Make up your own mini golf course right at home! Have your kids show their creative side and develop the golf course! The holes could be nice and short (easy for a hole in one) or long and elaborate (going between rooms). This activity is perfect for incorporating language and can be completely customized for your family!
Speech and Language Connections
Articulation - target your child’s speech sounds while setting up the course, before taking a turn, or by placing “roadblocks” (i.e. items or cards that have your child’s speech sounds) all around the course!
Expressive Language - this activity is great for building vocabulary (e.g. labeling household items), using various prepositional concepts (e.g. put it under the table, over the pad of paper), as well as asking and answering questions (e.g. where is the next hole? who hit the ball farther?).
Receptive Language - have your child help you arrange the course and you can work on 1-2 step directions and/or prepositional concepts (e.g. “put the paper towel roll next to the door).
