year. It's another great game that makes planning for mixed groups easy. I give each student a game board that is specific to their goals. I like to use candy corn as the pieces to cover our spaces and we call them "Turkey Toes or Turkey Teeth". The kids think this is really funny. Some of my kids like to eat candy corn so if they do I let them take their pieces home to eat. I obviously don't reuse the game pieces, whatever the student plays with either gets eaten or goes in the trash. I can usually find candy corn leftover from Halloween pretty cheap around this time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Turkey-Trot-4991664" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxH-1_yclK194GGwuxZEwtXv20i0JZihcCRz-yN7pf4cuzRBJbTBGbhR8C0JyePpaP8sKUJpB7SR3bOSy-ertSWeUIKPuSb6tnntRKodNWnNzT_DkI77__Q_Ayh5feBFdFATC4_XPVzWRM/w640-h640/6.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Turkey-Trot-4991664" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDNVkmzPCsa6qh-Db8GhN4mX6p-NPa5VQehUhHwZFKFEfNwqmtpHtSDtYjCXNlSFcg-asgr9yQKVzJs8gDS9Ks80CfCuBiImbvE2UQwCabmrU_poRLV_agHFSRaBkgLQcHp75x7RWydrPB/w640-h640/7.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Turkey-Trot-4991664" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt2aAiTzVqPDxB1k7mYXcIPVlLUYmCEGV-93raUWN6i1tsu1is2188m60z6CN7M27TTewwlzfYEPmAZTiSKla-PO62DLq84ST8lCfsu7N6hvNaup3H_CnyVJngKUrgHTbIxx_SF5iJoi85/w640-h640/8.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next, I have a fun paper bag game called <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Paper-Bag-Games-Turkey-Feathers-4991702" target="_blank">Turkey Feathers</a>! The kids color and cut out the instructions. We glue this to the bag and then I cut the top of the bag to size. This makes it easier to reach in and grab the cards. Sometimes I print the cards on colored paper but other times I just print on white paper. Since the file has game cards for both articulation and language it makes it easy again to plan for mixed groups.

This month kicks off new themes, new games, new books, new toys, and new activities. My first theme in November is Squirrels & Acorns. I may mix in a little about forest animals with this theme too. It's a short and sweet little theme. I don't have a huge amount of materials for this theme but it's a silly one that my kids seem to enjoy. Here's what we have planned! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_dldHo7XrcLKstWgIal94tw08NxsiFcT_-X3i4ynD2PYXLlltlXrua5CXnUj_gyEA8vrABnqcSqt99o2kiVPsMdj4fvYbuJ3DywdXnvaaCHll4wknvUbX82hUPSwl5Iujs5lnkBBjG9JP/s1080/1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_dldHo7XrcLKstWgIal94tw08NxsiFcT_-X3i4ynD2PYXLlltlXrua5CXnUj_gyEA8vrABnqcSqt99o2kiVPsMdj4fvYbuJ3DywdXnvaaCHll4wknvUbX82hUPSwl5Iujs5lnkBBjG9JP/w640-h640/1.png" width="640" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">First, I have books! I usually start a session with a book, move on to a game, and then wrap-up with independent practice. I only have a few books with this theme. I have plenty of books that also cover forest animals (bears, owls, bats, etc.) but these are the books specific to squirrels and acorns that I like to read. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUHFIdocJWIWSVyQvIC6gAmx321ocw7Cd1p1eQAoLKiAYl0QEJpSWe04Ip9u1uHkVOboDaq1tc3QkzrIuzZ_fkCekR4tJiHKFm_nEZ0-BcbB5RqZYtUv6p-FIm_frO5jeziCM2hIosp1mR/s1080/2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUHFIdocJWIWSVyQvIC6gAmx321ocw7Cd1p1eQAoLKiAYl0QEJpSWe04Ip9u1uHkVOboDaq1tc3QkzrIuzZ_fkCekR4tJiHKFm_nEZ0-BcbB5RqZYtUv6p-FIm_frO5jeziCM2hIosp1mR/w640-h640/2.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If I were providing services face to face we'd be playing Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel this week!

I play these games often and switch out the color of the gameboards or mini-erasers to keep it new and interesting. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mini-Eraser-Speech-Games-5027409" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHHl4TvurXvyRSoMcayXmqArSfcfFGDjl6UEbEPdaH54va_LSFpmjtqmVM8_urY_w2554-YTxzAJaxokREbzHclvUpnwkXf1pLXn26a02OiplorFsemGwJYnMtnGI2cyQgs068EX32GJc6/w640-h640/9.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mini-Eraser-Speech-Games-5027409" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzw8tSJN2Ibrbrdxkwu7VDao1W0sMSi-7v5iVp-a8T89PWazB6BrNLMq4Gk_qb458RitjAIcDwzlD721nEcrgaz5FhYGVicXO8FaY1Fxj8hv4A0j5RXkEa-F-h0MAgzCh4jgcdODZ3_rOJ/w640-h640/10.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since all therapy for me will be through teletherapy I will also use two Boom Card activities. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-All-the-Acorns-5572906" target="_blank">All The Acorns </a>focuses on articulation skills and <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Forest-Friends-5562047" target="_blank">Forest Friends</a> is a very basic introduction to forest animals for little ones (pre-k-2nd) which works on naming, identifying, and making inferences. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_uFydaVtbbzsLIeVR-QG92J_UhJSgbO6KnK_spXyqUNoe5BmjH-hZszFHfcomSQcn4Eh3hr7AAjbkAQFdwePUyycE1Hv2LEtjdMl1ARkhyTUQslLwCovBfcTof5uCnrrGy6UYDqJy4y8C/s1080/11.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_uFydaVtbbzsLIeVR-QG92J_UhJSgbO6KnK_spXyqUNoe5BmjH-hZszFHfcomSQcn4Eh3hr7AAjbkAQFdwePUyycE1Hv2LEtjdMl1ARkhyTUQslLwCovBfcTof5uCnrrGy6UYDqJy4y8C/w640-h640/11.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-All-the-Acorns-5572906" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs5G8sLrn-fhZS0blTwqDe7wiHAYyUs_lqCkUGNJf01Awv4WbKrFunkEZulpQia4oIrItdWgH9FDWC6YOXvUcUeL-QrC4yut5-1a1qogmpEGgMjXxYJH7MDgCMPo5Xv07RJG_XS2tCA6i6/w640-h640/12.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Forest-Friends-5562047" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQQe5REde9o1PFgpxYUvzDsdN7UlK8cx5xCr2IREFRIR37I6gh4dLrcZ79DXtef_hxeky0i01vwjBrBx90eMjgWpC7aPCMr1lhdpfIvL-j6ljHZo13YzAoe9fO9Gt7mk5b5Fb0DC5Vu1MU/w640-h640/13.png" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">And that's that!

It has made me realize how much I miss working with kids in person and just being able to play. But, I had a few evaluations with some energetic, busy little ones and was a bit rusty. I went into the evaluation thinking the PLS-5 toys would be sufficient in keeping their attention and encouraging them to participate and realized I needed some back-up. Usually, I am testing in my speech room and would have toys everywhere to grab but my room is pretty small so I have been testing in another room that is larger while we ease back into face-to-face contact. So, I decided I needed a busy box full of all my go-to's that I usually reach for to grab their attention when testing fatigue sets in. I wanted it all to fit in a small box so I could take it easily to a different room when needed. Here's what I came up with. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUp7C78mGDA5bD7WxS2falvtdTeXz-fDlRLPYiTDmJ5S95MbZ56yUmVRU-6haevhaRDAS5GAdEtekBWE0pvNFXHk5H3mFxb5HgocnL1AAGR33JVYEhv0W5hZYxH0G3P1xzmUKanepl6ro7/s1080/1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUp7C78mGDA5bD7WxS2falvtdTeXz-fDlRLPYiTDmJ5S95MbZ56yUmVRU-6haevhaRDAS5GAdEtekBWE0pvNFXHk5H3mFxb5HgocnL1AAGR33JVYEhv0W5hZYxH0G3P1xzmUKanepl6ro7/w640-h640/1.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpKva46XYREA0Gp3HhrF5rEbmsh6gaBuTNL6Y4bn5Hhq8HmOow8iiMfiK-2AeBJ6K01g8Gw1arIifut9TjdRGTdv_YAEFaSkTsVEGS50PeXqOVWlrltw_6xYui9fNepb4ETUFZojM1l9rs/s1080/2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpKva46XYREA0Gp3HhrF5rEbmsh6gaBuTNL6Y4bn5Hhq8HmOow8iiMfiK-2AeBJ6K01g8Gw1arIifut9TjdRGTdv_YAEFaSkTsVEGS50PeXqOVWlrltw_6xYui9fNepb4ETUFZojM1l9rs/w640-h640/2.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I felt it was important to use a clear box so the student could see the items and request or tell me what they wanted from inside.

I frantically searched the internet to find the Halloween version because this game is one of my older students' favorites and we can play it with a document camera too. It has a pretty good range of words with /R/ phonemes which is great because most of my older articulation groups are working on /R/ phonemes. Some examples of /R/ words included are "thirteen, trick, treat, monster, crow, brain, spider web, scarecrow, werewolf, pitchfork, rat, candy corn, spider, Frankenstein, Dracula, jack-o-lantern, and broom. Since the pictures are a bit spooky for Halloween I would recommend this for 3rd grade and up. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2C1AnS5cssW6nwCtCmi4AIR65UoPGH6fIiMo8MYF9hJiOo_aI_Rvx1JiKeiXfghxsFV6gmMej9HKX4jNcQLifdmOViq4B3IL8zq1JTMYOgCaUfcovpRCXlFsUQyLTssfv5w3X1iXmVW5Z/s1080/10.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2C1AnS5cssW6nwCtCmi4AIR65UoPGH6fIiMo8MYF9hJiOo_aI_Rvx1JiKeiXfghxsFV6gmMej9HKX4jNcQLifdmOViq4B3IL8zq1JTMYOgCaUfcovpRCXlFsUQyLTssfv5w3X1iXmVW5Z/w640-h640/10.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJoryLBt7ciESUWizNbLyhsAsm9wD30wX-Uq14I7_q4YPVwzJ3fgBIUULV1XHX76zDTWAAW94Gs19lHrn1Zi0b3g7knBL5I4-RCA0D1x4lIp3lvaRS6t-C77oLtp5DUPNEc-kV09Y2U-_5/s1080/11.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJoryLBt7ciESUWizNbLyhsAsm9wD30wX-Uq14I7_q4YPVwzJ3fgBIUULV1XHX76zDTWAAW94Gs19lHrn1Zi0b3g7knBL5I4-RCA0D1x4lIp3lvaRS6t-C77oLtp5DUPNEc-kV09Y2U-_5/w640-h640/11.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Of course, I can't share a theme therapy post without a collection of books!

I put together a few Boom Card activities for this year to help fill in where we wouldn't be able to use the printable activities.

It focuses on articulation skills and includes 15 words for each phoneme (most in the initial, medial and final position). The students will drag and drop the pictures into the monster's mouth while practicing their sound. I have also hidden a tiny monster behind one picture on each page that I will challenge them to find, this will just add a bit of fun to practicing! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Monster-Mouth-6115424" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz26iT5EfeqhUuWAPV8vCB10hmp0eLWQRRKO2I0fzokojuBAjGhN9KrjbNgpjUP0awSX6wdRUzPv_Fl9J7UnpTE7SRXuDQ71lo3-gEeOPljp9JTn7jmLp3ZyjFFXq1gOtKmmzv5VM1iFuT/w640-h640/2.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Monster-Mouth-6115424" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtbmMHkiF7h08a0GZoNIW9p0GS3-VzSAmG_X2ZQjYPchtSSvS7wb31fqhRx2JpvOQCVKRdJpP_mCVZB47V0Qp79l-QS5xOmMrIADiiZrZNBZfzMLBPAM22EE-OKkDNUKdXPq3y5n76gNYv/w640-h640/3.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next, I have a dice game, <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Spooky-Speech-4952462">Spooky Speech</a>! We will modify the rules to this game slightly. In face to face therapy, I would give each student a gameboard with their specific speech or language goal. In teletherapy, I'll choose one gameboard (that covers the skill of most of the students in the group) and they'll each choose a column (2, 3, 4 or 5). We'll roll the digital dice on Toy Theater. If they roll a 1 they have to remove an eye from their column. If they roll a 6 they lose a turn. Whoever's column fills up first, wins! The best part is that we'll use googly eyes to cover the spots, making it so much more fun! I bought the googly eyes from Dollar Tree. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Spooky-Speech-4952462" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb3rUjPWTydukl4_UxC6Jndoe5TgWoRXoN1HheUAxBPV67_r3BuTNoQjsS21khL-M_SCwa0-MROiG4qW4aaa1rv1cGt1hcBAPmGAibEFAwiruJcFuhqx5hwEIwHtb314Bq-dM08h167OGo/w640-h640/4.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Spooky-Speech-4952462" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJuZrTiQfByoVuep1P_X-Wo7aPPGBoGZebWWeT38QbNYnf0PusLWFuB7ia990znAfc_OZXCzKZDc-Q-nhMSHqB5cP23Ef79Q9ZLZawd5Tm1TafN2Bvn0QvrkJa5nGjTvaewZyjU1xo4YLR/w640-h640/5.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Spooky-Speech-4952462" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYM3EyhHnRQBP_8hZmU6EuhjcJ9iTdxgHG9v_zif83OkynxF7V9r9aRlLg3ghltGVRnuwdXz5ZHtI5U3UomYZefOabWHW2YObFXfpFmQCz0q6Pgt9KQSx-gmM-n7bmwoQMmo7PMS0nhJX_/w640-h640/6.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Spooky-Speech-4952462" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvCvCON1PDuhOPrcWEx1H0IvBGFLB1RPM7neuYTqtt1uexaGnp_hV4wCquwYNWZesbAZu6ZkPpoLQ17NLPGKlOtk4F6YZI-6ojU7S8sfwRKQYzADfzXOouFRZE9ZBnsDmcHyBbmVvuv0bo/w640-h640/7.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Of course, I have to show you my monster books.

In October I like to read books, play games or complete activities with a variety of fun themes. My favorite themes for October are pumpkins, spiders and bats, monsters, and Halloween.

I have a variety for all ages (pre-K through middle elementary). The board books are great for my pre-K kiddos or students with limited language as they are simple and easy text. I love reading the How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin book with my 2nd-3rd graders. We can get in some inferencing, making predictions, and a little math too with that one. In face to face therapy we will also have a pumpkin to cut open and count the seeds. For every seed we count we say a word with our speech sound! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Tb6K-COJg3W1Cu2TnzK12JTcmkJKIu4-HobQmjSOX397htWEvIbamWSsy7K0m_Lpc7PkA7ygQDt5pNL64TNJvSpU1OEEdR91wN2SL65ImbBddjxh73zJJEYqveDOzppedwO8m-e6HKH6/s1080/2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Tb6K-COJg3W1Cu2TnzK12JTcmkJKIu4-HobQmjSOX397htWEvIbamWSsy7K0m_Lpc7PkA7ygQDt5pNL64TNJvSpU1OEEdR91wN2SL65ImbBddjxh73zJJEYqveDOzppedwO8m-e6HKH6/w640-h640/2.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next, is my monthly Dot Art, this month is a <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pumpkin-Speech-Language-Dot-Art-2802780" target="_blank">pumpkin</a>!

We challenge ourselves to practice our speech sound 50 times during the session. I used to try for a 100 but when working in groups of 3-4 I found it wasn't always realistic to get to 100 and some of my kids would become frustrated, so now we try for 50.

You can adapt the rules of the game to play over teletherapy (assign a number to each student, roll a dice and whoever fills up their column first wins) or since they are in half-sheets, if you have only two in your group they will both fit under the Osmo as a document camera and you can play with the original rules. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mini-Eraser-Speech-Games-5027409" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioiOw0lceopxRN5188F2J8aBZ2t5R_zjUmGHALQNdM4x9grF49OaHQSYNyX6b0-e7jZVp70IMUmozT7Dg7XpdwjxeX3R5hQnrJtUuTMil6EC9CqDsWLbMVpRwj6K_BiCN6UH4pyO28Q94s/w640-h640/5.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mini-Eraser-Speech-Games-5027409" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZLD49fXQJtb57zYw5opzBDp0zMgMA2devR4-V62j8rxV4bvgFQs3-cmSi678tIfGiaI0pVxXlaUwYBNtX1eqiMiCVoHmoyqSuMAiqepGtox9tdYsH-EasPCXbSmM9VQLsSu-6kMuzWmU/w640-h640/6.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdjzIhCPF7yD5Xv8DYKKSGuOcm_R2F5n7in9xvU2P5yMsfA3R2owSKWf-jjZz9-BgjMPAVwGifswoLgO529rOlCS1PmY4ETarZYuauBQJ5SMx5I3xfcbs8RGbnCb4LtHCZMpK2E7zgN3vY/s1080/7.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdjzIhCPF7yD5Xv8DYKKSGuOcm_R2F5n7in9xvU2P5yMsfA3R2owSKWf-jjZz9-BgjMPAVwGifswoLgO529rOlCS1PmY4ETarZYuauBQJ5SMx5I3xfcbs8RGbnCb4LtHCZMpK2E7zgN3vY/w640-h640/7.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mini-Eraser-Speech-Games-5027409" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzsVnmxejl-CelR48-gcOMI9fMFDshniFdFHi5MdUI1WkZvfiEEN-58Skc82CPOueCZcmcLGvPCwGEOU-62ngq5k4lHx8Pr6EJjWKETU28sMoJ-1eYAQqMA7Sr2NFEpM-8cwMdeUX2IlOr/w640-h640/8.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mini-Eraser-Speech-Games-5027409" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ0NWIl9ZEGvSKP8iJ9x6cOTKQPEPKp5qZioY4ORZzG49qiPFBjizAMHh36q93hoNQEfXA2fgsrkzx60UnPSOOSX2ZlDDlajfJsJyuDYoG9gTYiqJF_945vQJpQKteIZYIfNyS4s49fmL0/w640-h640/9.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This year I am excited to use the next two Boom Card activities too!

You choose a phoneme and then take turns dragging and dropping the pumpkins into the wheelbarrow. Before we drag and drop we always review the words by clicking the seed in the top right corner. We also choose a "winning word" and whoever finds the winning word, wins! This type of game is what inspired my newest Winning Word game decks! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Boom-Cards-Pumpkin-Patch-6017944" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqzsA_o_p1ccD9ENTvWkEDdIMrSGIsg8DOEb4Kvuj7SEPcaWujFk0vDqsP-jSDz3OSAVnGW4QxxfvNudSEDkFy6a3NCLHVJwJ5aFA_YOE1NcLueQhGkyouoCxsqEs8PJxYJKL7hg9gBaht/w640-h640/11.png" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">That rounds up pumpkins!
