Easter and Spring Speech Therapy Activities

Goals Addressed:

How To Play:

1. Place 0-3 jellybeans in each of the Easter eggs.
2. Set up the baskets, in a horizontal line, with 1-2 feet in between them.
3. Give each student a spoon and have the students line up next to the baskets.
4. Place all of the eggs into one big basket on the opposite side of the room.
5. On ‘go’, students walk as quickly as possible across the room to the big basket of eggs.  They must grab an egg and place it on their spoon.
6. Once their spoon is extended out in front of them, they must ‘walk quickly’ back to their basket and drop the egg in their own basket. If the egg falls off the spoon, they must go back to the beginning and start again.
7. Once all of the eggs are in the individual baskets, have the students bring their eggs to the table and sit down. **The entire race should only take 1-2 minutes out of therapy time**
8. Continue with the steps after the ‘Find The Jelly Beans’ section.

1. Give each student one of the two worksheets.
2. Have students take turns opening one of their eggs or taking the jellybeans out of their basket.
3. For each jellybean they take out, the students must complete a task. You can come up with the task such as, ‘say your word 5X’ or use the worksheet with Easter themed words to address language goals.  This open-ended worksheet can be used to describe, formulate sentences, define, categorize, etc.
4. If the student correctly completes the task, they get to place a jellybean on one of the eggs on the worksheet.  If not, it’s the next student’s turn.
5. Continue playing until someone fills their entire worksheet!
