Sports Themed Speech Language Lesson Plan + Freebies

Sometimes kids just need to MOVE. And honestly, I think that’s one of the best reasons to incorporate sports and movement into speech therapy!

Therapy doesn’t always have to look like sitting at a table, working through cards, and checking off goals. Sometimes getting up, throwing a ball, running outside, jumping, or just changing the scenery can make a HUGE difference.

I love finding ways to sneak speech and language goals into movement because it gives kids a chance to be active while still working on the skills they need. Plus… getting outside for therapy every once in a while? YES PLEASE.

Whether you’re looking for something to mix up your summer sessions, need a fun way to finish out the school year, or want some fresh ideas to kick off August, these sports-themed activities are such a fun way to get kids up and moving!

Scroll through this blog find 20+ sports-themed activities, printables, crafts, and freebies with a speech and language focus. You can use them at the table, turn them into a movement activity, take them outside, or use them with a small group.

Because sometimes changing up HOW we do therapy is all it takes to make a session feel completely different! Find your freebie below!
