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 pages of FUN, ENGAGING, and VERSATILE articulation smash mats - for all sounds in all word positions.

Speech Therapy Practice Ideas

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

Have a child name a function or category of a picture (word level practice) and then place a token or playdough on it (motivation).
Have a child describe a picture and then place a token or playdough on it (motivation).
Have a child find 2 pictures that are related, describe why, and then place a token or playdough on it (motivation)
Have a child pick an action, place, and character picture and make up a story about them (narrative language practice).
