This is a great activity for Thanksgiving day with the kids OR as a post-Thanksgiving speech therapy activity.
For your kids: I give the kiddos this Bingo game, and they are outta my hair while I frantically fish giblets out of the turkey and burn pies. I print out the boards, cut one up to use as the pictures that are called, give the kids a handful of candy corn and have them play until they run out of their handful or throw up, whichever comes first. I've learned that giving just a handful usually prevents this and corn is in the veggie food group anyways. They take turns choosing pictures and being the "bingo caller" and the candy corn are used as the Bingo chips.
For speech therapy: its a great way to target various needs:
- Articulation: students generate a sentence for the picture that is chosen before they put a "chip" on it, making sure they are producing the "target sound" correctly. Also great for the goal of production of 2-4 syllable words, or CVC/CVCV/CVCVC words.
- Langauge: Use bingo pictures for sentence formulation, including targeting verb forms, subject-verb agreement, using conjunctions, pronouns, etc. Also perfect for vocabulary.
- Pragmatics (Social Language): Students can practice asking each other questions, answering by using the Bingo item chosen when its their turn (e.g., when a student chooses "stuffing", they have to ask another student a question, such as "Did you eat stuffing at Thanksgiving?" or "Do you like pumpkin pie?")
Happy Thanksgiving!
