Halloween Speech Therapy Activities and Crafts

I have some fun (and still educational) Halloween speech therapy activities rounded up for today’s post! I hope you find something useful for your caseload.

Halloween Speech Therapy Activities:

Halloween crafts for speech therapy.

I love a good craft! And I love a good game – wait a craft and game in one? Sign me up!

Roll-a-Pumpkin is a roll-and-glue activity. Gluing is often easier for students with minor fine motor challenges than a roll-and-draw activity.

Whether you use this in a small group or an individual session, y ou can have students work on  requesting a turn, passing the dice, stating the number and piece they rolled, and requesting any materials they need!

If you are looking for a craft to keep your students’ hands busy while working on articulation or language goals , you could try this adorable vampire craft ! The candy corn pieces have articulation or language targets on them. Students can practice each target while they color, cut, and then glue to get more trials in!

Halloween Speech Therapy Sensory Bins

To set up a sensory bin, grab a medium plastic storage container with a lid. Then you can pick your “filler.” The filler will take up the bulk of space in your sensory bin. My go-to filler is dried beans – for a Halloween sensory bin dried black beans would be great!

Filler Ideas:

• dried black beans
• rice (you can die it orange)
• dried pasta
• cooked spaghetti noddles (Undercook the pasta and then run it under cold water)
• aquarium gravel (not taste-safe)

Next, you need fun, small items to go in your bin . I usually go to the Dollar Tree and stock up on whatever. From past years I have collected spider erasers, spider rings, small snakes, eyeballs, and skulls.

Don’t forget to add scoops (like measuring cups, spoons, etc.) and some smaller bowls for sorting items.

With a Halloween Sensory Bin for Speech Therapy, you can work on:

• labeling items
• combining two words (purple snake)
• describing items
• sorting by color
• sorting by size
• making “scary sounds”
• concepts in/out, under/over
• you can also print out articulation targets and hide them in the bin

Halloween Game: Language Bingo

This Bingo game can work for 1:1 sessions or small groups. You can choose whether you focus on Halloween vocab (kind of like playing Zingo with a Halloween theme), riddles/inferences, or WH- questions.

There is even an option to print black & white boards that students can color in to mark their spaces. The “two-step directions” calling cards are made to go with these black and white boards.

Halloween Following Directions Worksheets

Do your students love to color? It can be a calming activity for many students.

If you have students working on auditory comprehension skills/following directions goals, these Halloween Following Directions Coloring Sheet s are for you! They are print-and-go and feature 1-step and 2-step directions including temporal directions.

Halloween Speech Therapy Books

This post contains affiliate links, which means we could receive a commission if you click a link and purchase something that we have recommended.

• If You’re Spooky and You Know It by Aly Fronis and Jannie Ho: This is a play on the classic song with a Halloween twist! During the read, you can work on following simple directions by having the students do the action called out and talk about the adjectives such as “spooky” and “hairy.” Expand the activity by having students come up with their own combinations of adjective and action (i.e. “If you’re ____ and you know it, ______.”)
• Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman: This cute book uses repetitive language which is great for letting students fill-in familiar language and predict what might happen next. It also has a nice social skills lesson about working together!
• Skeleton Hiccups by Margery Cuyler: This book only has a phrase or sentence on each page, but it includes lots of fun, silly illustrations that can serve as conversation starters with your students!

Halloween Category Sorting

Work on Halloween vocabulary and categorization skills with this Halloween sorting activity . You can use sorting mats or print-and-go worksheets.

Halloween-Themed Categories Included:

• animals (nocturnal)
• Halloween Characters
• Halloween activities
• spooky places
• things for a witch
• jack-o-lanterns

Halloween WH- Questions with Visual Choices

If the Bingo game above would be overwhelming for your students who are working on answering Wh- Questions, then these Halloween Wh- Question Cards might be perfect! They include lots of visuals to help your students with comprehension of both the question and the answer choices. (There’s also a  BOOM Cards version here )

I like to use this  FREE Wh- Types Chart  to teach (and prompt) the different types of Wh- Questions.

RELATED READ: Using Visuals to Teach WH- Questions

Halloween Short Stories with WH Questions

Looking for slightly more challenging WH- questions? These Halloween short stories (about a paragraph long) are perfect for students working on differentiation between WH question types or for students working on auditory comprehension and memory recall .

This set includes three levels of support:

• Level 1: Includes multiple choices with pictures. Students can cut and paste the answers.
• Level 2: Includes written multiple choices. Students can cut and paste the answers.
• Level 3: Students write-in their answers to the WH questions.

Halloween Speech Therapy Activity: “Favorite Things about Halloween” Booklet

Who doesn’t love talking about their favorite things? I like this Halloween Favorite Things booklet because it is “errorless” and focuses on sharing opinions. (Just because there are no “right” answers, doesn’t mean there aren’t tons of opportunities to practice language skills – like social skills, fall vocabulary, turn taking, etc.)

The booklet is a fun activity that encourages sharing opinions with peers for students who benefit from visual choices.  (Plus, it can be  differentiated, making it perfect for speech groups !)

Halloween Articulation Practice

I can’t leave out articulation activities in my list of Halloween speech therapy activities! Spice up typical practice with a Halloween-themed set of BOOM Cards where students “feed the monsters” to work on those articulation drills!

I hope some of these activity ideas will work for your caseload too!

Halloween Activities for Speech Therapy

Halloween is almost here! As children get excited about costumes, jack o’lanterns, and candy, now is the perfect time to harness their excitement and work on speech and language skills. Spend quality time with your child while enjoying Halloween-themed activities. 

To celebrate this spooky holiday, I’ve compiled some fun activities that you can easily incorporate into your speech therapy sessions to target various speech and language goals.

Many of these activities and worksheets are from my Halloween Vocabulary Building Product , which is jam-packed with fun ways to learn Halloween themed vocabulary associated with this holiday.

Amazon affiliate links have been included. 

Read some books about Halloween

There are so many wonderful, interactive books about Halloween! I’ve written the following blog posts that explain how to use Goodnight Goon , Go Away Big Green Monster ! Mouse’s First Halloween , and I t’s Pumpkin Day, Mouse in speech therapy sessions. Other books that I like are Room on a Broom , Little Blue Truck’s Halloween , The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything and my recent discovery of What Do You Say When a Monster Says Boo! This last book will appeal to children who have younger siblings. The young sister (aka the monster) is perpetually annoying her older brother with various antics.  The book repeatedly asks,”What do you do when a monster…”does a certain prank or stunt. It is followed by what you could do versus what you should do.

Say, Color, & Display 

Need a simple table-top activity to calm your students? Maybe your speech students are coming back from recess or gym or are thrilled about an upcoming event and are in the yellow zone (aka this is a reference to Zones of Regulation). Let’s guide them into the green zone by coloring!  Grab some crayons, colored pencils, or markers and get coloring as it can relax the brain and allow students to focus on vocabulary related to Halloween. These unique Say, Color, and Display coloring sheets are a fantastic way for students to see how to make the first sound in the word  – see the visual mouth cue in the top left corner? To change it up, have the students color their sheet behind a folder so they cannot see each other’s coloring page. At the end, they can reveal their finished product and compare and contrast the similarities and differences. 

Circle and Say Worksheets

Receptive and expressive vocabulary skills can be targeted with these interactive worksheets. For instance, before having the child circle the Halloween vocabulary, ask him or her to point to a word (e.g. point to the ghosts, the pumpkins, the spiders).  These worksheets also provide a context to discuss Halloween. The discussion can be modified and scaffolded based on the student’s abilities. Print these worksheets and ask students to circle then say the Halloween vocabulary . They can also be used digitally with annotation tools on zoom or used on an ipad. To have FOREVER – simply laminate and then children can use dry erase markers to find the halloween vocabulary. 

Mini Pumpkins and Vocabulary Cards

Print and cut out the Halloween Vocabulary cards. Fold each card then shove into each pumpkin (students can do the shoving!). Take turns removing the folded vocabulary word and practice saying the word, defining the word, using the word in a sentence or describing the Halloween object. To target receptive language, begin by having your student point to each vocabulary word (e.g. point to the ghost, point to the Haunted house, etc) 

Scatter vocabulary puzzle pieces featuring Halloween vocabulary on a table- top or floor and watch your students put them together and say the words! I laminate the puzzle pieces so it’s super easy to disinfect !   (Amazon affiliate links are included for your convenience.)

Feed Max the Monster

Max is a friendly monster who has an insatiable appetite. He’s not a picky eater and prefers a varied diet of sweets, fast food, insects, and other earthly things. 

Grab a box (tissue box or shoe box), the cards included in my Halloween Vocabulary Building Product , and some Velcro tabs and have a blast using this over and over again during your speech therapy sessions! I wear my green witch’s finger to point and name each picture and shake the box and make chewing sounds (“hmmmm” “yum, yum, yum, yum”) each time a student puts the food item in his mouth. 

Working on articulation? Then change Max’s name to one that has the student’s target sound! For instance, earlier this week Max became Victor and then Sam because I had clients who were working on the /v/ and /s/ sounds!

Graveyard Pudding in a Cup

Everybody loves making fun, delicious treats! This Halloween-themed graveyard pudding cup is a great way to practice vocabulary. Target sequencing, listening and following directions, describing, using verbs and so much more. At the end, enjoy a delicious treat!

Kids will love decorating their chocolate pudding cups with oreo cookie crumbles, gummy worms, and candy tombstones. Can’t find the candy tombstones, no worries! Substitute with candy corns or candy pumpkins!

Guess What I Am! Print and Go Sheets 

Print this worksheet and give it to students to cut, solve, and then glue the correct vocabulary word to the riddle. It’s an ideal homework assignment or can be used in your speech therapy session when you’re having a busy day and need something easy to implement – just print and go! Or laminate and use velcro tabs to use this FOREVER and save paper. 

Big Green Monster in a Cup

I had a blast making this Big Green Monster in a Cup and so did my clients. First scoop green/lime jello into a cup, Next, top with the pink Good and Plenty candies, then draw the monster’s face on the cup, and finally eat and enjoy!

We started by reading the classic, Go Away, Big Green Monster ! This is a GREAT book to encourage language skills. My blog post describes why I like it so much and explains how it facilitates learning the names of our facial features, some common first words, and the importance of using our words to reject or protest something.

Then, we made this interactive and fun snack! Grab the step-by-step directions in my resource library .

Pin the Eyes of the Monster Game 

Everybody loves Pin the Tail on the Donkey, but have you ever heard of Pin the Eyes on the Monster? This Halloween inspired game is perfect for children who need to get out of their seats! 

Start by tying a bandana over a child’s eyes, and spin them around a few times. Before tying a bandana over the child’s eyes and spinning them around, to put the googly eyes on the monster, ask them to perform a specific task related to their speech and language goals.

I hope this post has been helpful, and if you try out any of these activities please share a picture and tag me! I would love to see them! Enjoy your Halloween!
