Articulation Smash Mats
All Sounds
Articulation practice can be tedious and require lots of preparation (both of my least favorite things). To help alleviate some of that work and stress, I created 2 options of FUN, ENGAGING, and VERSATILE articulation smash mats - for all sounds in all word positions.

Speech Therapy Practice Ideas For Articulation Smash Mats
Of course, you can use these smash mats any way you see fit; however, I want to share some of my favorite therapy ideas using these articulation smash mats for both articulation AND language practice.
Hint..hint...there are more uses than just naming pictures!
*I recommend that you print and laminate each needed page so they can be reused over and over again (save time, money, and trees!)
Articulation Ideas
- Have a child name a picture (word level practice) and then place a token or playdough on it (motivation).
- Have a child point a picture, say it, and then, make up a sentence using the chosen word (sentence level practice). After, the child places a token or playdough on it (motivation).
- Have a child pick two pictures and make up a sentence using both words (sentence level practice and language practice).
- Pick a favorite or least favorite picture and explain why (connected speech level practice).
- Print off a game board and find a coin (heads is 1/tails is 2) or a dice and 2 tokens. Roll the coin/dice. Move a token along the game board and name pictures as you pass them. The first one to reach the finish line wins.
Language Practice Ideas
- Name a function or category of a picture (word level practice) and then place a token or playdough on it (motivation).
- Describe a picture and then place a token or playdough on it (motivation).
- Find 2 pictures that are related, describe why, and then place a token or playdough on it (motivation)
- Pick an action, place, and character picture and make up a story about them (narrative language practice).
