Zoo Animals Speech Language Lesson Plan + FREEBIES
One of our themes that we LOVE is our zoo animals theme. It doesn’t get enough love throughout the year because we tend to focus on holidays, seasons, and popular classroom themes, however, zoo animals is great for so many reasons. I (Allyssa) just recently created a “safari” activity for a student targeting three syllable words. She had a blast because (like me) she loves Disney and Animal Kingdom and had just been on the safari. I took that activity and ran with it and now she is KILLING the three syllable words. We used “safari”, “elephant”, “gorilla”, “antelope”, and more. It was so cute and fun. These ideas expand that safari theme into a general zoo animal theme and we hope you love it as much as we do!
These articulation sheets are NO PREP, easy, and quick ways to elicit so many trials in a session or as a home carryover program. The downloads include ALL speech sounds in the initial and final positions.
This is one of our favorite products that we make. We recommend it for a variety of ages, a variety of groups, and for a variety of purposes. You can use these worksheets as a warm up, a main activity, a carryover activity, or a homework activity. Each speech sound has NINE pages of activities.
These following directions activities are great for students working on receptive language concepts but can also be used for a variety of other goals. There is a teacher sheet included with suggested ideas OR it can be used as an open-ended activity.
