July 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: Building Background Knowledge
Our Camping Trip. Practice answering questions and finding objects based on their description/function. Develop background knowledge (for reading skills) by talking about a time you went camping, read about it in a book, or watched it on TV. Challenge: have a campout in your yard or living room.
2: Matching
Find 5. Language: Use these pictures to teach plurals, or the basic concept of more than one. Matching: Can they find and point to the two that match? Speech: Is your child adding the –s and the end of words to show they understand more than one of something? This page can also be used to practice l blends in words.
3: Identifying Opposites
Match the Opposites. Learning opposites helps to develop vocabulary, basic concepts, and describing skills. The pictures on this page help give your child clues to the meaning of the words. If they don’t know the word “closed,” they might figure out it’s the opposite of “open” based on the door. Looking for clues in pictures is a great tool for reading comprehension (understanding). top/bottom, all/none, open/closed, hard/soft, fast/slow
