When I was brainstorming ideas for the end of the year, I wanted to create something for my kids and came up with an idea for speechie memory books! You see tons of these for classrooms, but none specifically for speech…until now!
I went with the very cool rockstar theme for this…mostly because I am always telling my kids they are rockstars 🙂
The pages are split into halves for each page of the book you will make. There are 5 full pages with two activities on each. Students will either draw or write their answers on each, then you will cut down the middle line of each page to staple the half pages together to make a book.
They get to write about what they like, learned, and how they met goals. I wanted to include pages which can help them reflect on the year and what they liked or didn't. I think this will help me to learn what I can do better too.
Oh AND there is a color version! You can use whichever is easiest for you (I know most of us are running low on color ink now :)).
You can find this download in my TPT Store! I hope you like it 🙂

This is a great idea! I will have to save it, as my last day with students was today. Unfortunately, the paperwork seems never ending…..

Thank you! I wish I had thought of it sooner!

My favorite end of year activity is jeopardy. I also like to make speech books for summer practice if I have time.

So cute!
Sabrina says
Wow awesome, tomorrow is my last day with one of my students so I might just buy it tonight! 🙂

This is great! I try to get as many speech students together on the last week of school and have a Speech show and tell, where each student presents one thing they accomplished along with tips or encouragement to tell the other students.
Shannon says
Super cute and what a fun idea! My favorite end of the year activity is waving to the buses as they leave on the last day! But seriously, my favorite speech activity is combining different students into groups and making snow cones and playing silly games.

This year I’m trying something new and planning a mini “field day” to review listening and following directions. I’m working on my stations now. We don’t get out until June 21. Wish me luck!

We end the year with a “speech party” usually one for each grade level. We have snacks, I give out accomplishment certificates and we talk about the school year and summer plans. All year long the kids are asking, “When’s the speech party?” It’s funny how such a small gesture can mean so much. They also get to raid the prize box (which is pretty picked over by now)!

My favorite end of the year activity is to play games like last word, catch phrase, jeopardy, etc. i usually save those games for special occasions and end of the year activity when the yearwhen the kids need an extra boost with paying attention and staying motivated!

I love this… especially that it gives students a chance to reflect and summarize their learning! I could see lots of good conversations developing through working on this book. My favorite end of the year activity is to pull out some of those favorite games such as Ned’s Head and Headbandz… highly motivating but still allowing for great practice opportunities.
Denise says
This is SO cute!
Tiffany Dawn says
This is an amazing activity! I have my kiddos do bucket lists around this time of the year. I make them list three things there is a good probability that they will do, and something they would love to do no matter how much it costs or how far away the place is. It seems like the days are just slipping by faster and faster!
Jennifer Getch says
I love using summer activities at the end of school to get my kids even more excited about the hot weather and summer break!!
JenniferC-SLP says
Perfect for the end of the year!

What a neat and creative idea to creat this! Love it! For the end of the year, I like to play games and work on summer/beach theme activities.

This year I made a beach ball to use at the end of the year after reading about the one you made! So fun!
Shannon Giles says
I usually do an ice cream party with all of my speech kiddos during their lunch. It’s fun to just hang out and not worry about keeping data, completing assignments, etc.
Elizabeth McGeehan says
Great idea especially for my 5th graders who are leaving! 🙁
Courtney says
I like to take my kiddos outside and go on scavenger hunts!
Angela Santore says
I like to play games that have a beach/summer theme!

Pizza Party and Jeopardy Game to review skills. Students love it! So fun and they leave with their summer practice packets!
