Easter EET Fun! (fun ways to incorporate the EET during Easter time!)

Are you looking for more ways to incorporate the EET into your therapy rooms during Easter time?!  I have some activities that I have been doing to help you out!!  Don't have an EET kit?!  Learn more about it by clicking HERE!

What did I use?!

• The EET strand
• Object cards from the EET kit
• EET dice from the EET kit
• EET stickers from the EET kit
• A fun, spring basket/bin that I got from the Target dollar spot
• Graphic organizer from my activity pack found HERE!
• Index cards or small pieces of paper
• Easter eggs that I got from a dollar store

Pick an EET Egg:

• I put an EET sticker on small pieces of paper and placed them in the Easter Eggs.  I put the eggs in the buckets and gave one to each student.  Only one basket?  You can place them all in a basket and pass the basket around.  (my students have a tendency to "cheat" so I presort to avoid it!)
• Students picked a card from the object card and an Easter egg.  They had to open the egg to find out how they had to describe the object on the card!!

EET Dice Fun:

• Students can pick an object card and roll the dice to find out how they need to describe it.
• Once they respond accurately, they can hunt for an Easter egg around the therapy room!  
• Some groups I put in little prizes such as erasers in the eggs.  Other groups, I put in pieces of paper with multi-step directions to follow (to work on other skills for groups with multiple goals).
• This was so much fun and students loved moving around the room!

Graphic Organizer Fun:

• We used these graphic organizers as a review
• Students got to pick a card from the object cards pile
• They had to independently use the EET to describe it
• It was a great way to collect data!

Looking for other ways to use the EET during Easter time?  Have you seen my Easter EET Companion pack?!  How do you use the EET during Easter?!  Hope these ideas can help you plan the next few days/week!

Easter Egg Showdown - Reviewing Division Game

This week I got a newsletter from Laura Candler which reminded me of an activity that I hadn't done in quite awhile.  Showdown!  I didn't even realize how long it had been until I pulled out my eggs...

Yep - that was from 7th grade math.  I haven't taught 7th grade in almost 2 years!

Well luckily Laura has division  problems in her Easter Egg Showdown which was a perfect review for my 4th graders.

When they came in from lunch, this is what they saw.

They were so excited to see Easter Eggs on their desks.  The best part?  They weren't even disappointed when they found out they were filled with math problems!

Each table had a team captain who opened the egg and pulled out the problem.  They read it out loud (a great way to practice since they like to reverse the divisor and the dividend when reading them) and placed them on the table for all to see.  Each team member answered the problem on their board and placed them face down when finished.  The captain called, "Showdown" and they shared their answers.  When they finished all of their eggs, they traded eggs with another team (which saved me copies!).

They had a blast!

Easter Roll, Say & Color Articulation Fun!

Do you love dice games?!  Do you love print and go activities?!  I have an Easter articulation activity pack just for you!!

Using this activity:
-Grab 2 dice, print the page of the target sound working on, and some crayons and you are ready!  No laminating involved!
Students roll the two dice.  One dice will tell them which row to look at.  The second dice will tell them to count across to determine the target word to say!  You can even make them say that word that many times!!!

-Once they say the target, they can color the themed picture!
Keep rolling and practicing those target sounds until the entire page is colored!  There are 36 opportunities to practice each target sound!  Can send home the worksheet for review home practice!

-Target sounds included, in the initial and final positions:
/k, g, s, f, v, th, sh, ch, l, r, z/ 

Initial clusters included: /s/, /r/, and /l/

Easter Expanding Vocabulary Fun! (EET Companion Pack!)

Are you loving my EET companion packs?!  Are your students thriving because of the amazing EET product?!  These companion packs make a fun way to incorporate the EET into your speech rooms!  My students have been loving them and learning so much at the same time!  My Easter version is ready and available!

**Remember....this is a companion pack and designed to be  used WITH the Expanding Expression Tool by Sara L. Smith!  Click HERE to learn more.

Expanding Vocabulary Easter Egg Hunt Game:
-Print and laminate a basket for each student.

-Print and laminate the eggs and place them in the middle.

-Print and laminate the visual/directions and display them for your students.  If you have a Smart Board you can display this page on it for your students to see while playing.  This will help them understand what they need in order to win!

-Place the object pile in the middle.  Students will take turns picking an object.  On each object card is an EET “bead”.  They must express the describing concept requested (EET bead).  Once they express that description, they can locate the egg that has that EET bead on it. Students will take turns picking an object and describing it while adding eggs to their baskets until all of the cards run out.  The first student to fill their basket with all 7 types of flowers/EET beads is the winner!  (**48 object cards included!**)



-Review worksheets are included!!

-A generic board game is included that can be used with any targets.  Students must roll a dice to move along the game board.  They must express the description based on the space they land on.  All spaces have correlating EET “beads.”

Easter Early Language File Folder Activities!

Spring is here and Easter is around the corner!!  It is time to prepare those materials (if you like to stay ahead like me!).  Well....my Easter file folder pack is ready!!

This pack includes activities that can be used as file folder activities or printed and used as is.  Activities are created to build vocabulary, use complete sentences, and answer questions while incorporating theme concepts.  Tons of visuals and sentence strips provided!

Included activities:
-What Do They Have?:  Print and glue the boy and girl images onto one side of a file folder.  For each item card, students must use the sentence strips provided to express which person has the different items.  This activity can also be used to work on “who” questions, pronouns, and possessives.

-I Spy In The Easter Picture: Print the scene picture.  Students can use the visual to locate all of the named items.  Goals you can address with this activity: prepositions, answering/asking questions, describing, and using vocabulary in complete sentences.

-What Color Is It?:  Students will sort the Easter items into the correct color category.  Each color has a sentence strip to encourage students to expand utterances as they express the different colors.

-Singular or Plural?:  Students will sort the Easter items into the correct category, singular or plural.  They can use the sentence strip to express which category it belongs into.

-Let’s Describe: Students will be provided with a variety of Easter items to describe.  A visual page of adjectives will be provided (you can glue these adjectives on one side of the file folder).  Students can use the sentence strip provided to describe each Easter item with one of the adjectives provided.  Can it be described with more than one adjective?

Michael Rosen - We're Going On A Bear Hunt (or an Egg hunt, who knows? )

Easter project in 5 steps

Here is my suggestion for this Easter:
Marbled eggs!

It consists on painting eggs with a marbling effect technique.

This is a project that precedes the egg hunt my students are going go on with me and their PE teacher at the end of this week.


Step 1:

Glue a wooden skewer on (empty) egg using a hot glue gun.

Step 2:

Fill a plastic bowl with water. (make sure it's an old bowl that you can dye with paint)

Step 3:

Drop some glass paint drops into the water. 

Step 4:

Mix the colours softly and slowly with the tip of a wooden skewer.

Step 5:

Finally, immerse the eggs in the water (making sure the children don't touch the paint), and pull them out slowly.

And Voila! 

PS. I must thank my student Mariana, who, after painting her egg, was the super professional photographer documenting the entire process! So, Thank you Mariana!
