Getting to Know You in Speech Therapy ~ Print & Go

I use this activity the first week of school or when I get new students in speech. It is a fun way to learn about your students! My students love completing all of the activities in the packet. Once it is finished, I send the packet home. You could also display some the pages in the hall or in your room. Now includes a BOOM Card Version!

No Prep, Low Ink, Print & Go!

 This activity is designed for students in k-3 (use your discretion within these grade levels).Some of my older elementary students and middle schoolers also enjoy this. You can use this activity to target following directions, describing, vocabulary, and turn taking skills.

 ⭐ Includes a version with UK/Canada Spelling (colour/favourite)

⭐BOOM Card version added May 2020 for distance learning/teletherapy (can be used in person too). American and UK/Canada/Australia Spelling BOOM Card versions. Please note: the BOOM card versions do not include all of the same pages as the paper packet.
