50 Pages of Articulation, Phonology, Language, Vocabulary, Sequencing & Play-Based Speech Therapy Activities
Make Halloween therapy easy to plan with this 50-page printable speech therapy bundle filled with seasonal activities for articulation, phonology, expressive language, vocabulary, describing, sequencing, grammar, and more.
This packet was designed to give SLPs a variety of ways to target speech and language goals without needing a completely different activity for every child on the caseload. Use the same Halloween theme across sessions while easily changing the level, target sound, or language goal.
Inside you’ll find a mix of cut-and-paste activities, coloring pages, interactive crafts, game boards, picture-based language activities, articulation practice, minimal pairs, sequencing scenes, mazes, and open-ended materials.
What’s Included
👻 Describing + Vocabulary Activities
Use playful Halloween characters to work on adjectives, sentence formulation, attributes, and descriptive language.
Children can design ghosts to match words such as spooky, silly, sad, scary, slimy, stinky, sweet, and sleepy, then use those same concepts to describe completed pictures.
Additional activities encourage children to describe what a ghost has using sentences such as “Boo has a…”, providing an easy way to work on vocabulary, sentence expansion, and repeated grammatical structures.
You'll also find pumpkin color activities that can be used for following directions, color vocabulary, sentence formulation, and describing.
🍬 Trick-or-Treat Language Activities
Halloween becomes the context for functional expressive language practice.
Children can match trick-or-treaters with their favorite candy while practicing phrases such as “I like…”, making the activity useful for requesting, preferences, vocabulary, and sentence formulation.
There is also a Halloween game board with prompts such as naming three foods, costumes, places, round objects, things that fly, and things seen outside—great for categorization, semantic organization, word retrieval, and expressive language.
😊 Feelings + Emotional Vocabulary
The bundle includes a Pumpkin Feelings activity targeting emotions including happy, surprised, excited, sad, angry, and bored.
Use it for labeling emotions, describing facial expressions, making predictions, generating situations that might cause each feeling, or building sentences around emotional vocabulary.
Articulation Activities
A large portion of the packet is devoted to making speech-sound practice interactive rather than relying only on traditional drill cards.
👻 Streamer Ghost Crafts
Cut out target-word streamers and attach them to a ghost to create a speech therapy craft that also provides repeated articulation practice.
Targets include:
/s/ in initial, medial, and final positions
/b/, /m/, and /p/ targets with plural words
Vocalic /r/ including AR, OR, and ER words
S-blends, including SK, SL, SM, SN, ST, and SW targets
These can be used for single-word productions, repeated trials, phrases, sentence generation, or carryover.
🧙 Initial /R/ Riddles
The “What Is Witch Thinking About?” activity provides clues whose answers begin with /r/, giving children an opportunity to practice articulation while also using inferencing and vocabulary skills.
Target words include rope, rose, write, read, ride, rug, road, rain, red, and rake.
🛹 Sentence-Level Practice
The “Who Is Riding the Skateboard?” activity uses the repeated carrier phrase:
“The ___ is riding the skateboard.”
This provides a predictable sentence structure for practicing longer utterances while describing Halloween characters.
Trick-or-Treat Articulation
Children cut out candy pieces featuring their target words and add them to a jack-o'-lantern trick-or-treat bucket.
The bundle includes a blank/open-ended version that can be customized for any speech target.
Specific speech sound pages include:
Bilabials: bee, boat, pea, peach, moon, mouse, web, whale, beep, mop.
/SH/ mixed positions: ship, shape, sheep, shoe, mushroom, marshmallow, wash, push, dish, cash.
/CH/ mixed positions: chin, chick, chain, chair, beachball, lunchbox, bench, witch, catch, couch.
/L/ mixed positions: light, love, log, lion, lips, balloon, lollipop, well, bell, ball.
Use these pages for repetitions, phrases, sentence generation, turn taking, or home carryover.
👹 Feed the Monster & Feed the Ghost
The packet includes monster and ghost activities that can be used as motivating “feed the character” games.
One activity targets three-element consonant clusters with words including:
shrink, shrub, straw, strap, spring, screw, screwdriver, scrape, street, string, scribble, and scream.
These pages are especially useful when you want high numbers of repetitions without the session feeling like a worksheet.
Phonology + Minimal Pairs
The packet also includes Fall Minimal Pairs materials designed for phonological intervention.
One set specifically targets final consonant deletion, using contrasts such as bee/beat, bow/boat, boo/boot. The packet explicitly frames minimal pairs as a way to target phonological sound contrasts in a functional, meaningful way.
Additional minimal-pair materials include contrasts such as me/meet, may/make, and my/might, along with phrase-level practice opportunities.
Grammar + Singular/Plural Practice
Use the Ghosts Eating Singular and Plural Words activity to contrast forms such as:
foot/feet, tooth/teeth, leaf/leaves, child/children, and mouse/mice.
The packet also includes visuals for sorting or contrasting singular vs. plural, allowing you to expand the activity with your own target words.
Sequencing + Narrative Language
Several Halloween picture sequences are included for targeting first, next, then, and finally.
Scenes feature Frankenstein interacting with a bat, a ghost, and a jack-o'-lantern, as well as a witch who loses her broom and ultimately rides a vacuum cleaner instead.
Use these pages to work on:
🔎 “What Did Mummy Eat?”
A visual search activity encourages children to inspect the mummy’s stomach and determine which foods or objects were eaten.
Choices include candy, pizza, hot dogs, beetles, ice cream, fish, popcorn, pickles, crayons, ants, and grass.
This can be used for visual attention, vocabulary, sentence formulation, past tense “ate,” answering questions, or articulation carryover.
🎯 Spin & Say Articulation Games
Use a pencil and paperclip to create a simple spinner. Children land on a Halloween character, select a word from the corresponding column, practice it, and color the picture.
A blank Spin & Say board is included so you can add your own targets.
Pre-made articulation boards include:
Initial /CH/ with words such as chop, chair, chain, chicken, cheese, chocolate, and chips
Initial /SH/ with words such as shop, ship, shoe, shower, sheep, shovel, and shapes
Initial /J/ with words such as jump, juice, jam, jacket, jelly, jungle, jaguar, and jigsaw
Initial /L/ with words such as light, Lego, lantern, lamb, llama, leaf, lion, and look
Medial /L/ with words such as balloon, jelly, dollar, pillow, elephant, lollipop, sailboat, toilet, and salad
🕸️ Halloween Speech Mazes
Finish the session with a Halloween maze while practicing speech sounds along the way.
The packet includes an S-blend maze featuring targets such as skate, skull, ski, school, score, slide, sloth, slime, slice, and sled.
There is also an initial /R/ maze using words including rain, rug, rollercoaster, roof, write, row, ribbon, raccoon, rainbow, and rocket.
Both black-and-white and color versions of the maze activities are included in the packet.
This Bundle Is Great For
Speech-language pathologists can use these activities for individual sessions, small groups, articulation therapy, language therapy, mixed speech-language groups, seasonal therapy centers, home practice, or October homework.
Many activities can also be adapted across skill levels. A child might simply label a picture, while another child can use the same picture in a phrase, sentence, description, story, or conversational response.
