Mamma Mia!!! It's the Speecheria!!

Every year I love the pizza theme! All of the preschool and kindergartners are working on making pizzas. We are working on pizza vocabulary, colors, sequencing, and as reinforcement for articulation or fluency.

What you'll need: (ALL from the Dollar Tree)
-Construction paper. I had red (for sauce), brown (sausage), green (green peppers), white (onions), gray (mushrooms), yellow and orange (cheese), and black (olives)
-Paper plates (I have an abundance of these)
-Glue
-Maybe a sharpie/ black marker for labeling parts

You can use however you want. I first begin with a small book that I printed about pizza. (It's short and about 7 pages with short sentences.) You can then put the pizza together by identifying or naming items, then gluing them. For articulation, I drill a lot- so, after about 15-20 productions of the target sound, they can add pieces. We work on vocabulary by categories (meats: pepperoni, sausage, bacon, ham; veggies: peppers, mushrooms, olives, onions, tomatoes; dairy: cheese). You can also make them silly by discussing things that do not belong on a pizza (ie cow, car, etc.).




I also use this song video- (The one I loved was deleted from you tube, but this one was just fine).

For the older kids- 1st and 2nd graders, I have been using Dina Peters board game with associated ~27 questions. I have had it for a few years, and I love to use it.

For 3rd- 5th graders, I use: Go for the Dough board game.

 It targets:
  • 80 synonyms
  • 80 rhyming words
  • 80 opposites
  • 80 categories
  • 80 multiple meaning
  • 80 definitions
 You can find it at Super Duper.

What do you do for the pizza theme?
