Articulation and speech-sound activities for kids

Pick activities from your child's current level, and move up only when it feels easy.

Listening level

  • Thumbs up when you hear the sound in a word
  • Sort pictures or toys into "has the sound" and "doesn't"
  • Spot the silly mistake when you say a word wrong on purpose

Word level

  • Treasure hunts and naming games
  • Ten words, one or two tries each
  • Board-game turns earned by practice words

Phrase and sentence level

  • "I see a ___" with target words
  • Silly sentence building
  • Retelling a favorite story using target words

Conversation level

Pick a short daily moment — describing a drawing, dinner talk — to listen for the sound in natural speech. Keep it light.
