Chips, Ranch, & Easter Articulation Fun

Saturday. I've had a splitting headache since yesterday around 8pm and it has yet to completely go away.

That being said, I just had to make a run to Albertson's a little bit ago and pick up some tortilla chips, salsa and ranch dressing. If you're not from Texas or not from the South, you should know that this trifecta is highly addictive and popular among us women down here. You can find many of us sitting at Chili's just getting our chips and salsa on for hours. Personally, I started craving this yesterday at the onset of my headache and finally just decided to give in.

Now that my craving's been conquered and my head is throbbing just a little bit less, I wanted to let ya'll in on Friday therapy going-on's. All of my kiddos were "afternooner's" which gave me time to put together a fun, new Easter-themed game: "Articulation Easter Basket Hunt"!

Using our articulation words/bunny puppet from "Bunny Body Parts"...

Going on an egg hunt...

It's hard to see through my less-than-professional iPhone photography skills, but the idea is that you cut out the hole in the Easter basket and then the kid can move it across the other page and wait for either a carrot or egg to pop into the "viewfinder", so to speak. Then the kid simply produces their target word as many times as is indicated on the egg or carrot! I slowed the activity down by giving them an actually Easter egg to put in a bag as they produced their target word.

All my kiddos thought it was super fun and enjoyed moving the basket around in search of an egg (we only looked for eggs yesterday). Next week I'll be using the same game but have the kids look for carrots, instead.

You can download "Articulation Easter Basket Hunt" in my TpT for a buck or like & share the link on the blog's Facebook page for a chance to win it free! No one has shared the link yet so I will be extending the giveaway until tomorrow (Sunday) night at 6pm. So go share and be the first to grab it! Facebook page is HERE @ Speech-Love-Texas.

Is there a snack popular to your region that you just crave time to time? Is it my beloved chips and ranch?

Let me know in the comments along with your favorite Easter/Spring themed articulation activity floating around right now. :)

Have a fantastic weekend, ya'll!
