Are you wondering what speech and language activities you can do for Easter in your therapy sessions? I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite activities to do for Easter below. Keep reading to see what speech and language activities you can incorporate during this holiday!
What speech and language activities can you do for Easter?
There are many different activities that you can do in your sessions for Easter! Here are some of my favorites to incorporate:
- Coloring Pages
- Books
- Sensory Bin
- Easter Egg Decorating
I love incorporating coloring pages into my therapy sessions because not only do my kids love doing them, but you can target many different goals this way. What I do in my sessions is have each kid hit their target 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 “Easter Coloring Pictures” or look on Crayola’s website for some.
I will always be a fan of using books in my therapy sessions because I can use them in mixed groups. It’s easy to use them to target articulation, WH- questions, inferencing, and more. There are a wide variety of Easter books that will keep the kids engaged during your session, too. Some of my favorite include How to Catch the Easter Bunny, The Night Before Easter, and There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick! The best part is that you don’t even have to own these books because you can pull most of them up on YouTube!
Another fun activity that you can do during Easter is to create a sensory bin. The sensory bins can be bought online or at a discounted price at a Dollar Store near you. You can place pastel colored pom poms into the bin along with some plastic easter eggs then throw in any other items you need to target during your session whether it is vocabulary cards or articulation cards. You can even put candy or other targets inside the eggs for the kids to open.
If you want to have even more fun with an arts and crafts activity, you can buy these blank Easter eggs and have your kids decorate them with markers, stickers, or glitter. You can work on whatever goals before allowing your kids to decorate some of the egg.
Do you need some easily accessible Easter materials?
