April Kindergarten Speech Activities You Can Do At Home
Three activity ideas you can do with your kindergartener to boost their speech and language skills.
1: Rhyming
Rhyming is an early literacy skill. In this Picture, kids name two words that rhyme then find another rhyming word given four choices.
Challenge: see if your child can come up with more rhyming words on their own (fly, pie, tie, bye).
2: Categories
Categories are often used when defining words.
For example, “A truck is a kind of vehicle.
Knowing what category a word belongs to also helps us remember it.
Extend this activity by asking your child if they can name something else that would belong in that category, such as, “Name another fruit.”
3: Giving Directions
How do you water the plants?
Can your child give you directions to complete familiar routines?
Organizing thoughts on how something is done can be difficult for kids.
Use these pictures to help talk through the steps together.
Tip: Include transition words like, first, then, and next.
