Enjoy and be on the lookout for more speech sound Bingo activities!

Things That Go/ Transportation and FREEBIE

This post is for preschoolers/lower elementary students working on the category: Transportation!
Make sure you Check your local Dollar Tree!  The one on our side of town has LOTS of teacher/ educational resources. I like to get their foam stickers. They even have them broken into category or theme!

My young kids are working on categories. I figured I'd use my foam stickers and book(s) about things that go. For my preschoolers- Go Dog Go (By Dr. Seuss) book as it talks about and shows ways to get from here to there!
 
 
 
 

We went through the book talked about the types of things that go: bikes, cars, skates, skiis, etc.

We then went through my foam stickers and identified and labeled each piece.

Next week, we will go through newspapers, magazines, etc with the category sort worksheet. You can find the freebie worksheet HERE:

Classroom layout

Although I am contracted to serve kids at an elementary school, I thought that it would be important [to me] to be able to make it 'my space'. Also, we've been paying storage to house my belongings. I love working at a school!

You'll see pics of the room I have this year and what I have done with it. Some things are not pictured because they are at home.

Froggy's First Kiss Articulation and Language Packet

Hello Speechies!

Valentine's Day is around the corner! In honor of this special day, I have created an articulation and language (wh- questions and categories) packet based off of the book Froggy's First Kiss!

 
The picture above is what I have used for a few years. I have re created and added activities.The coin toss frog printable is from education.com. You can look at that one for yourself. I have recreated one for a Valentine theme.

 Included in the 10 page packet are:

-Articulation Word List from book
-Wh- Questions from book (who, what, where, how, why)
-Kiss Toss Game with frog and kisses/lips
- Bingo/ Dauber Board Game
-Categories Ladder Game


Not the best picture- But these are the games that go with the packet. On the left is the Bingo/ Dauber Game. I love Chipper Chat, so I try to find ways to extend the use out of my wand and chips. You can buy just the wand and chips separately, or if you do not have Chipper Chat, use a Bingo Dauber/Stamper (the Dollar Tree sells them), or put a sticker in each circle.

In the middle is the new frog toss game. I have included the kisses that you can laminate and cut out. I am still using the same one from almost 4 years ago. I taped them to poker chips so that they could be heavy enough to throw into Froggy's mouth. I taped Froggy to a file folder with enough space so that the kisses can fly inside.

To the right is a categories ladder game. All you'll need is a dice or a spinner with numbers (if you have board games, you could one of those for this- no need of spending extra money). Follow the arrows once you roll the dice and answer the questions related to categories. The first person who finishes wins!

You can find this packet at my Teachers Pay Teachers store by clicking below:

For those of you who are new to Teachers Pay Teachers, it is of no cost to join. You can find A LOT of freebies there! I have a bunch of stuff from this site for speech therapy.

Thanks,

Marissa
