Description
This activity was designed to be a no prep activity to target articulation and language in an engaging way. It is an activity that keeps students busy during practice!
This download contains following sounds: initial/final: p, b, m; final: n, t, d; initial/medial/final: k, g, f, v, l, s, z, ch, j, th, sh; pre-vocalic r; vocalic r (er, ar, or, air, ear, ire); rblends; lblends; sblends (separate mats for sp, st, sm, sn, sk, sl, sw, mixed). Language targets included: categories, association, object functions, compare/contrast, winter/Christmas vocabulary, actions, positional vocabulary, plurals, idioms, multiple meaning words, adjectives, and antonyms/synonyms. I also included open-ended pages. First practice, then make a Santa face.
*Please note: There are 14 target words on each artic page (2-3 of each, totaling 32 words).
Materials Needed: Small cotton balls, glue, and a Ho Ho Ho! Articulation sheet
(use the small, light cotton balls: the cheaper the better!)
Assembly: None! Print & go!
Tips: If you can, print on card stock to make it less flimsy (I use paper when I am using it with all of my groups). Tear apart the small cotton balls to make it less heavy (this can also keep hands busy in between turns).
To use:
Articulation pages: The student will practice the target word and then glue a cotton ball over it. Continue until the Santa face is complete (therapist will determine the number of trials per word). You can have the students fill in the beard/hat with extra cotton balls if desired. The word/picture list on the bottom is to encourage caregivers to practice the words at home.
Language Pages: These pages are more open-ended, the targets to practice are on the bottom of the page. Use at your discretion. The student can practice a skill then put on 2-3 cotton balls until the ghost is complete.
Variations:
- Use bingo chips to cover up the pictures as a drill mat
- Use torn up tissue paper to create the Santa face
- Use paint, crayons, or markers
