Materials Monday - Expanding Expressive and Receptive Language

Working on labeling verbs, attributes, and nouns is always a goal for my preschoolers. So many of them have limited expressive and receptive language skills, and expanding their verb, attribute, and noun repertoire can lead to improved expressive and receptive language abilities. Therefore, I'm posting a quick activity that targets these areas.


The activity is really simple. If the student is working on receptive skills, simply say the prompts on the game board and have the student point to/cover the box that identifies the correct object. If the student is working on expressive skills, ask the student an appropriate question like, "What is he doing?" or "What is this?" and wait for the student to answer. Use appropriate prompting if necessary.

You can also use this activity to follow one-step directions!

Take a look at the sample board below (verbs):


What do you think? Quick and easy? That was the goal!

I know this is a small freebie today, but I would love some feedback. If you like activities like this, let me know and I can create more!
