7 Fall Speech Therapy Activities That Kids Will Love

You’ve made it through the first few weeks of therapy. Now what? Don’t worry! I’ve got you covered with some easy, LITTLE to NO PREP fall speech therapy ideas that your students will LOVE!

1. Fall Books. Books are one of my favorite therapy tools. You can use them over several weeks to target a wide variety of goals including articulation, predicting, inferencing, sequencing, story retell, describing, sentence formulation and expansion, and so much more!

We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger
There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves by Lucille Colandro
Fletcher and the Falling Leaves by Julia Rawlinson
The Leaf Thief by Alice Hemming
Apples by Gail Gibbons
Amelia Bedelia’s First Apple Pie by Herman Parish
Apple Picking Day by Candice Ransom
Don’t Throw It to Mo by David A. Adler
Hiking Day by Anne Rockwell

Download your free Fall Interactive Book here. You can use it to target positional concepts and 1-2 step directions. Or, expand the activity by using the pictures to work on answering wh-questions (who, what doing, what, where), formulating sentences, describing objects, comparing and contrasting, and core vocabulary.

2. Fall Cooking Activities. My students absolutely LOVE cooking activities. This is such a fun way to incorporate functional skills into your therapy sessions while giving students a break from normal therapy sessions.

Recipe Ideas:

Slow cooker apple cider (Make this in one larger group, or have students add to the recipe throughout your day)
Fall trail mix
No bake pumpkin pie (Here’s an easy recipe we’ve used in the past.)

3. Fall Movement Activities. The temperature is cooling off and the leaves are changing. What student doesn’t love spending some time outside?

Go on a leaf hunt
Build a scarecrow
Carve a Pumpkin
Take a fall walk, or make it a scavenger hunt and look for different items along the way

4. No Prep Fall Language Activities. These fall themed language worksheets will keep your students engaged while saving you time and your sanity. They are loaded with fun, easy-to-use, and little-to-no prep fall activities that are perfect for data collection.

5. No Prep Fall Stuttering Activities. Are you looking for quick and easy stuttering (fluency) activities and strategies that you can grab and go? Then look no further. This resource is jam packed with a variety of FUN, open-ended stuttering activities and visual supports perfect for treating speech fluency disorders in children preschool through the second grade.

6. No Prep Fall Articulation Activities. I love, love, love using Boom Cards in my therapy sessions. They make it so easy to switch between sounds. I don’t have to worry about juggling workbooks, flash cards, or printing out worksheets, and my students really enjoy the interactive features.
