The best part about using a camping theme in speech therapy is– let's be real– the absence of bugs. Wait, I mean the huge amount of flexibility to target speech and language goals. And that you can use the theme for weeks. Or maybe it's the fact that kids LOVE to talk about camping.
Either way, there are so many great speech therapy activities for the theme of camping. Whether you're looking for something to engage squirmy preschoolers or motivate teenagers, you'll be a happy camper! This list of digital activities will save you time rummaging through your files (and the internet) by giving you a mountain of ideas... all just a click away!
