The “Big Game” Football Theme in Speech Therapy

Football activities in speech therapy

Football Theme in Speech Therapy

We have fun celebrating the “BIG GAME” every February with a football theme in speech. I love Peyton Manning – former quarterback for the Colts and Broncos! I went to the University of Tennessee at the same time he was our quarterback, so weโ€™re like BFFsโ€ฆhe just doesnโ€™t know it. Anyway, I made this fun Lap Book the year he played in the Super Bowl and I update it every year. It's an easy, interactive way to have fun with a football theme in speech therapy!ย 

Did you know Peyton had a cleft palate at birth? He had several surgeries to repair itโ€ฆI love the tie into our speech world. You can read about it here: ย http://karlschonborn.com/peyton-mannings-cleft-palate-super-bowl-qb-faced-challenges/
OLDER STUDENTS:
One language component I always focus on with my older kids is the team mascots! We research, discuss, and compare the two- this year: BUCCANEERS vs. CHIEFS. We look at WHY teams would pick those to represent their team. Look at symbolism – (a concept carries over into their literature classes!)
I also like to compare/contrast the cities (industry, climate, etc.) of the 2 teams. This year, 2021, Kansas City vs. San Fransisco – great differences here!
Here is a completed lap book – I update it every year.

Football Lapbook for Speech Therapy:

Cover-
  • team name and mascots
Inside –
  • Left: a short writing prompt for the student to say WHO they think will win and WHY (challenge them to come up with at least one reason.)
  • Center: a football field that you can use for descriptive writing (I used the EET method). The students can color the field after completing it.
  • Right side: a flap at the top is a pocket for their football โ€œpracticeโ€ words (get it, practice?)

If the lap book is too much, check out this football craft!

To download the football lap book, just enter your information below and I will send it to you!

Thanks! Now go check your email to download the Super Bowl activity! -Ashley
