Four Fun Ways To Use Bingo
By Speech Therapy Teacher
Bingo can be a fun and engaging way to incorporate speech therapy exercises for children. Here are some ways to adapt the game for speech therapy:
Use bingo cards with pictures of objects or words that target the child's specific speech goals, such as articulation or language development. For example, if a child has difficulty with the "s" sound, the bingo cards could feature pictures of objects that start with "s" (e.g. sun, sock, snake, etc.).
Have the child say the name of the object or word on their bingo card before placing a marker on the corresponding square. This can help reinforce their speech goals and give them additional practice with their sounds.
Play a "describe and find" version of bingo, where the therapist describes an object or word on a bingo card, and the child must identify it on their card. This can help with receptive language skills and understanding of vocabulary.
Use bingo as a way to encourage turn-taking and social skills. Have the child take turns calling out bingo numbers and leading the game, or play with a small group of children to encourage interaction and conversation.
Overall, incorporating bingo into speech therapy sessions can be a fun and effective way to engage children in their therapy and help them reach their speech goals.
