Articulation Ideas: Playtime for S-Clusters- Review and Giveaway

I can always count on having children with s-cluster goals in speech therapy.

Preschoolers and kindergarteners are cuddly, cute and very wiggly- they need hands-on activities! So I am ever on the lookout for fresh ideas and activities to keep those little ones engaged.

Enter S-Blend Playtime! Activities for S-Clusters, a new resource by Kim from Activity Tailor. What I love about this pack is that it is chock full of great ideas to get kids up, moving, digging, sliding, opening and exploring as they practice those s-blends.

S-Blend Playtime Activities includes creative ways to use stuffed animals, toy planes, miniatures, play dough, shaving cream, blocks, and stickers. You could easily fill up to 8 sessions per blend, which would carry you through at least 2 cycles with little to no planning and prep required! I love that.

Included are ideas for play activities, games, recipes (make some slime!) and tabletop activities for seven blends: SK, ST, SP, SL, SM, SN, and SW.  

For each blend, there is a printable tabletop activity, from coloring ice cream scoops (/sk/) to adding smiles on fun faces (/sm/). There is a listening list for auditory bombardment in therapy, 6 play activities, a movement activity and a send-home parent note with instructions and pacing boards with a list for parents to read, and pictures for children to name.

The play activities use items you probably already have in your therapy room, cutting down on expenses. I don’t know about you, but materials usually come out of my own pocket, so that really helps!

I think one of my favorite ideas is making scary/ not scary boxes. 

Most of my preschoolers are fascinated by anything a bit creepy. I happen to have scorpions, snakes. beetles and spiders in my bug collection- perfect! Maybe a skeleton would work also, hmm.

I think I need to make some slime too. Slippery slime slides slowly. Oooh, this will be fun!

These activities would fit right in with my intensive preschool program.

I do centers and hands-on activities for my littles to fill two-hour sessions. Read more about this service delivery model and what’s included here:  Intensive Service Delivery Model for Preschool Speech Therapy.
