Articulation Games for L Blends

Take turns with your child saying the desired words during the games listed below. It is important to practice hearing and saying the words.

1. Blue - Find and name everything that is blue. Make sure to say blue and the object’s name. 
2. Blow - Get out the bubbles and blow bubbles. Say “blow bubbles” before taking a turn. 
3. Flip - Instead of turning the page, “flip” the page while reading. Have your child say “flip” before you turn the page. 
4. Flower - Make paper flowers or go for a walk and find flowers.
5. Glass - Get out a glass and fill it with water, objects, rice...whatever. Just say put “XXX in glass” when taking a turn.
6. Glue - Glue things together and have your child say “glue” before getting a turn using glue.
7. Clean - Use the water hose to “clean” off the sidewalk or practice saying “clean” while washing hands (not fun but happens every day!)
8. Climb - Challenge each other to climb over something safe.
9. Plane- Make paper airplanes. Fun and easy!
10. Play - Have your child say “play” while playing a board game, sports game, or whatever. Just say “play” before taking a turn.
