November 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: Multisyllable Words
Clapping syllables is an early reading skill. Begin the activity by going through and naming all the foods. Then, you choose an animal or two to use as an example. Slowly say each word breaking it into syllables, “ham-bur-ger.” Can your child clap the syllables for the rest of the words? If this is too hard, skip ahead to the answers on the next page. These pictures are already sorted by syllable.
2: Shapes
Foods. A simple page, but there is a lot you can target. Practice pointing to or naming foods. Follow directions to find the foods based on their color. Expand this page: What foods do they like? Can they name more foods?
3: Adjectives
Is it shiny? A page with vocabulary, adjective, and yes/no questions all in one. Can your child name these pictures? Do they know the adjective shiny? If not, which look for things around your house that are shiny to teach them? Think of more adjectives they can learn.
