I am so excited for the first post of my new series, ‘Common Objects for Uncommon Speech Therapy’! To read about this new series, click here. I hope you and your students enjoy these pencil activities as much as we did! All you need for each of these activities are pencils, picture cards or task cards and the free download provided by me!
Activity #1 – The Dot ‘Pencil’ Game
Ages: Any
Materials: Pencils & Picture or Task Cards
Goals Addressed: Any
Set Up: Place cards evenly spaced on a large table or the floor. Place pencils in between each card, so that they are all connected. See pictures.
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).
Once all cards are uncovered and all tasks are completed, the student with the most cards wins!
Activity #2 – Spin A Pencil
Materials: Pencils & picture/task cards that have matching pairs
Goals Addressed: Any
Set Up: Place one card from each match in a large circle and place a pencil in the middle. Pass out the remaining matches to each student and have them place the cards in front of them facing up.
Activity #3 – Find The Pencils
Ages: Any
Materials: Pencils, Articulation Word List (free), Free Printable
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.
I hope you enjoyed the first post of the series Common Objects for Uncommon Speech Therapy! Just a reminder that you can also participate in this series by suggesting materials for me to use. Just leave a comment with your suggestion!
