Goodnight Gorilla

We are reading Goodnight Gorilla in class and working on initial /g/ words. Print off 2 pages of each: gorillas and pictures. Cut the pictures out and glue them on the back of the gorillas. Cut around the gorillas as a square in order to make them cards.

You can play memory with your cards (the "matching game") where you lay them face down on the table and flip over two at a time to find matches. Or you can play Go Gorilla (Go Fish)! Make sure you are modeling the good /g/ sounds in every word, and make your children say them with their good /g/ sound.

Thanks to my favorite co-SLP Colie for making these amazing pictures! You can find other great speech activities on her speech blog.
