After a long, cold winter indoors, what better way to welcome in the spring weather with an outdoor scavenger hunt? Here are 3 spring themed scavenger hunts you can take your children on while helping them target their speech goals:

Scavenger hunts are a great way to get your child engaged and practicing their targets for speech therapy. If children need more support, draw pictures of the objects you are looking for on a 3×3 grid and have your child cross off the picture when they find it.
Bonus: Thinking of Easter? Print off small pictures of your child’s speech words or write them on sticky notes and hide them inside Easter eggs. Everytime they find an egg, encourage them to say their word 5x.
Happy practicing!
