June Early Intervention Speech Activities You Can Do At Home
Three activity ideas you can do with your toddler to boost their speech and language skills.
1: Pointing to Body Parts
Where’s Your…
Help your child learn body parts and follow directions at the same time.
Can your child point to their head, toes, nose, tongue, and ears?
What other body parts do they know?
Challenge: Can they find these body parts on you or a toy?
2: Bubbles!
Bubbles are one of the most popular toys used in early speech therapy.
Why?
Most kids love bubbles so it makes learning fun.
Playing with bubbles is great for teaching vocabulary like blow, up, wet, and more.
Popping bubbles over and over is also naturally repetitive.
You can practice these words again and again.
3: Vocabulary
There is a lot of language ”packed” into this simple activity.
Use this picture to practice
clothing vocabulary (shirt, shorts, swimsuit, shoes, dress, hat, sandals).
pronouns (we, our, it, mine, my)
possessive -s (mom’s _____)
sorting (his/hers)
Where do you think they might be going?
Extend the activity. Have you been on a trip? Talk about it.
