14+ Easy Easter Themed Activities for Speech and Language Therapy

Easter is such a fun theme to use in your speech and language therapy sessions. There are tons of great vocabulary and activities. 

(Not to mention Easter candy is my favorite! Give me all of the Cadbury eggs….😋)

And…let’s just say you may be a sucker for all of those cute shaped Easter “eggs…” What can you do with them? 

Here are 14+ easy Easter-themed ideas to use in your speech therapy sessions during this spring season, including several ideas for those Easter eggs!

Easter Speech Therapy Activities:

• Read an Easter-themed book. Here Comes the Easter Cat and How to Catch the Easter Bunny are two of the best Easter themed books!
• Practice following directions with an Easter theme. Use props/pictures and create your own directions for students to follow. You could even grab some Easter shaped mini erasers or Easter egg shaped candies to use as manipulatives.
• Print and cut out Easter-themed shapes (e.g.,eggs, rabbits, baskets, etc.). They can all be the same, or they can be different. Write target vocabulary on them and hide them around the room. As you practice the vocabulary targets, say “where” you found the picture. For example, “I found the rabbit under the table!”
• Cut out some paper eggs, write target words/vocabulary on each one and fling it off of a parachute. Practice the words as you find the egg. While using the parachute, you can also target up/down, high/low, fast/slow, etc.
• Sing an Easter song. One great Easter song that includes movement is “Boom Chicka Boom Easter” by The Learning Station. Another good one is “Easter Bunny Dance & Freeze” by Jack Hartmann. *Make sure to watch videos in advance to check for appropriateness for your students.*
• Write a note to the Easter Bunny. Talk about your favorite thing about Easter/spring time. See if you can use any words that contain your target speech sound.
• Create a simple Easter themed sensory bin. Use a filler such as green Easter grass. Add a scoop, tongs, spoons, or measuring cups. Add objects to find such as mini egg/bunny erasers, flash cards, and egg-shaped toys. That’s it! You can also add a small container to “hide” the items into such as a miniature Easter basket.

• Using lots of paper eggs or mini Easter-shaped erasers, spell out letters and names. You could also line them up and talk about which line is long/longer/longest, short/shorter/shortest, etc.
• Practice describing different Easter themed items using photos. 
• Create an Easter egg, Easter Bunny, or Easter basket using modeling dough and additional items such as googly eyes, toothpicks, twist ties, pipe cleaner pieces, and beads. Describe your Easter item. Talk about what it looks like, but also tell a story about it. What does your Easter Bunny like to do? What does your Easter Bunny like to eat? Is your Easter item similar or different than your friend’s? Target fringe vocabulary words such as squish/squeeze, mold, roll, and pound/smash.
• Whatever toys your students love to play with, turn it into an Easter scene by taping paper eggs on it! Or you can hide smaller plastic eggs around the toy. It's really fun with toy doll houses and plastic barns.
• Grab some egg or rabbit shaped sugar cookies to decorate with frosting and candy. A little too much effort/money? Cut out some eggs/rabbits and other smaller shapes. Decorate them by following directions or describe your egg/rabbit. Make sure to use all of your good speech sounds!
• Decorate plastic Easter eggs with stickers or white board markers. If you use white board markers, you can clean them off to use again!

Easter Egg Activities for Speech Therapy

• Hide some Easter eggs around the room. As you find the eggs, say “where” you found it. For example, “I found the egg under the table!” You can hide a variety of types of eggs (e.g., car shaped, bug shaped, designs, etc.) and have students describe the egg they found. For example, “I found the blue car egg under the table!”
• Hide small flashcards with target sounds and vocabulary inside of the eggs. Open an egg and practice the targets. You could place these eggs inside of a sensory bin.
• Hide mini objects with target sounds and vocabulary inside of the eggs. Open an egg and practice the targets. You could place these eggs inside of a sensory bin.
• Using an egg and a mini object, practice spatial concepts and prepositions. “In,” “out,” “under,” “on,” and “off” are good ones to target.
• Roll the Easter eggs. See which ones goes the farthest. Talk about far/farther/farthest and short/shorter/shortest. Which one is the closest?
• Sort a variety of eggs by type into different categories. You could sort the eggs by color, size, design, etc.
• Practice “open” and “close.”
• Depending on the shape of your eggs, you could target “half” and “whole.”
• Students LOVE hiding and finding Easter eggs. Even if your room is super small, there are still TONS of places to hide them. 

Even some of the older students secretly enjoy hiding and finding the eggs. Give it a try!
