Valentine’s Day Themed Activities and Resources for Speech and Language Therapy

Do you need new Valentine’s Day-themed activities and resources for your speech and language therapy sessions? I know for the longest time, I would have my students create valentine’s day cards for their parents and while doing so we would target their articulation sounds, language used to follow directions and give instructions, etc… Although that is still an engaging and functional activity for my students, it does get exhausting doing it session after session and year after year. Check out below for the resources and activities that I will be using this year!

Below you will find my favorite Valentine’s Day-themed resources and activities to incorporate into my own therapy sessions. Hopefully, by sharing with you, you will find some additional tools for your speech toolbelt.
