Contests

Walking through a park in the fall and winter can become monotonous since the landscape may seem barren.  To increase attention, I suggest having a contest to see who can spot something in Bird Park first.  Make the target something relevant to your child's speech/language goals.  For example,

"nest" for the /n/, /st/ sounds...

"hill" for the /l/ sound...

"squirrel" for two-syllable words, clusters.  (Yes, there is a squirrel hiding there.  Next time I will use the zoom feature on my camera.)

A variation on this game is not only to see who can spot the first next/hill/squirrel, but who can spot the most.
