Turkey - Thanksgiving Activities - Thanksgiving Speech

The therapy planning FOR YOUR WHOLE CASELOAD is done for you with this 125-page resource. If it doesn't work for every student, it can be adapted in so many ways! Turkey Hunt is easy to prep, provides gross motor breaks, and is a simple, engaging way to get a ton of trials. Just hide the 10 turkeys around the room and have your students go on a hunt to find them! Each turkey corresponds to one target on every goal page. Your student must practice their goal in order to trap their turkey! They will seriously have a blast with this game- plus, they get to "save" Thanksgiving!

Are you looking for even more time-saving, super fun therapy activities? Check out the **Yeti Hunt Hide & Find** game too!

⇨ Please note, previously all Hide & Find games were divided into 4 parts- Language, Early Sounds, Apraxia, & Late Sounds. This product has all of these components rolled into one to save you time and money!

⇨ HOW TO USE ⇦

○ Hide them around the room.

○ Bonus: Give each student a flashlight and turn out the lights!

○ Print the target page that corresponds to your student's goals (or pull it up on your iPad).

○ Your students must find each turkey. When they find one, they match it to their target page. They must practice their target in order to trap the turkey!

○ The game is over when every turkey has been captured.

⇨ MORE IDEAS FOR USING HIDE & FIND GAMES ⇦

○ Hide the pictures in a sensory bin instead of around the room.

○ Target prepositions by hiding the pictures strategically.

○ Target following directions. ("get the picture, bring it here, and put it on the table")

○ Target vocabulary by placing the pictures in specific places (table, chair, etc)

○ Target descriptors by describing which picture you want the student to find- or have them describe it!

○ Have your students color their goal page while you're working with another student in a mixed group.

○ Alternate between target pages to target multiple goals.

○ Use the articulation pages to work at sentence level. ("I found the X.")

○ Print doubles of the pictures- hide one set and match it to the other. Skipping the goal pages can truly help *everyone* participate in this fun activity!

○ Practice following a point or gaze if the student needs help finding a zombie. This can be thought of as "thinking with their eyes."

○ Use the blank target pages to target ANYTHING that isn't covered in the included goal pages- and then email me at lindsey@speechythings.com so I can add it to the resource!

⇨ STORING HIDE & FIND GAMES ⇦

I recommend laminating the 10 themed pictures to keep and printing off goal pages as needed. I sometimes keep most-used goal pages on hand in page protectors as well. (i.e. K, G, R, S blends, L, L blends, C1V1C2V2, CVC, wh questions, pronouns, and categories).

Again, you can pull up goal pages on your computer or tablet if you want this to be no print!
