Simple Speech Therapy Exercises for Children
At I Support Foundation, based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, we understand that every child’s journey with communication is unique. Whether a child is just learning to form words or working through a speech delay, regular practice can make a big difference. One of the most effective ways to support this journey is through speech therapy exercises—fun, interactive activities designed to build speech and language skills in a child-friendly way.
What Are Speech Therapy Exercises?
Speech therapy exercises are structured activities that help children improve:
-
Pronunciation of sounds and words
-
Sentence formation and grammar
-
Listening and comprehension skills
-
Oral motor strength (movement of the lips, tongue, and jaw)
-
Social communication (eye contact, turn-taking, etc.)
These exercises are often recommended by Speech‑Language Pathologists (SLPs) and can be easily practiced at home, school, or during therapy sessions in Lucknow or wherever you are.
Easy and Effective Speech Therapy Exercises for Kids
Here are some simple exercises you can try with your child:
-
Mirror Work
Helps: Speech sounds and mouth movements
How: Sit before a mirror with your child, make sounds like “P,” “B,” “M,” etc., and have them copy you, watching how your lips and tongue move. -
Blowing Bubbles or Whistles
Helps: Mouth muscle strength, breath control
How: Use toys like bubbles, whistles, or straws to encourage controlled exhalation and airflow—plus it’s fun! -
Flashcard Games
Helps: Vocabulary, sound recognition
How: Use or make flashcards with pictures and simple words. Play matching games, ask the child to name pictures, or describe them. -
Reading Aloud Together
Helps: Pronunciation, vocabulary, comprehension
How: Choose a storybook appropriate for the child’s age. Take turns reading, repeat lines, talk about the story. -
Sing Songs with Repetition
Helps: Rhythm, memory, pronunciation
How: Nursery rhymes or songs like “Old MacDonald” or “Wheels on the Bus” are great. Use gestures to help reinforce language. -
Silly Sound Games
Helps: Phonemic awareness, articulation
How: Tongue twisters, “I Spy … starts with S” games, or swapping sounds in words can be playful and helpful. -
Use Everyday Activities for Practice
Helps: Real‑life speech and comprehension
How: Engage the child during chores, cooking, shopping. Label objects, give simple instructions, ask questions, let the child describe what they see.
How Often Should You Do These Exercises?

Aim for 10‑15 minutes daily of fun practice.

Keep sessions light, encouraging, and pressure‑free.

Model correct speech without criticism.
-
Celebrate improvements, however small — they matter!
A Supportive Environment Matters
Children grow best when they feel safe, supported, and encouraged. As caregivers or teachers in Lucknow (or elsewhere), being patient, listening carefully, and giving praise help a lot. A child’s confidence builds when they feel understood.
