March Speech Therapy Lesson Plans

Shamrocks, basketball, and bunnies, oh my!  There are many ways that I incorporate these spring themes into my students’ goals. While my therapy sessions don’t solely revolve around holidays, lesson planning around monthly themes gives me a solid base that I can expand on. Read on for ideas on how you can use these spring activities with your students, as well as how to get your free copy of these March-themed speech therapy lesson plans! 

This post contains Amazon affiliate links if you wish to add these book recommendations to your personal library. This is at no cost to you and helps support this blog!Free March Lesson Plans for Speech Therapy

WEEK 1: Carrots and Bunnies

BOOKS: Too Many Carrots I use books as often as possible during therapy sessions. For more details about how I include spring picture books into my March lessons plans, click HERE!

ARTICULATION: Build-A-Face Bunny, Bunny Popper Companion My kids are obsessed with these build-a-face resources and I love that this one is NO PREP! Both activities can be used with mixed groups since each page can have different targets. What makes these even better is that both activities can be used to target ALL your articulation and language goals all week. It’s a total win-win! 🙌  

LANGUAGE: Spring Book Companions, Build-A-Face Bunny, Bunny Popper Companion

WEEK 2: Garden

BOOKS: Up in the Garden, Down in the Dirt, The Night Gardener, And Then It’s Spring

ARTICULATION: Dice and Dot Spring, 50 Articulation Trials (spring page) A dirt sensory bin is the perfect way to include a hands-on activity. It might be a bit messy, but it’s totally worth it!  (You could even throw in some mini carrots from Hobby Lobby, but this is totally optional.) Stick some articulation cards in the dirt and let students dig away. Your students will be talking about it for weeks!

LANGUAGE: Spring Book Companions, Dice and Dot Spring

WEEK 3: St. Patrick’s Day and Basketball

Every March, I let March Madness into my room and the kids love it! We talk about mascots, look at school locations compare/contrast, etc. College athletics also lends itself to talking about the importance of patience and hard work. 

BOOKS: There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Clover, The Boy Who Never Gave Up, How to Catch a Leprechaun How to Catch a Leprechaun is a student favorite (and great for groups!) I supply string and ask that my students bring in items from home like cardboard toilet paper rolls and cleaned out food containers so that they have supplies to build their own leprechaun traps. They go nuts with it and we get a LOT of language with this activity! While they’re busy designing and building their traps, I can track summarizing, verbal, and written goals. Another idea is to have a “leprechaun hunt” with gold candy hidden in a pot as a fun reward! (ROLO candies or chocolate coins work well for this.)

ARTICULATION: Dice and Dot St. Patrick’s Day, Match and Say St. Patrick’s Day, 50 Articulation Trials (basketball page)

LANGUAGE: Dice and Dot St. Patrick’s Day, Match and Say St. Patrick’s Day Both of these activities are NO PREP!

WEEK 4: Easter Eggs

BOOKS: Click, Clack, Peep!, Happy Easter, Mouse! Click, Clack, Peep! is not only adorable, but it’s also great for practicing onomatopoeia and problem/solution. The Mouse books are all classics, but this one in particular is PHENOMENAL for positional and color words!

ARTICULATION: Dice and Dot EasterThis resource is also excellent for mixed groups. It even has articulation and language targets!

LANGUAGE: Dice and Dot Easter, No Prep Language Easter and Spring If no prep resources are your jam, you’ll love these!
