Gross Motor Games for Speech

​All sounds:Hopscotch- put target words on each square, say the words as you hop

All sounds:Hot Lava- put target words on floor & jump over hot lava to get to them ( I use scarves or orange construction paper to represent the lava)

All Sounds:Obstacle Course, with stations including words or items with target sounds

All sounds:Scarf-Jump-Yell- throw 3-4 scarves on the floor, jump from one to the next & then when you get to the last one yell your target word. ( You can use a plastic microphone to make it even louder).

Medial Sounds: "Follow the leader" or "copy me"- Each student gets to be the leader for a given number of turns & gives everyone else those directions. You can do this in a line or a circle.

/f/-"I found it"- create an obstacle course with small items hidden 

/f/- Hopscotch, say "1 foot" or "2 feet " as appropriate with each jump

/g/-"I got it"- throwing things into a box or basket placed on the ground, say "I got it" when you get one in

/p/- Bubbles! - say "pop" when that happens, use different implements as bubble poppers such as pointers, rulers, pool noodles

/s/- Hide and Seek- use the phrase "I see_____" when you find someone

"sh"-Take a shot- This is a sort of basketball game. You need some sort of basket & some kind of ball. Then make a die or some cards that say "sit', "stand", "jump", "run", "laugh", and "any way you want". Each player rolls the die or picks a card & then they have to make that kind of shot.

/z/-Freeze tag-The teacher is "it" & can freeze students by touching them. Other students can un--freeze each other by touching them and saying "Unfreeze!".
