Halloween Dollar Spot Fun Finds!

Are you addicted to the dollar store and Target's dollar spot like I am?!  My favorite time of the year to browse these stores is Halloween time!!  I went yesterday to Target and look at what I got!!!!

As you can see above, for $4, I got Halloween BINGO, a pumpkin face felt kit, and fun jack-o-lantern mini tin buckets!!  How do I plan on using these?!!?

Halloween BINGO:

• Building Halloween vocabulary
• Turn taking
• Teaching and practicing game "social vocabulary"
• Prepositions
• Matching/Same/Different

Pumpkin Face:

I got this specifically for one student but I may go back and get enough for a whole class which I push into.  They had a ton of variety: pirates, witches, and other silly faces.  I went for the plain face since it will benefit the student I have in mind.  I plan on going to the grocery store and getting a mini pumpkin to decorate!  If I cannot, I will laminate a picture of a pumpkin and put Velcro on the back of the felt pieces!  What goals can I address with this felt kit:

• Describing textures
• Face/pumpkin/jack-o-lantern vocabulary
• 5 senses vocabulary
• Following directions
• Can use as a follow-up activity for MANY pumpkin/jack-o-lantern stories/books
• Compare/contrast pumpkin and jack-o-lantern

Buckets:

• Can use while participating in a "pretend" trick or treating
• Following directions
• Sorting activities
• Prepositions
• Can hold game pieces so students don't fidget

As you can tell, for $4 I have TONS of lessons planned for the weeks leading up to Halloween!  I am so excited!  Have you found any fun finds lately?!  Want to see what other SLP bloggers have found?!  Click HERE to visit Teach Speech 365's linky party!!
