Prepositions: Where's the candy?

Alright, I was motivated! Here is the Halloween edition of the preposition mini-books.

This activity follows the same template as the other preposition mini-books offered by A and M productions.
This activity includes 12 vocabulary cards and 12 fill-in-the blank cards to target prepositions. For the reinforcement activity glue or Velcro the apples into the basket. You can also make a pocket using the candy bag provided. This will allow children the ability to physically put the candy pieces inside. I recommend using a manila envelope for the pocket.
Targeted prepositions include: over, under, on top, in front, next to, in the middle, around, behind, between, inside, out, and across.

Prepositions: Where's the apple?

The little mini-books geared towards targeting prepositions appear to be a popular item for my fellow speech-pathologist and educators. I'm adding to the family with "Where's the apple".

This mini-book has been created in the same format as "Where's the leprechaun?", "Where's the bunny?", and "Where's the lady bug?".

It includes 12 vocabulary cards and 12 fill-in-the blank cards to target prepositions. For the reinforcement activity glue or Velcro the apples into the basket.
Targeted prepositions include: over, under, on top, in front, next to, in the middle, around, behind, between, inside, out, and across.

I typically laminate the activity and use a dry erase marker to fill in the blanks.

I'm hoping to have a Halloween themed book available by the end of the night (If my motivation levels stay high). Otherwise, it will be available by the end of the week.

Enjoy!

Barnyard Barrier Game

Whew, I realized I have been gone for a long time. Sorry, I get easily distracted in warm weather. But, we had our first official 30 degree morning, so I decided to tie up the loose ends on a couple of activities. This guy has been sitting in my cue for a couple of months.

I noticed that farm animals make a lot of appearances in my therapy sessions, so I never feel like I can have too many barnyard activities lying around. 

I made this quick little activity to target either multi-step directions, prepositions, or both. Depending on the skill level of the child/group, I included two different scenery cards. One scenery card is already filled out with barnyard objects. The second scene is blank, and includes a corresponding page of barnyard objects. 

Make sure every child (or participating speech therapist) has their own scene. They should also have their own set of animal cards. If using the blank picture scene, the child should also have the barn yard objects. 

I prefer to put sticky backed magnets on the animal and barnyard cards. You can also use Velcro (which may reduce the amount of options for placement of objects). Then, I place the picture scenes on cookie trays. You can easily find some cheap cookie sheets at the dollar store. 

If I think my kiddos can handle it, I use file folders to make a barrier game. There seems to be some added motivation when trying to match my scene or their peers. 

This activity was designed to allow for flexibility. I know the speech-pathology profession includes a lot of creative individuals, so I encourage you tailor the activity to fit your kiddo’s needs. So far, I have used this activity to target:

 Spatial relationships: (i.e. Put the cow behind the fence)

One step or multi-step directions: (Put the farmer and the pig on the farm)

Sequential directions: (Put the horse on the farm before you put the duck on the farm)
