I honestly don't spend a ton of time on my Valentine's Day theme. I usually start on February 1st and spend the first two weeks of February targeting a Valentine's Day Theme. Anyway, here are my Valentine's Day Theme Plans and ideas.
1.) I love these no prep articulation packets. They have great activities for early and late elementary students to target articulation. Plus the worksheets can be sent home for additional practice. And they are NO PREP!
The money saving, year round bundle is available here.
2.) This activity from Monae's Speech House is new to my arsenal. I plan on using it to target pronouns, articulation, basic reinforcement, etc. It looks super cute!
3.) I also have this cute sensory bin activity for my PK-2 aged students to target articulation. It works great as basic reinforcement.
4.) I'm using this Language Packet for my language kiddos. It includes materials to target concepts, grammar, social skills, Tier 2 vocab, etc. It also includes a parent handout to send home at the beginning of the unit. This packet has tons of low prep, print and go, black and white worksheets that require only crayons or a pencil. It also has a few flashcard sets and color ink activities that I printed and laminated to use over and over again.
5.) I love this 100 Hearts Valentine's Day Challenge from Peachie Speechie. It's great for drill with flashcards. The students love using dot markers with it. Low prep and motivating!
6.) I also love this quick drill, pair with any flashcards game. It's called Valentine's Day Zoo. The students are supposed to help the zoo keeper deliver valentines to all the animals in the zoo. They draw animal cards and cross the animals off as they "deliver the valentine." The student who crosses them all off first, wins. This is also great to reinforce animal vocabulary.
7.) We will read "There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Rose" and "Love Monster" during the Valentine's Day Unit. There are a ton of cute activities to go with these books. A quick search on TPT will turn up just about anything you would need.
8.) I bought this packet when my district first started implementing inclusion based speech therapy. I will use the Valentine's Day portion of this packet during my push in therapy activities. This packet is GREAT! It includes TONS of themes and topics, is highly portable, and allows you to easily gather some sample data for the concepts you're teaching. It's not something you are going to get a lot of trials from, but I don't typically "drill" students during push in therapy sessions anyway as I'm trying to work in a more naturalistic context to promote generalization.

9.) I love a good interactive book. I have this cute one from File Folder Heaven to work on spatial concepts. It's great for PreK and Kinder kiddos.

10.) And, of course, I like to keep some themed picture scenes around for a variety of goals. This one is from Katrina Bevan an it's a Freebie!
11.) I also like these play doh mats for my PreK kiddos. They are great for data collection, but I also like to use them as a general reinforcer. For my students using PECs or AAC, we also work on requesting play doh, asking for a specific play doh color, asking for help getting the play doh lid off, etc to complete the pictures.
And that's it! Most groups should be covered through these activities. I can target a ton of goals and these items are all easily transportable among the various buildings I go to. Lesson Plans for the next two weeks are DONE! :) I hope you found something here that you can use in your therapy room. Thanks for stopping by!
