Best Back to School Speech Therapy Activities Ever!

I need some fresh speech therapy activities to capture my student’s excitement!

So I’ve been looking to find the best back to school speech therapy activities for the job!

Who doesn’t love something shiny and new for back to school? In addition to that cute new outfit, I want to knock my student’s socks off with speech therapy activities that are super fun and engaging. So, I have been busy creating a few and shopping for more of the best activities to add to my wishlist.
The first place I head (okay, after the Target bargain aisle) is to TPT. The problem is, there are tons of great activities and stores, and it can be time-consuming to sift through it all. No worries! I’m going to save you some time and show you what I’ve found. But this will make it even sweeter:

A speech and language favorite

3 colorful bingo boards with a back to school theme. The calling cards have rhyming riddle clues for children to guess!

I have had requests for more Bingo Riddles games, so I created this one with a fun school theme.

Back to School Bingo Riddles
My best-selling Bingo Riddles packs combine fun rhyming riddles with a favorite game. (You should hear me walk around the house talking to myself, as I make up new riddles. Hubby thinks I’m a bit crazy anyway!) You’ll target vocabulary, inference, listening comprehension, and rhyme.
I love using it for push-in activities or large groups (plenty for everybody with 30 boards) as well as my small groups.

A sweet comment on one of my Bingo Riddles games:

“This is the 2nd year that I have used these, and I had to write a review…because I love it so much. I have used it with preschoolers, 6th graders, and all of the grades in between. All of the clues are clever and witty and fun and appropriate. I just can’t rate this high enough.”
