Bug Collection Articulation: A Speech Therapy Craft Activity

✄ Your students will love collecting bugs in the jar while practicing articulation skills! Perfect for spring and summer lesson plans (or any other time of year you do a bug theme!).

NEW Easy Cut Version included for free! There are two files in this download (regular and easy cut). I added the easy cut version for my younger students (it has a cutting guide around the images)

NO-PREP! Ink Friendly! Print & Go!

This activity was designed to be a simple, no-prep activity to target articulation perfect weather themed lesson plans. It is a simple cut and paste craft! Perfect for k-5 (some younger students may need cutting assistance, depending on fine motor abilities).

Commonly targeted phonemes included:

☞ Initial/Medial/Final: k, g, f, v, l, s, z, ch, j, sh, th (mixed voiced/unvoiced)

☞ lblends, rblends, initial sblends (separate mats for sp, st, sm, sn, sk, sl, sw, mixed), final sblends

☞ Pre-vocalic r, or, er, ar, air, ear, ire, rblends

Don't see a sound you need? I included a blank page to use with any speech/language target.

I also included a guide that can be used as a coloring page too! Table of contents/page guide included to make finding the page you need easy!

→ Assembly:

None! Print & go!

➞ To use: Print out a bug jar page for every student in the group (page 5). Print out the bug page with the target sound needed for each student.

I have the students color the jar first so that they are ready to build collect their bugs (or you can have them color it in between turns to keep their hands busy). The student will color and practice each target word on the bugs. The student will cut out the bugs and practice the words again. The student will glue the bugs in the jar and practice the word one more time!
