The Dinosaur Stomp!

If nothing else, I know my preschool boys.  I know they like zombies.  I know they like trains.  I know they like robots.  And I know they like dinosaurs! So, we’ve kept the dinosaur fun going for an extra week in preschool.

We’ve been acting like dinosaurs and stomping our speech words this week! The kids got to attach a “dinosaur foot” to one of their feet, and walk around the room stomping on their speech cards as they practiced their words! My boys L-O-V-E-D it.  They begged me to let them take the feet so they could keep the fun going at home.  I haven’t tried this with my girls yet, but I’m sure they’ll love it, too! 
The dinosaur stomp worked well at the single word, phrase level (“stomp a ___”), and sentence levels (“I stomped a ____” or “I’m stomping ___”) for articulation practice.  You could easily adapt it for a lot of other goals, too.  Just as an example, I have concept cards from this free Dinosaur language packet by Let’s Talk Speech Language Pathology that I plan on using with the dino feet for my kids working on basic concepts.  I’ll tell them to stomp the dinosaur that’s under the table, next to the desk, etc…
These dinosaur feet were just cut out from two sides of a cardboard box, and outlined with brown marker to give it a little something extra.  Make 4 holes in the middle and string ribbon through to tie around their feet, and you’re done! Easy peasy.
What do you think? Think you could use this with your students? What other ways would you use the feet?

Are you a matching Christmas jammies kinda family?

This was the first time I’ve ever used the Cricut to write with a pen, and I’m obsessed! It’s so much better than my own cursive handwriting 😬

Also it’s 9:15 on Christmas Eve and I still haven’t put them on the gifts. Or finished wrapping. Or finished baking. Who else is in the same boat?! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Still working this week? Here’s an easy plan for Still working this week? Here’s an easy plan for ya-

Read Little Blue Truck’s Christmas and use my FREE Little Blue Truck’s Christmas Boom cards to act out the story. (If you aren’t on my email list and missed these, I added a link in my profile to get ‘em).

Afterwards, pull up my standalone Little Blue Truck’s Boom Card book companion and target basically any preschool goal you have with some more Little Blue Truck-themed activities!

If you don’t have the companion yet.. you’re in luck because I’ve teamed up with some other SLPs to bring you a surprise sale to close out 2020, where my 4 featured resources on my TPT storefront are 20% off for the week, and this boom card set is one of them!

Click the link in my profile and find this pic to get to these cards, and search #bye2020slpsale to see all the other great resources included in the sale!
Are you using Cariboo in teletherapy? I tried it o Are you using Cariboo in teletherapy? I tried it out without extra equipment for the first time a couple weeks ago (I used to use my phone as a document camera) and ya know what? It worked just fine!

All I did was set up my laptop on top of a couple boxes to elevate it, and faced Cariboo towards the screen. I’d ask a question and lower the screen so they could see the board better to tell me what to open, then I’d lift the screen back up to show my face for the next question. It was super easy and actually went better than expected!

So for all of you Cariboo lovers wanting to still use your card sets during virtual therapy... give this a shot!
