PLAY • TALK • LEARN!
Silly Sounds, Songs & Rhymes 🎃
Little children learn a lot through repetition, rhythm and silly sounds!
Songs, rhymes and playful sound games give children opportunities to listen, imitate, take turns, learn new words and experiment with speech sounds — all while having fun.
Try These Together:
Boo, boo, boo! I see YOU! 👻
Pause before “YOU” and see if your child fills it in.
Pumpkin, pumpkin, big and round. 🎃
Roll it, roll it on the ground!
Bat goes flap, flap, flap! 🦇
Flap your arms together while you say it.
Witch goes WHOOSH! 🧙
Stretch out whoooosh and make it dramatic.
Knock, knock, knock — Trick or Treat! 🍬
Pretend to knock on a door and take turns being the trick-or-treater.
1, 2, 3... BOO! 👻
Pause after “3” and let your child anticipate or attempt BOO!
Miss Angie’s Tip: Your child doesn't have to say the whole rhyme. A sound, word, gesture, movement or attempt to fill in the next part all counts as participation. Follow their lead and keep it fun!
Halloween Looks Different for Every Child 💜
Not every child will say “trick or treat.”
Not every child will wear a costume.
Not every child will make eye contact, approach the door, tolerate loud sounds or stay out for very long.
And that's okay.
Children may communicate using speech, signs, gestures, pictures, AAC, pointing, eye gaze — or simply by reaching for a treat.
Halloween doesn't have to look one particular way to be successful.
A little patience, flexibility and kindness can help make Halloween more welcoming for every child.

Thanks for Playing, Talking & Learning with Me! 🎃
I hope you and your child have fun exploring the goodies in their Halloween bag and discovering just how many opportunities for communication and learning can happen during everyday play.
A special thank you to your child’s school for welcoming Miss Angie’s Say & Play and allowing me to share a little Halloween fun with your family!
You don’t need special therapy materials to support communication. Sometimes a Slinky, some bubbles, a sticker, a few pieces of candy — and a little time together — can create wonderful opportunities to
PLAY • TALK • LEARN.
Happy Halloween! 🎃

Have Questions About Your Child’s Communication?
Every child develops differently. If you have questions about your child's speech, language or communication development, I'm happy to help you determine whether a speech and language screening may be appropriate.
