Fun Speech Activities You Can Do at Home

Speech therapy doesn't stop when the session ends. Here are some fun, easy activities you can do at home to support your child's speech and language development.

Reading Together

Reading books with your child is one of the most powerful ways to support language development. Ask questions about the story, point out new vocabulary, and let your child retell the story in their own words.

Narrate Your Day

Talk about what you're doing as you go through daily routines. "Now I'm cutting the apple. The apple is red and crunchy!" This helps build vocabulary and understanding of sentence structure.

Play Sound Games

Games like "I Spy" can help with sound awareness. "I spy something that starts with the 'b' sound!" You can also play rhyming games during car rides or bath time.

Sing Songs Together

Songs with repetitive lyrics and actions help children practice sounds and words in a fun, low-pressure way. Nursery rhymes are especially helpful for younger children.

Remember, the goal is to make communication fun and natural. If you have questions about specific activities for your child, our therapists are always happy to provide personalized recommendations.
