These Early Language Activities for Speech Therapy provide a comprehensive collection of engaging activities, therapy plans, visuals and caregiver materials for supporting young children with emerging language skills.
Designed for early intervention and preschool speech therapy, this bundle includes six complete Early Language Units covering common early vocabulary and language targets. Each unit combines play-based and adult-directed activities with practical session planning materials, digital activities, visuals and caregiver handouts.
The activities are designed for late talkers, preschool children and children with language delays, particularly those developing their early vocabulary and beginning to use single words.
With printable and digital materials included, the bundle provides a flexible collection of early intervention speech therapy activities that can be used across in-person therapy, teletherapy, play-based sessions and caregiver coaching.
⭐ Early Intervention Speech Therapy Activities in One Bundle
Rather than providing isolated worksheets or activities, each Early Language Unit gives you a collection of materials centred around a specific early language theme.
The units are informed by research and evidence-based language intervention approaches, including Focused Stimulation, and are designed to provide children with repeated, meaningful opportunities to hear and learn carefully selected target words.
Activities include a combination of play-based learning, structured activities, interactive digital resources, songs, books, visuals and everyday routines, allowing therapists to target early language in different contexts while maintaining a consistent vocabulary focus.
Therapist activity plans and caregiver handouts are also included to support planning, language facilitation and carryover beyond the therapy session.
⭐ What’s Included in the Bundle?
This Early Intervention Speech Therapy Bundle contains six complete Early Language Units:
- Farm
- Transport
- Verbs
- Body Parts
- Clothing
- Food & Drink
Each unit includes its own targeted vocabulary, activity ideas, therapy materials, visuals and supporting information.
Purchasing the complete bundle saves 30% compared with purchasing all six Early Language Units separately.

⭐ Evidence-Informed Early Language Intervention
The Early Language Units are informed by research and established approaches to early language intervention, including Focused Stimulation.
Focused Stimulation involves providing children with frequent models of selected language targets during meaningful interactions and activities, without requiring the child to imitate or produce the target.
The activities therefore provide children with multiple opportunities to hear selected vocabulary across a range of contexts.
Each Early Language Unit targets 12 pre-selected words, with the Body Parts Unit targeting 14 words. Target selection was informed by child language development research and developmental language norms, alongside consideration of different word types.
Information explaining the rationale and research behind the approach is included within the individual units.
⭐ Who Are These Early Language Activities For?
These activities have been designed primarily for young children who are at the single-word stage of language development or who have gaps in their early vocabulary and language skills.

- Late talkers

⭐ Play-Based, Printable & Digital Speech Therapy Activities
The bundle contains a mixture of child-led and adult-directed early language activities, giving therapists flexibility in how the resources are used.
Play-based activities provide opportunities to model target vocabulary during engaging interactions, while the printable and digital resources can be used to provide additional repetition and practice.
This means activities can be incorporated into:
- Play-based speech therapy
- Early intervention sessions
- Preschool language therapy
- Individual or small-group sessions
- Teletherapy
- Caregiver coaching
- Home practice and everyday routines
The included caregiver materials and daily-routine ideas also make it easier to support families to create additional opportunities for children to hear and experience target vocabulary outside therapy sessions.
⭐ Designed to Make Early Language Therapy Easier to Plan
Each unit brings together the therapy rationale, target vocabulary, activity planning, visuals, activities and caregiver support materials needed to work on a specific early language theme.
Rather than having to find separate activities for each target, therapists can select from a range of ready-to-use materials while maintaining a consistent language focus across sessions.
With six themed units included, the complete bundle provides a substantial bank of speech therapy activities for toddlers and preschool children that can be revisited and adapted according to each child’s needs.
