Since COVID-19 has kept us at home, we are all ready to get our lives back to a new normal. You may be completely out of ideas by now as to how to both entertain as well as stimulate learning with your kids. Last summer Speech Pathology Associates posted an 8-week summer language enrichment series and we will be posting it again starting next week. Don’t forget we will also repeat our drawing for $100 Amazon Gift Card for those who like/share/post. Please post any questions each week that you might have concerning communication and we will be happy to respond. Since schools have been closed as well as our clinic, we know that you probably have concerns and questions about what you could be doing. We look forward to addressing your questions and hearing your comments about the enrichment activities. Have a great summer!
Speech Pathology Associates, Mississippi Summer Language Enrichment Series Both you and the child can ‘be the teacher’ in the task of asking questions and giving hints of what the word might be. This is similar to the old Password game but involves not only single word hints but questions as well. This is a great table game but could also be a good traveling game to prevent boredom. You or your child will think of an item such as ‘ball’ or an activity such as ‘swimming’ and the other must ask questions to arrive at the name of the item. This is another complex language development activity because only specific questions and hints will arrive at the final answer. Random questions and hints that don’t point to the item specifically will be an indicator that this task is challenging for your child. If this activity proves to be difficult for your child or if you have questions, please email me.
