Looking for a cheap, easy to use therapy material? How about paper bags? I love using paper bags for a variety of activities. Here are some simple ways I have incorporated paper bags into my therapy sessions. 1. Puppets My students love to use puppets to "eat" their articulation cards or other target cards. They also love to use them to tell stories. Making puppets from paper bags is a great, inexpensive way to engage your students in a variety of activities! You can easily make a puppet to match any book or story that you are using. Be creative- your kids will love it! I made these monster puppets with my son this week. They were so easy to make! We used a little paint, glue, and card stock with our paper bags. I found the idea for these cute monsters from this pin: Paper Bag Monster Puppets 2. Describe It To Me This activity is also super easy. I throw a bunch of items into a bag. My students reach in and grab something (no peeking!) to describe. The students remove the object and then describe it using a variety of descriptors. This is a great way to incorporate your Expanding Expression Tool (EET) with describing real objects. Sometimes I will even get really small, cheap objects that the students can keep if they give me a description using all of the beads on the EET. 3. What is in the bag? This is a great activity to work on a student's deductive reasoning skills. I put an object into the bag (students do not see- again, no peeking). Students need to ask questions about my object. This is similar to the game Headbanz. 4. Categories Place pictures of categories on the bag and collect items or pictures to place in each category. I used pictures from my Category Sorting activity. I like to put a piece of Velcro on each bag so that I can interchange the categories without having to get a new bag each time. 5. Collect in a bag Put any kind of card into the bag. My students love to decorate a bag and then collect their cards. 6. Paper bag books You can use two paper bags to make a book that will have two pockets. Simply fold two bags in half and then put the two openings touching each other to make two pockets for a book. Staple together, and done! You have a paper bag book that you can use to target a variety of goals. I used this one to put some of my new sequencing cards in for a student to take home. I have also made these Articulation Paper Bag Books. These are so fun to make with students and send home! Here is a link to a freebie that contains blank frames to use on your paper bags, as well as labels for What is in the bag? and Describe It To Me. Have fun using your paper bags!

Is it hard to keep your students engaged while they practice? I have found that by using games and activities my students enjoy therapist directed drill play. It can be a lot of fun and the therapist can obtain 100 trials of the targeted sound or process. I have found that their are so many commercial games and activities available that easily lend themselves to therapist directed drill play. For all of these games and activities I like to select 3-5 pictures that will be targeted during the session. The number I select depends on how often the student needs to engage in play and stay motivated. Yeti In My Spaghetti : Every time my students practice their pictures I give them a piece of spaghetti to place over the bowl. When the game is assembled we play the game. Kerplunk: As my students practice they put a stick through the tube. When all the sticks are in we practice the pictures as we add the marbles to the tube. When it is all ready we have fun playing the game. Mr Potato Head: I set up a variety of parts that the student can select. We practice the pictures and them add a part to the potato. After a few potatoes are assembled we play with them. 100 Trial sheets: I like to use crayons, markers and stamps with 100 trials sheets. The child marks a picture after each production. This freebie includes six Spring 100 trials articulation sheets and 2 data collections sheet. The data collection sheets can be used with any of these activities. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THIS FREEBIE Progress monitor your entire group easily Legos: I like to have my students practice their pictures and then I give them 2-3 legos to put together. They build and practice at the same time. Ned's Head: I put multiple copies of the students pictures inside the head. I place a sticker on one of the cards. We take turns pulling a card out of Ned's Head. The student who finds the card with the sticker shouts "I win!" This game is quick and can be played multiple times. Cariboo: I cover the original cards with Holiday or a theme. After each child practices their targeted words they open one box. It they find the ball they get to put it in the treasure chest. We play until the treasure box opens. Chipper Chat: Practice the pictures and them put a chip on the card. When the card is full use the magic wand to clean up the card. Take time to play with the chips and magnets at the end. Jenga: The students practice their pictures and then place a Jenga block on the tower. When the tower is built we play the game. Fishing game: I like to have my students say their words and them put a fish in the "pond". When the game is complete we play it. I have also created a game companion that can also be used. The students practice again as they place them in the fishing net. Articulation Game Companion Connect Four: Each time a student puts a chip in the frame they say their pictures. We play until their is a winner. Using these games in therapist directed drill play is a fun and easy way to get your students to practice 100 articulation targets in a therapy session. If you are struggling to keep your students engaged think about trying some of these games. I hope your students enjoy them as much as my students do. Click here to follow my tpt store, Speech Gems.
