Are you wondering what speech and language activities you can do for St. Patrick’s Day in your therapy sessions? I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite activities to do for St. Patrick’s Day. Keep reading to see what speech and language activities you can incorporate during this holiday!
What speech and language activities can you do for St. Patrick’s Day?
There are many different activities that you can do in your sessions. Here are some of my favorites to incorporate based around St. Patrick’s Day:
- Coloring Activities
- Books
- Language Scenes
- Sensory Bin
Many of my kids love coloring in their sessions and I love incorporating coloring worksheets because you can target many different goals this way. You can have each kid hit their targets before giving them the crayons that they want to color some of the picture. You can also use coloring pages to work on following directions or turn taking. If you need some free coloring pictures, you can search on Google for “St. Patrick’s Day Coloring Pictures” or look on Crayola’s website for some.
Books are tried and true in my therapy sessions. I can use them in mixed groups to target articulation, WH- questions, inferencing, and more. Plus, there are many different St. Patrick’s Day books that will keep the kids engaged during your sessions. Some of my favorite include How to Catch a Leprechaun, The Night Before St. Patrick’s Day, and There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Clover! You don’t even have to own these books either because you can pull most of them up on YouTube!
I love incorporating language scenes into my therapy sessions. You can use them to work on describing, vocabulary, WH- questions, articulation, following directions, and more! You can easily create your own by coloring a St. Patrick’s Day picture or searching for them online, too.
Another fun activity that you can do during St. Patrick’s Day is to create a sensory bin. You can buy the bins online or buy them at a discounted price at a Dollar Store near you. You can place green pom poms into the bin along with some gold coins then throw in any other items you need to target during your session whether it is vocabulary cards or articulation cards.
Do you need some easily accessible St. Patrick’s Day materials?
