May Preschool Speech Activities You Can Do At Home
Three activity ideas you can do with your preschooler to boost their speech and language skills.
1: Show and Tell
Show and Tell is great for practicing oral language and asking/answering questions.
Read about what this child brought for show and tell in the top picture.
Then, look below to practice asking/answering questions.
Challenge: Can your child think of any other questions they would ask?
2: Size
Let’s practice learning about size.
This comparison activity is working on adding ends, like –er, to change the meaning of a word.
small + er = smaller
putting er at the end adds meaning to the word.
Challenge: Can you think of other words we add er to?
3: Main Idea and Making Sentences
Talk about the main idea of these pictures,
“Look, they are playing with trains.”
Read the verbs aloud. Point to a picture and pause.
Can your child make up a sentence about what is happening?
Did they use verb that was given?
If they need help model a sentence for them.
For example, “The boy is building,” or “They are sharing.”
