The included story, The Valentine With No Name!, follows a group preparing a Valentine surprise area when they discover an unlabeled Valentine and then have to solve a second problem involving a balloon. This creates natural opportunities for comprehension, sequencing, inferencing, problem-solving, and perspective-taking.
FUNCTIONAL SOCIAL COMMUNICATION
The Valentine’s Day theme creates natural opportunities to practice communication skills such as:
Saying thank you
Giving something to another person
Asking for help
Including someone who feels left out
Making polite requests
Giving compliments
Apologizing after an accident
Respecting someone’s preferences
Offering alternatives
Inviting someone to join the group
The problem-solving activities also include situations related to lost items, sharing materials, food allergies, damaged Valentine cards, and helping peers participate safely and respectfully.
SPEECH + PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS
The included sound activities provide opportunities for:
Beginning sound identification
Matching words with the same beginning sound
Syllable segmentation
Sound deletion
Sound blending
Articulation practice using Valentine’s Day vocabulary
The articulation word bank includes a variety of consonants and blends using words naturally connected to the scene, including balloon, bear, bow, flowers, heart, candy, Valentine, present, ribbon, chocolate, string, and more.
PERFECT FOR MIXED SPEECH THERAPY GROUPS
Mixed groups do not have to mean planning several completely different activities.
Keep the Valentine’s Day busy scene in front of everyone while one student answers a WH question, another describes an item, another makes an inference, another works through a social situation, and another practices an articulation target.
The shared visual keeps students participating in the same activity while allowing you to individualize each student’s speech or language goal.
