Speech and Language Activities
Concept: Spatial/Location Words
Use these fun boards to work on spatial concepts! Your child will love moving the Velcro pieces
around to different places on the board. To work on receptive skills, ask your child to put the pieces
in various locations. Or, for e xpressive skills, have your child tell you where he/she placed the ob-
ject. Below are some ideas of the different spatial concepts you can use with each board.

Car Ride Scene


In the front seat/front of the car
In the back seat/back of the car
In front of the blue face
Behind the green face
Beside the red face
Between the blue face and the red face
In the car/Inside the car
Out of the car/Outside the car
Next to the yellow face
At the side of the car
On the left side
On the right side

Ocean Scene
Fly the plane above/over the cloud
Fly the plane under/below the cloud
Fly the plane through the cloud
Make the fish go over/under the boat
Make the plane go up (place the plane next to the arrows first)
Make the plane go down
Put the flag on the boat
Put the flag under the boat
Put the flag in the ocean
Put the flag on the top of the boat
Put the fish off of the boat

Game Instructions:

Following Directions
Can your child follow multi-step directions using these spatial concepts? See if she can follow two,
three, or more steps! Example: Put the yellow face in the car and the blue face behind the car.

Answering Questions
This game is great for “where” questions as well as “what”, “what doing”, and “yes/no” questions.
Here are some examples of questions you can ask:
• Where is the red face?
• What is the fish doing?
• Is the flag on the boat?

Increasing MLU with Grammatical Markers:


• Pronouns: Help your child use complete sentences with correct pronouns when talking about the
scenes. Examples: “I see a fish on a boat!”. “He put the flag in the ocean”.
• Possessive Pronouns: Help your child use possessive pronouns (like “my”, “your”, “his”, “her” )
during this game. You can ask questions like “Where did your friend put his item?” or talk about
where he put HIS fish or where she put HER plane.
• Past tense: After an action is completed, talk about what just happened. “The fish JUMPED over
the boat!”
• Articles and Conjunctions: Encourage your child to use good articles and conjunctions during this
activity. “I see A fish AND A flag!” “I put THE plane in the sky!”

Pragmatics:
During this game, your children can practice turn-taking and good topic maintenance. They can also
instruct each other where to put objects and practice giving enough information that the other person
knows what to do. If you make two of this game, put the pieces on your board but don’t let your child
see. Then, tell him where to put his pieces so that it looks just like yours. After he puts his pieces
on, compare the two boards and see if he got it right. Then, trade and see if your child can tell you
where to put your pieces.

Story Recall:
Make up a story using the characters and objects on the board. Then, use the board to help your
child recall what happened by looking at the pictures. You can also work on sequencing by including
concepts such as first, next, and last.
