We are spending a lot of time in my little garden again... watering, planting, cleaning and tidying up... and afterwards there is a great game of "Wriggleworms".
The game is very versatile and more than suitable for speech therapy!
Both phonetically and phonologically this game can be worked with very well. Examples: worm-stay-earth-hole-in-out-pull out!-go in!-Come out-long-short-crawl-crawl.
The semantic field of colours (purple, blue, green, orange), numbers (1 to 3) and the concepts short-long, small-large (and their comparative forms) can be practiced.
In the morphological-syntactic area there are also many possibilities, for example: "Pull the worm out!" - "Are you short or long, little worm?" - "The green worm crawls into the hole." - "This is my worm, that is your worm" - the worm / the worms (plural) - Who is lying next to whom? - the worms hide/search/find in space.
In addition, you need fine motor skills: to grab the worms and pull them out of their garden bed, you need a pair of grippers. This "tool" strengthens the pincer grip of the thumb and index finger and trains them to hold a pencil!
