Halloween with children

โ€

๐ŸŽƒ "Sticky fingers, tired feet; one last house, Trick or Treat!"

๐Ÿ‘ฆ It's that time of the year and Halloween is quickly approaching. We want all families to be able to participate in holiday festivities.

๐Ÿ‘ป Go prepared, build your speech toolkit and make it really enjoyable for your little ones!

๐Ÿงก Scroll below to build your child's vocabulary with some suggestions from our speech professionals.

โ€

Did you say "ti ah teet"?

โ€
๐Ÿ‘‰ Word alternatives, use different phrases, making it easier to communicate
  • "Candy or joke"
  • "Ti ah teet"
  • "Whoo Whoo"
  • "Boo"

โ€

โ€๐Ÿ‘‰ Sign language, teach your child to express candy and thank you
  • "Candy": use your index finger, touch it right under your mouth area next to chin and twisting your finger back and forth.
  • "Thank you": take dominant hand to chin, moving slightly down towards the person you're talking to.

โ€

โ€๐Ÿ‘‰ Images icons, write some phrases on cards that suit your child's needs, for example
  • "Trick-or-treat"
  • "Loud noises can be hard for me, please don't jump or scare me"
  • "Thank you for the candy"
