Speech Activities for Home Practice

Have you ever had a parent tell you, “They won’t do their speech homework”? Are you wanting to provide fun and engaging speech therapy ideas for home practice, but struggle to find activities to send home? Do you want to help parents’ complete homework, but don’t have any sheets or handouts to give them?

As SLPs, we know how to use articulation cards with a variety of games to make speech practice fun… but this might not come naturally to parents and caregivers! From ideas such as hide n seek with articulation cards, to playing What’s Missing? dice throw and using a feely bag. The seasoned SLP might get a few new ideas to add to their repertoire too!

You have two varieties of handouts; one that contains 4 activities per page, and then 32 single-paged games (such as ‘memory’, ‘ hide n seek’, and ‘playing shopping’). Ideas for word, phrase, and sentence level are included.
2. HOME PRACTICE SHEETS & FORMS: Send home a variety of home practice planning sheets, therapy feedback forms, handouts, and home practice tracking sheets. Six of these sheets have been converted to single-page editable files so that you can email them to families to complete and send back.
