I have always been fascinated [read: jealous] of bilingual therapists…or any person who is fortunate enough to be able to speak more than one language. I love listening to other languages and have taken my fair share of courses. But, I went to high school in a tiny county and my Spanish teacher was also a football coach from the country, who spoke the language in his southern accent. Very nice man. Should not have been teaching Spanish. Needless to say, this comedy routine did not result in a whole lot of learning the language. Fast forward to now. I was so excited when Becky contacted me and asked about interest in making materials for bilingual SLPs. YES, please! So, we have something pretty special for you guys!
You may (or may not!) remember my Snowmen Language download, which featured Winter Vocabulary Bingo…well, the lovely Becky Maya translated the entire activity, then I added it into the document and now we have a Spanish version!!!
It is the exact same as the English version, with 4 different bingo cards containing winter vocabulary, as well as 2 blank cards.
There are 12 calling cards with definitions!
You can download this freebie HERE!
I would really love to hear some feedback on this! What do you think? Is this something that you would like to see more of?
![Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) play a crucial role in children's language development. One often overlooked but highly beneficial area to incorporate into speech therapy sessions is print knowledge. Understanding the importance of print knowledge can enhance therapy outcomes and foster literacy skills in children. I recently worked on a paper with some colleagues about the importance […]](https://i.pinimg.com/236x/ce/7f/bd/ce7fbd4a90a9683531d8b43d60ee2a68.jpg)

LOVE THIS! I am not a bilingual therapist, but I work in a school that 86% of the population is Spanish dominant! Yikes! I have about 5 years of Spanish classes under my belt from high school and college. After 3 years of almost all Spanish IEPs my receptive Spanish is improving. Expressive not so much. I would love to use these card or at least give them to my students for homework. Thanks for making this…are more in the works? I am new to SLP blogs http://queenspeech.blogspot.com
YAY! I think we will definitely do more! Excited about this and so happy to see the response we are getting 🙂
Yes yes yes!!!!
I am a bilingual SLP-Assistant (in grad school working toward my masters at the moment as well!), and I work with at least 75% Spanish-speaking kids. I am one of only two bilingual clinicians in our whole district, and the need is great. That being said, I am also a religious follower of your blog and others and love the ideas you present and materials you create! Sometimes I’ll purchase something and then white out the text, write/type in the Spanish, and then make another copy. There are so so so many great ideas out there, but sometimes they just aren’t accessible for those of us that work with Spanish-speaking populations or they would take so long to adapt that we might as well just create our own from scratch.
So yes, as a full time SLP-A and full time grad student looking for ways to utilize quality materials in the therapy room and save valuable time in creating them, I GREATLY appreciate this freebie and your interest in delving into the world of Spanish materials!
Thanks so much!
So glad to hear that Elise! Thank you for your feedback! Keep your eyes peeled, more are on the way 🙂
