Description
A scavenger hunt is a fun and interactive activity for speech therapy that allows you to use naturally occurring speech and language opportunities to target nearly any goal! This scavenger hunt utilizes household objects to easily generate loads of communication among groups of students.
This resource helps you integrate all of your students' goals into one meaningful activity. It's completely versatile for any caseload! There are two options to choose from:
- Look for the household objects (such as a hanger, envelope, and pen) shown in 10 REAL PHOTOGRAPHS.
- Find household objects based on 10 DESCRIPTIONS OR ADJECTIVES, such as "Can you find something with a lid?"
Go at the pace that works best for your student or group! Choose to present the images one at a time or all on one page. Either way, you can use the built-in prompts (or make up your own) to target a variety of SPEECH THERAPY GOALS for each object found, such as:
✅ Labeling household vocabulary
✅ Understanding adjectives and using them to describe objects
✅ Using basic concepts of location to describe where an object was found
✅ Answering wh- questions about each object
✅ Comparing and contrasting two or more like objects (especially in groups where students can see each other's objects)
✅ Formulating sentences and expanding utterances about the items (where they were found, what they're used for, etc.)
✅ Asking questions and showing interest in others (students can ask each other about the objects)
✅ Practicing intelligibility and fluency strategies in a semi-structured activity
✅ This activity can also be used as an ice-breaker, to build rapport, or to provide a cooperative learning opportunity.
With multiple formats, you can choose what applies to your setting!
The following options are included (in the downloaded zipped file):
- A DIGITAL PDF with clickable checkboxes (to check off items as they're found) and clickable menu/navigation buttons (to help you move smoothly throughout the resource)
- A PRINTABLE PDF containing 2 one-page "lists" (one with the 10 photos and the other with the 10 descriptions) as well as a page with the language prompts (both in color and grayscale)
Use this activity with what you have! Students can locate the objects in their homes, classroom, community, or school. They can also look for items to be shown in video clips, books, pictures, or other activities you're using. This activity also makes for a fun speech therapy homework assignment for students to generalize articulation and language goals!
