Five Little Frogs Sitting On A Log

By Speech Therapy Teacher

"5 Little Frogs Sitting on a Log" is a popular nursery rhyme that can be used in speech therapy to target various speech and language goals, such as articulation, phonological awareness, sequencing, and vocabulary development. Here are some ideas on how to use this nursery rhyme in speech therapy:

Articulation Practice: Use the words in the rhyme to practice specific speech sounds. For example, if a child is working on the /f/ sound, have them say "Five little frogs" or "Frogs on a log" repeatedly.

Phonological Awareness: Focus on the rhyming words in the rhyme to help children recognize and produce rhymes. You can ask them to identify the rhyming words, generate other words that rhyme with "frog" or "log," or create their own rhyming verses.

Sequencing: Have the child put the events of the rhyme in order. You can use picture cards or a story map to help them visualize the sequence of events.

Vocabulary Development: Use the rhyme to introduce new vocabulary words, such as "jump," "splash," "swim," and "croak." Encourage the child to use these words in sentences and practice their pronunciation.

Language Comprehension: Ask questions related to the rhyme to assess the child's understanding and comprehension. For example, "What happened to the frogs?" or "Where did the frogs go?"

Remember to make the therapy session fun and engaging by incorporating games, songs, and other interactive activities.
