Speech Card Set Activity: What's hiding behind door number...?

I wanted to do an activity that was a little different with the card sets. This time I printed a sheet and left it whole just sliding it into a sheet protector. Then I cut out colorful pieces of cardstock and taped them over each card.

I chose to write numbers on the "doors", but you could also write upper or lowercase letters or draw shapes. The children get to choose a door and lift the flap to see the picture hiding underneath. Then they say the word (or put it in a phrase or sentence). You can either have the child take the door off and keep it or they can just leave the door open. If you leave all the doors on then you can just slide out one card set and replace it with another for the next student or group. All the doors should line up with another sheet.

Alternately, you could leave all of the doors blank. Then, each time the child opens the door and says the word correctly, they can put a sticker on the door. This rewards them, lets them keep track of which doors they've already done, and gives a sense of pride as they fill up all the doors. You could continue to play until all doors have three stickers (or 4, or 5...).

This activity was inspired by a recent post by Elena in which she described using post-its to cover picture stimuli to build anticipation during therapy.
