Home Run Speech ~ One Page Speech and Language Craft

This activity was designed to be a simple, no-prep activity to target articulation and language while making a fun baseball craft. It is also a GREAT way to encourage home practice because when completing crafts it creates the “look what I made” mentality which increases the likelihood that the student will show their caregiver and review. A quick caregiver note is included! Don't forget to check out the craft bundle to get 25% off  (view it on the right side of this listing, scroll to bottom) 

How to use: Articulation pages: The student will color and practice each target word on the baseballs. The student will cut out the balls and practice the words again. The student will glue each ball around the field and bat and practice the word one more time! If you are working in groups, have the other students color their field/bat in between turns. Language pages: The student will practice the skill as they color, cut out, and glue the baseballs around the field. The therapist will determine the number or trials for the articulation page. 

My hope is that this will encourage the students to show their parents and review their targets,  plus tell them all about the fun craft they made.
