Grab a beach ball from the dollar bins at Target and make a therapy tool! I grabbed 3 and made one for literacy group! I kept the others to make throughout the school year. My literacy ball has phonological awareness skills in each color. The kids toss the ball in a circle. When they catch it they complete the action under their right hand.
I also created this beach ball to work on expressive language and syntax. I found this one in the summer section at Target. On each small circle I wrote a word. The students catch the ball and then use the two words under their hands to create a sentence.
Head over to the summer clearance and grab some beach balls to use in therapy this year!
I have a beach ball in my room that has various WH questions on it...I use it all the time for speech and language groups! It is probably my most requested activity! I love your idea of putting two words together to make a sentence!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! Great for articulation too!! Thanks for such a great blog!!
ReplyDeleteI have one with WH words on each section (Who, What, Where, etc). I love the variations you came up with! I have 2 extra beach balls in my drawer at school, can't wait to try out these ideas!
