Description
Make language practice fun and interactive with this Fall Leaf Hunt! This open-ended Boom Cards activity is designed for preschool and early elementary students working on functional communication, core vocabulary, and early language skills. Students search for and reveal colorful leaf characters hidden throughout fall-themed scenes. The activity provides repeated opportunities to model and practice language naturally while keeping students engaged in a simple hide-and-find game. Language targets include: 🍁 Core words: GO, STOP, LOOK, SEE, MORE, AGAIN, HELP 🍁 Requesting and commenting 🍁 Following directions 🍁 Prepositions/spatial concepts 🍁 Describing (colors, size, features) 🍁 Answering WHERE and WHAT questions 🍁 Expanding utterances: “See leaf!” → “I see a leaf!” → “I see a red leaf!” 🍁 AAC modeling and aided language stimulation Because this resource is open-ended, there are no required verbal responses. Students can participate using speech, AAC, signs, gestures, or other forms of communication.
