Kids learn best through play. That’s why I love playing games with the kids I work with…it’s a great way to teach speech, language, and social skills in a fun, motivating way.

Today I want to share 5 of my favorite speech therapy games for preschoolers and how they can be used to strengthen your child's communication skills:

If you have a child in your life who's struggling to talk, pronounce words, or express themselves clearly, play can be a great way to help promote those skills. A language-rich environment helps develop communication skills, and games are a great way to do that.

Children develop communication skills at different rates, but if your child doesn't seem to be learning new sentences, following directions, sitting down to play, is difficult to understand, or has difficulty playing with other children, it can be a sign that they need more support to develop these skills.

If you have any concerns, don't wait and see if your child will outgrow their communication difficulties. Seek an evaluation from a speech-language pathologist to see if they're following developmental speech and language patterns or if they need intervention.
