29 Terrific FREE Valentine’s Day Speech Therapy Ideas for Teletherapy

A tablet and hearts with 29 Free Valentine's Day Speech Ideas for Teletherapy

Hugs! I’ve rounded up a list of free ideas and activities for you to use in your online speech therapy sessions this month as you get ready to celebrate Valentine’s day.

Books for Valentine’s Day speech therapy

Be sure to visit your library early, these will be checked out fast! If you can’t get your hands on a hard copy, I’ve linked read-alouds on YouTube. All links are working as of the time of posting, but please let me know if any of these links don’t work for you later.

 Hug Machine by Scott Campbell If you are working on final /g/, this book has plenty of those! You’ll talk about describing words, square, long, and soft. Who do you give hugs to? Great conversation starter.

Click, Clack, Moo I Love You by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin The animals throw a Valentine’s Day party in the barn. Will they invite Fox?

Love Monster and the Last Chocolate by Rachel Bright Will Love Monster share the box of chocolates he found? A sweet story about how it’s nice to share.

The Day it Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond Raining Hearts? How fun!

The Love Letter by Anika Aldamuy Denise Who wrote the love letter? Was it Hedgehog, Bunny or Squirrel? Great for vocabulary like feeling prickly, cheerful, and tumbling. Fun for prediction too.

Roses are Pink, Your Feet Really Stink! by Diane DeGroat is a fun story about how it’s better to be nice than mean! A great conversation starter about social skills and how to be a friend.

 Here Comes Valentine Cat by Deborah Underwood Cat is not too sure about his new neighbor, Dog. He’s going to make a valentine for Dog, but some of them may not be quite nice… A funny story about not judging others, and being a good friend. This one is fun for elementary, as the cat gets a bit… ornery!

Free Valentine’s Day online games for teletherapy

Online games can be fun in speech teletherapy if you can give kids control of the mouse. I like to give a turn at the game after every few trials and I look for games that don’t take up too much of your precious speech therapy time to play. Here are some winners for your Valentine’s Day speech therapy sessions:

Curious George Hearts and Crafts by PBS Kids is a simple puzzle game that would be fun as a motivational activity for PK and Kinders. Find the shape to complete each of four hearts.

Valentine’s Day Puzzle at ABCya The chocolates fell out of the Valentine candy box! Little ones will enjoy matching each chocolate to the right spot in the candy box.

Be My Valentine at Starfall.com is great for PK-2nd. Make a Valentine card, build your sentence with a connecting word (and, because), and send it. Watch as your Valentine gets delivered to the character you chose! Non-readers will need your help choosing sentence parts for the card.

Valentine Parts of Speech Valentine Jeopardy from Jeopardy Labs is fun for upper elementary. Find the verbs, nouns, adverbs, and adjectives in the Valentine-themed sentences! This jeopardy game can be used for understanding grammatical parts of speech, generating new sentences with the focus words, and practicing articulation at the reading or conversational levels.

Game Word Generator from Game Gal is super useful for elementary games. Use this any time of year to generate random words or choose “Holiday” for a list of Valentine’s Day words. Use them in:

  • Guess Me Describing Games Show the word to one student and have them give clues until the other students guess the item…but you can’t say the name of the item or you’re out!
  • Story chain You start the story using a word you generated. The next person adds a sentence or two to the story using the next word generated, and so on. Go ahead and jump in when needed to keep the story going! You’ll target sentence construction, narratives, and articulation.
  • Charades would be fun in front of the camera but set a time limit for each turn. Generate a word, then one student acts it out. Fun for conversational articulation or fluency practice.

Traditional in-person games can be fun virtually too

Simon Says: Get kids up and moving in front of the camera in your online groups, working on listening comprehension or articulation (if they are giving the directions). Make up a few Valentine’s day directions. Here are some to get you started:

  • Draw a heart on your arm with your finger.
  • Pretend to eat three chocolates.
  • Pretend to put a valentine in an envelope.
  • Put your hand on your heart.
  • Hug yourself.
  • Pretend to open a Valentine’s Day card.
  • Blow a kiss to someone.
  • Make a surprised face.

20 Questions: Hide an item (or pictured item) in a Valentine bag, box (or green screen pocket!) in front of the camera. Have students ask you questions to try and guess what it is. Great for question goals, sentence construction, describing, categories, and articulation too. A few ideas: teddy bear, cards, lollipop, candy heart, a red crayon, scissors.

Valentines’s Day jokes for speech therapy

Drop a few of these in each session this month and you’ll tickle their funny bone! Tell a joke, then explore the play on words… why is it funny?

What did the stamp say to the envelope on Valentine’s Day? I’m stuck on you! That’s just one cute joke you’ll find here at the Red Tricycle: 34 Hilariously Sweet Valentines Jokes for Kids.
