Speech Therapy Fun: Pencil 'Lead' Therapy
Activity #1 – The Dot ‘Pencil’ Game
Ages: Any
Materials: Pencils & Picture or Task Cards

How To Play: Have students take turns taking one pencil off at a time. Continue to have students take a pencil until one card is completely ‘uncovered’ or untouched by a pencil.  The student who ‘uncovers’ one of the cards first has to either say that word 5 times (for articulation goals) or complete the task on the card (for language goals).
Speech Therapy Fun: Pencil 'Lead' TherapyIf they correctly complete their task, they get to keep the card.  If not, the next student gets to try. Whoever correctly completes the task first, gets to keep the card.  The students can continue taking pencils until another card is ‘uncovered’.

Speech Therapy Fun: Pencil 'Lead' TherapyActivity #3 – Find The Pencils

Ages: Any
Goals Addressed: Articulation
Set Up: Write the numbers 1-6 on the erasers of the pencils. For a group of 3 students, I had four pencils for each number.  I also threw in three pencils with the number 10 to make it more difficult.
Speech Therapy Fun: Pencil 'Lead' TherapyHow To Play: Give each student their own copy of the Pencil Game worksheet.  Place all of the pencils on the table with the erasers facing you, so that the students can’t see the numbers.  Have your students take turns each pulling one pencil. When the students pick a pencil, they have to say their sound/word/etc. the amount of times as stated on the pencil.  Once they correctly say their words, the student gets to keep the pencil and place it on their worksheet.  If that pencil number is already covered, they have to put the pencil back in the pile.  Have students continue to take turns until one student fills up their entire worksheet to win the game!
