Hey everybody, this is Carrie Clark, and you are listening to the Speech and Language Kids Podcast, episode number ten. This is the podcast with activities and resources for families of children with speech and language delays and disorders. Today I'm going to give you a variety of speech and language activities that you can do outside with your child. And in the quick tip, I will tell you how you can get direct therapy for your child from me in the comfort of your own home. First though, I'd like to start with some news and updates.

All right, let's move on into our feature segment: Outside Activities for Speech and Language Development. The first outside fun thing that you can do is play with sidewalk chalk.
This is a great one because it's very versatile. There are a lot of things you can do with sidewalk chalk. Some ideas that I came up with were writing letters to practice some sounds or words. You can get the chalk out while your child's over there scribbling or doodling. You can start writing letters and show your child those letters, tell them what they're called, work on some of those literacy skills, and then also work on what sounds go with the letters. You can do this anytime that you're looking at letters or working on letter activities. You don't have to be doing just sidewalk chalk. But this is a great idea to bring your child's awareness to sounds, help them understand what the sounds what the let what sounds the letters make.
So you know you can say, oh this is A, it says ah and have your child practice that sound. Then you can also practice putting some of those sounds together into words. Start with your child's name. That's always a good first one just because it's more personal to them, so they're gonna be more interested in it. But then start making some other very simple words and talk about what sounds go together and then how you can put them together to make a word. So you could say you could write cat C A T. And then you could say tell your child, Okay, let's look, it says Uh And then see if your child can put those words, those sounds together to make a word. Reversely, you can also do the other way where you can say, this word is cat.
What sounds make up cat and have your child say k at So those are some good pre-literacy skills that you can work on with your children that are not yet reading but getting getting pretty close. Um another activity you can do with sidewalk chalk is playing hopscotch to the sounds or the words. So you can draw a hopscotch little track out. I don't know what the official hopscotch thing is, but I just kinda draw some squares. Um, you know, put one next to one by itself and then two next to each other so you kinda have some alternating patterns there. And then have your child practice a sound or a word while he's doing the hopscotch, so while he's jumping. So let's say your child needs to work on the k k K sound.
Um and your child can say k k k but then when he says cat it comes out tat and when he says car it comes out tar. Okay, so here's what you need to do. Practice that k sound while he's doing hopscotch. So while he jumps, have him say k every time he jumps. Every time he jumps he says the sound. And then once he gets pretty good at that, start trying to throw some vowels in too. So then maybe he has to say k every time or ka ka ka ka
