IT IS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR 🎄🎅🏻

Christmas provides a festive, engaging backdrop for speech- and language stimulation, offering natural opportunities to target goals like vocabulary (decorating, baking), articulation (using holiday words like 'star', 'sleigh'), following directions (decorating a tree), sequencing (Christmas dinner), and emotional regulation (managing overwhelm with emotion words like 'cozy' or 'tired') through themed crafts, songs, games (like holiday charades or memory games), and routines.

Use activities like baking cookies, decorating trees, reading holiday books, or using movie clips (like Elf) to build language and communication skills.

Try these fun filled activities:
Activity Ideas for Speech & Language Goals
🎄Vocabulary: Decorate a tree/cookies, describe items in a "feely bag," or use Christmas movie clips to build descriptive words (adjectives, verbs).
🎄Articulation: Find objects/pictures with target sounds (e.g., 's' blends in snow, sleigh) while looking at lights or decorating.
🎄Auditory Memory: Play "I went to the shop and bought a..." with Christmas items, or "feed Santa" with specific food items in order.
Following Directions: Give multi-step directions for crafts or placing ornaments.
🎄Emotional Regulation: Teach and model emotion words (happy, tired, overwhelmed) and use communication boards to help kids express needs during busy events.
Festive Resources
🎄Crafts: Make ornament crafts or decorate Santa's beard with cotton balls to target sounds and vocabulary.
🎄Songs: Sing holiday songs and pause for fill-in-the-blanks to encourage language.
🎄Games: Use Christmas bingo, charades (acting out holiday themes), or "What Am I?" guessing games.
🎄Building Language Into Routines
Baking: Use action verbs (mix, roll, cut) and colors/shapes.
🎄Calendar: Create a visual schedule to prepare for exciting, disruptive holiday plans.
🎄”Feely Bag": Fill a bag with Christmas items (bells, tinsel) and have kids describe or guess what they're touching.
🎄”I'm Going to a Christmas Party" Memory Game: A classic memory game using holiday foods or items (e.g., "I'm bringing turkey, a star, and a bell!").
🎄Gift Wrapping/Opening: Practice requesting ("Can I have the tape?") and turn-taking.
Christmas Carols: Sing songs to learn new words and improve pronunciation.
🎄Conversation Starters: Use prompts like "If Santa's suit wasn't red, what color would it be?".
For Language Learners (ESL/EFL)
🎄Christmas Pictionary/Charades: Act out holiday words for others to guess.
🎄Christmas Bingo: Create Bingo cards with holiday words or pictures.
🎄Writing Prompts: Write letters to Santa, create holiday postcards, or write stories about Christmas traditions.
🎄ABC Christmas: List Christmas words for each letter (A is for Angel, B is for Bells).
🎄Christmas Traditions Discussion: Talk about how Christmas is celebrated in different countries or by different families.
