Engaging Speech Therapy Activity:
Dabber Sheet Magic!
Are you looking for a fun and engaging speech therapy activity that requires minimal preparation? Look no further! Our Dabber Sheet Magic is the perfect solution to make speech therapy sessions enjoyable and effective for children.
What You'll Need:
Dabber sheet (downloadable from our website)
White crayon
Stickers
Timer
Instructions:
Preparation: Print out the Dabber sheet from our website. Take a white crayon and color a few select images on the sheet. These will be the "magic" images for the activity.
Speech Practice: Sit with the child and choose a target word. Have them say the word ten times (or adjust repetitions based on preference or need).
Dabbing Time: Once the speech practice is done, give the child a dabber and let them dab 3-5 circles on the Dabber sheet. If they dab the magic image (colored with the white crayon), they get a special reward - a 30-second break!
Sticker Fun: After the dabbing session, provide the child with a blank sheet of paper and some stickers. Set the timer and let them put as many stickers on their paper as they can before the timer chimes. This adds an extra element of fun and motivation.
Optional Rewards: This activity can be paired with any other reward or activity of the child's choosing. Whether it's a favorite game, a small treat, or extra playtime, let them pick their reward to keep them engaged and motivated.
Why It Works:
Engagement: The combination of dabbing, finding the magic image, and sticker fun keeps children engaged throughout the activity.
Speech Practice: By incorporating speech practice into the activity, children get valuable practice while having fun.
Reward System: The special reward for finding the magic image adds an element of excitement and motivation to the activity.
Conclusion: Our Dabber Sheet Magic activity is a simple yet effective way to make speech therapy sessions enjoyable and engaging for children. With minimal preparation required, it's easy to implement and can be customized to suit individual needs and preferences. Try it out in your next session and watch as your young learners have a blast while improving their speech skills!
