The holidays are the perfect time to build language skills—without it feeling like work! From singing carols to festive outings, everyday traditions create natural opportunities for communication, connection, and learning. Here’s how you can target language during each activity:
🎶 **Sing carols** to build vocabulary and expressive language
🍪 **Bake and decorate cookies** to follow directions, sequence steps, target action words, describing words, and requesting
🎄 **Decorate the house or tree together** to practice labeling, colors, and spatial concepts (on, under, next to)
💌 **Make holiday cards** to work on greetings, sentence structure, and spelling
🎁 **Shop for gifts and wrap them** to target categories, describing items, and requesting
🚗✨ **Drive around to see holiday lights** to build vocabulary, encourage commenting, and answer WH-questions
Language learning happens best in real-life moments—especially when they’re joyful and shared ❤️
