Luckily for teletherapy SLPs, the internet is full of websites you can use in virtual speech therapy sessions. But wading through all the games and activities can be overwhelming and time-consuming.
I've compiled this list of student-friendly websites I keep a click away during teletherapy sessions. These speech therapy games and activities can be used to...
Incorporate as reinforcement during drill tasks.
Elicit language from shy students.
Fill the last few minutes of a session.
Free Teletherapy Websites for Speech Therapy
Bookmark this blog post to keep these ideas on standby for your teletherapy sessions. These websites can all be used for free in some way (at the time of this publication). Some have paid versions that give you access to more content, allow you to make your own activities, or eliminate advertisements.
ABCYa has hundreds of games and activities. Many focus on a specific academic skill, but several can be played more open-endedly.
Baamboozle has games consisting of digital cards, each with a question, picture, and/or gif! There are tons of pre-made games, or you can make your own.
Boom Cards are (not surprisingly) the activity I turn to for the majority of sessions since they are so interactive. Get started with 10 free decks for speech therapy!
Chrome Music Lab is for your music-loving students, as they can experiment with making their own songs.
Disney Now hosts tons of vibrant, interactive games (with familiar characters) that preschool and lower elementary students will love.
EdPuzzle is a free database of interactive video lessons
FunBrain is a great site with lots of kids' games and even some digital books.
Happy Clicks has many interactive activities that are great for toddlers and preschoolers, such as simple puzzles, memory games, and mazes.
Highlights Kids is my go-to for hidden pictures, but they also have jokes and quizzes.
IXL (especially the ELA portion) is a great website for endless language activities. You can read more about my experience using IXL in speech therapy.
Jeopardy Labs is great for older students. Create your own Jeopardy-style game using whatever questions you want to input into the template
Make Beliefs Comix is a tool for students to create their own digital comics. They even have a page dedicated to showing how special educators use the site with special populations.
Match the Memory has tons of memory games on all topics (use the search bar), but you can also make your own with a free log-in.
Mr. Nussbaum Learning and Fun has reading passages for older students, and also some games pertaining to a range of subjects.
National Geographic Kids is a fabulous website that's full of high-interest information. There are quizzes (regular and personality), puzzles, and action-filled games. My favorite are the "Funny Fill-Ins" that pair perfectly with this companion for articulation students.
Online Jigsaw Puzzles has loads of photo puzzles (search by category) that you can do. You can even modify the number of pieces to work for your student.
PBS Kids has many interactive games centered around various kids' TV show characters. Many of them coordinate perfectly with favorite speech therapy themes and other favorite children's topics.
Pink Cat Games is an SLP favorite! You can create your own question sets or word lists (or use those shared by others) and utilize them in a selected game.
Poki offers tons (seriously, tons) of online games... without even a log-in! There are completely original games, plus digital versions of classic games like Sorry, Battleship, and Yahtzee.
Sesame Street's site hosts games, videos, art activities, and more for your younger students.
Thecolor.com is my go-to for digital coloring.
Tiny Tap is another site that hosts simple activities that appeal to younger students.
Toy Theater is such a handy website that's loaded with activities. Specifically, teletherapy SLPs might be interested in the hidden Pictures, Story Sequencing Pictures, Sticker Scene Creator, and Games.
Wheel of Names is a site that lets you add names or images to a spinner. This is an especially fun way to incorporate a set of articulation targets.
Wordwall has templates for many games (such as crosswords and game shows) that you can use to input your own words.
As you can see, free teletherapy websites are aplenty. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with a few that look interesting, and add new ones as you have time to explore more.
