Scavenger Hunt Speech and Language Game

Put your detective hats on and set off on a scavenger hunt in your house, on a walk, at the playground, or even the grocery store! Play this fun game to work on your child’s articulation goals (if they have them), phonemic awareness (the building block of reading), and categorization.

Start by inviting your child to play a game with you called sound scavenger hunt. If they have an articulation goal, invite them to look for things that begin with that sound. For example, if they are working on the “s” sound, you could say “Let’s find everything in this room that starts with the sound “ssssss.” Emphasize each thing that you find such as “I found a SSSpoon.”

You could also play this game by finding everything that is soft, or maybe everything that is a square shape.

Have fun playing together!
