Restaurant

 Playing Restaurant or Cafe is a great way to play during COVID. While we are stuck at home and indoors,  you and your children can make a Cafe or Restaurant. 

You can have your child make a menu.

Have your child make food with play food or empty store-bought items.

Your child can take turns being the waitress, customer, chef.

The possibilities are endless!

Have fun!

Association Match Ups!

 

You can use these mats as a fun way to improve vocabulary in the classroom as a center or as a simple and fun activity in Speech Therapy!
Print, Laminate and cut only cut apart pages 3 and 9 leave the other pages as mats! If you have time (and energy!), you can use velcro too!
Use the mats for a center activity and put all of the pieces (pages 3 & 9) in the middle of the table.
Have the students choose the correct pieces for their mats and explain why they go together. For some of the questions there is more than one correct answer- accept any answer as long as they can properly justify it.
**There is 1 picture that includes a Canadian twenty dollar bill, Canadian quarter and penny. Although they are the Canadian version, they are still applicable for Americans as the bill is green. :)

Play-doh mats for Expressive Language!!

Recently I've started working with some kids at a school who have severely delayed expressive language skills. I had to go on the hunt to get some fun and motivating activities. I haven't used play-doh much in speech so I thought it might be a good fit since my kids are about 4 years old.

 

Instead of just using these mats the way they were designed, I threw in my own twist. I would explain the item and then the child has to find it and cover it up with play-doh after they say the word. With the kids who were more advanced, I got them to say I found the _ _ _. Using the mats this way is also great for receptive language! These Playdough mats are by Primary Punch! Thank you Primary Punch for making them FREE! You Rock!

Cheers,
