Here is the collection of food lesson plans that I gathered for the food theme. I already had most of these materials, except for the Dollar Tree ketchup and mustard die cuts. Those are a recent purchase that I decided to use as word association cards in concentration games. Incidentally, all the word pairs are food related. Just on top of those, I have cheeseburger coasters that I'm thinking of using in a memory recall task. Below the condiments are some peanut butter and jelly cards that I'm also using in a shorter game of word association concentration.
The next ice cream lesson comes from
Jenn at Crazy Speech World. She put together this fun noun and verb matching game for sentence construction. I edited some verbs to address irregular tense and picked up these mini decorative trays that reminded me of an ice cream parlour.
At the end of last school year, I had many requests to repeat a popcorn lesson that I found at Speech Time Fun. You can find this freebie that targets naming synonyms
here. All my students especially loved using the elephant card that caused you to put back all the popcorn that you had collected during game play. I used my Dollar Tree popcorn buckets for students to collect their picture popcorn.
I also had a couple games that I found at Job Lot in Massachusetts a few years ago. The one below targets using social manners and it came with the adorable picnic basket and blanket. I can easily work on vocabulary and turn taking with this gem.
The other Job Let find was a pizza game that focuses on listening skills. It came with the items pictured below plus an additional pizza in a box. The object is to follow directions by accurately placing tokens with pictures on them onto the pizza. If you follow directions, then you move ahead on the large pizza spatula board. So cute!
But wait, there's more! A little while ago, I purchased one of the "Moore" bundles on Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) that included several food themed lesson plans all to benefit the therapists who lost supplies during the devastating tornado this year. First up, is from one of my all time favorite bloggers, Rose at Speech Snacks (you know, the one who created the super cool ice cream lesson mentioned above;) Her donation to the bundle was a restaurant package that includes a fun game board with cards, categorization drills, auditory processing activities, and using manners. Never fear, you can buy yours
here!
Yet, another score from my TPT "Moore" bundle purchase came from, The Buckeye Speech Path. This 'Build a Pizza' activity is an open ended speech game that you can find
here on TPT.
Moving right along are my clean McDonald's french fry containers with yellow craft sticks that Jenna discussed at
Speech Room News. Students will earn "french fries" for accurately producing sound targets.
As you can see, I created a binder full of food lesson plans for this unit. The next one is a barrier game freebie from
Carrie's Speech Corner using a lunch tray and some rather healthy food choices too.
Last, but not least, I will be debuting a game that I created similar to the other guessing games I posted about for the
spring and
summer. I took pictures of some items inside a lunch box to clip on the outside handle. Students need to first describe the pictured object and then reach into the box with their eyes closed and feel around for it. I have used a "What's in Mom's Purse?" game with many students of various ages and they all LOVE this game.
That about covers it! Thanks to all the fabulously creative bloggers who continue making fun and functional products! I hope you can try out some of these lesson plans too!
