Sidewalk chalk is a great, budget-friendly way to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Plus, it's a fantastic tool to sneak in some speech and language practice for your child!
Articulation Practice Idea
To help your child practice different sounds, write target words on the ground.
Following Directions
Draw shapes on the ground and have your child follow instructions using them, like "hop in the circle" or "spin in the square."
Basic Concepts Practice
Draw pictures representing basic concepts like big/small or in/out to help your child understand these ideas better.
Hopscotch Speech Exercises
Draw a hopscotch board on the pavement and fill each space with pictures or words that match the sounds your child is practicing. As they play hopscotch, have them say each word and use it in a sentence while they jump from square to square.
The possibilities are endless when you use sidewalk chalk!
