It's almost Earth Day! Thursday April 22 is the day the world celebrates, but I have been doing these activities all week long! I love decorating my speech room with these beautiful globes. Greens and blues are such pretty spring time colors. I wanted to round up all of my favorite activities to use to celebrate our big, beautiful planet. If you have any great activity ideas, please share!
I have been sharing the story,
Earth Yay! with my students all week. It's such an adorable, animated story about the planets and why our Earth is so special.
You can access this story from Vooks. I'm sure you have seen me mention them before, but if not, they're a website/app that brings stories to life! I have been using this site for a long time, but ever since teletherapy became a regular occurring event, I use it all the time now. My students in person and online enjoy using Vooks.
You can get a free 30 day membership to Vooks by clicking here.
If you know me, you know I love a theme! So what's a holiday without a matching ART-tiulation worksheet? This has also been a hit with my teletherapy students. Pull up and share the PDF with your student. Then, choose the annotate feature and let them color in the picture as they practice their sounds.
I put my Earth Day ART-ticulation 50% off this week. Click here to grab a copy!
It doesn't have to be Earth Day to talk about keeping our planet clean. This garbage truck and tiny garbage & recycling bins are always a popular toy in my therapy room. We use it all the time to "clean up" speech words and engage in pretend play.
Last but not least, a FREE download for you.
Quick themed reinforcement games are a favorite over here. I always get lots of repetitions and the kids have a lot of fun competing for the most points. I created a FREE Earth day game that you can snag here. (It's one that I created years ago and will probably get a makeover soon!)
I have a few more activities that I plan to do but haven't yet so I don't have pictures. But, they are all saved on my Pinterest board if you want to check that out. Have a great week, and Happy Earth Day!!
