g to play with the squirt water bottle. You can find the Firefighter Articulation Activity here.
Cut the flame cards apart and double laminate for extra protection against the water. Then put them in a bin and give the students a squirt bottle to put out the flame. I like to do this one outside!
I also love this Articulation Cookies Activity, which pairs well with Laura Numeroff's "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie." But the activity can easily stand alone as well. You'll need a cookie sheet and a spatula for this one.
I have the students say the words as they put the cookies on their cookie sheet. I have also used a cookie jar. I put all the cards in the cookie jar and have the students say the words as they pull them out.
Let your students become paleontologists with the Diggin' Up Dinosaur Bones Activity - which you can find here.
Once again, simply cut apart and laminate the cards. Hide them in a sand bin and have the students find them using shovels, sand rakes, etc. They can practice saying the words on their card and seeing who can find the most dinosaurs.
During the winter months, I like to use my Mitten Search Interactive Articulation Activity. It pairs very well with "The Mitten." Hide the mitten cards in a bin filled with cotton balls. The students then find the mittens and label the words on them.
Jenna Rayburn, from Speech Room News, also created an awesome interactive articulation activity centered around gardening.
Put the vegetable cards in a bin filled with beans and watch the students "pick" the vegetables. You can find this activity here.
The Shamrock Search Game is great to use around St. Patrick's Day and pairs well with the book "There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Clover."
Simply cut out and laminate the shamrock cards and place them in a bin with green Easter grass. The students search for the shamrock cards and label the items on the cards. You can find this activity here.
Right after St. Patrick's Day, I can swap my shamrocks for Easter eggs by using The Speech Attic's interactive Easter Egg Hunt.
I keep the Easter grass and hide the eggs inside. My students find the eggs and label the pictures on them. You can find the activity here.
Articulation Bugs is another fun springtime activity.
I place all the "bug" cards on the table and have the students "swat" them with a fly swatter. They must say the word on each bug before they can swat it.
I have also hidden the bugs in Easter grass. The students search for the bugs, say the target word, and add it to their bug catcher. You can find the activity here.
During our pirates unit, we play Pirates Treasure Hunt Articulation.
Hide the "coins" in a sand bin and have the students search them out. They need to say the word on the coin and then they can add it their treasure chest.
As the school year draws to an end, I love to bring out Jenna Rayburn's, from Speech Room News, Beach Hunt game.
For this game, you hide shell & crab cards in a sand bin. The students then find the cards in the sand and label the pictures on them. You can find the Beach Hunt game here.
I hope you find a few resources you can use with your kiddos! And I hope you see the same success with them as I have with my students!
