Random Speech Therapy Activities + FREEBIES


I love changing up my therapy materials up from time to time to surprise my students. I really love Teachers Pay Teachers for this purpose. It helps me find randomness when I need it. I am going to share my most "random" products below, but first I wanted to share some free and easy "random" ideas that are a hit with students.

1. Trash can basketball- This one is probably the easiest to set up but it will get your students moving and engaged. Simply wod up paper into balls and place an empty trash can or bin across the room. The student will practice a target word or skill and then try to make the paper ball into the can. You can make it a competition!

2. Card bean bag toss- Spread out your favorite articulation or language cards on the floor and have the students toss bean bags (or small stuffed animals) onto them. Simple but kids really like it!

3. Flashlight Search and Find: Tape a certain number of articulation or language cards/targets around the room. Turn down the lights (be cautious of safety leave some lights on) and give the students a flashlight. Tell them to search until they found all of the cards (in the meantime practicing the skill every time they find one).

 

I have created what some people have called pretty "random" therapy activities. My students LOVE when I create something new like this, a little novelty goes a long way! These products are unlike anything else and are for sure going to intrigue your students.
