5 Fun Speech Therapy Activities You Can Do at Home

Helping your child improve their speech doesn’t have to be boring or stressful. With the right activities, you can turn speech therapy practice into playtime! Here are five fun speech therapy activities you can do at home to help your child develop their communication skills.

1. Scavenger Hunt with Sounds

Create a scavenger hunt focused on sounds and words your child is practicing. For example, if your child is working on the “B” sound, hide objects that start with the letter B (like a ball or a book). As they find each item, have them say the word clearly. This activity builds vocabulary, articulation, and confidence.

2. Storytime with a Twist

Choose a favorite book and read it together. Pause and let your child fill in missing words or describe the pictures. You can also ask questions to encourage conversation. For example, “What do you think happens next?” Storytime helps develop vocabulary, comprehension, and expressive language skills.

3. Sing-Along Sessions

Singing songs together is a wonderful way to improve speech patterns, rhythm, and vocabulary. Choose songs with repetitive phrases or rhymes, such as nursery rhymes or children’s songs. Encourage your child to sing along and repeat lines. Music is a powerful tool for language development.

4. Role-Playing Games

Pretend play, like running a pretend store or playing house, allows your child to practice conversational skills and learn new vocabulary. Act out different roles and have conversations. For example, “Can I buy an apple from your store?” Role-playing promotes social communication and sentence-building.

5. Speech Sound Simon Says

Play a classic game of Simon Says but with a speech therapy twist. Give commands that include target sounds. For example, “Simon says touch your nose” if practicing the “N” sound. Your child will have fun while practicing articulation.
