Thanksgiving Craft Speech Therapy | Turkey Craft | Thanksgiving Craftivity
By Learn smartly
Make speech therapy engaging and festive with this Thanksgiving Craft Speech Therapy activity! This fun Turkey Craft combines language practice with creativity, perfect for classroom or therapy sessions. Designed as a versatile Craftivity, students will enjoy creating their turkey while working on essential speech sounds like /s/ and more.
Instructions for Teachers:
Preparation:
Print the turkey template with blank or labeled feathers.
For a group activity, you can print multiple copies of the feathers with various sounds or blank spaces.
Activity Instructions:
Step 1: Choose a target sound (e.g., /t/) and have students practice saying words like “turkey” and “table.”
Step 2: As students say each word correctly, they can either color in a feather with the target sound or glue a pre-made feather onto the turkey.
Step 3: Repeat this process for different sounds, helping students to build a “Turkey Talk” with their practiced words.
Extensions:
You could create a simpler task for younger students with just a few feathers.
Use the blank feathers to personalize for different levels of speech needs (e.g., students who need to practice multisyllabic words or sentences).
Engagement Tips:
Make it interactive! Have kids “earn” each feather by correctly saying the word or sentence.
Use this activity to enhance articulation practice, vocabulary building, and gratitude discussions. It’s also great for creating a colorful bulletin board display—have students assemble their turkeys and write what they’re thankful for on the feathers!
