Yeti Themed Speech Therapy Activities

Looking for fun Yeti themed speech therapy activities? A playful winter theme is a great way to keep students engaged while targeting important speech and language goals. From articulation to WH-questions, a Yeti theme works beautifully for preschool and elementary students. Below, you’ll find easy, low-prep Yeti themed ideas you can use in individual sessions, small groups, or classroom lessons.

Yeti Themed Speech Therapy Activities

Kids love novelty, and yetis provide just that. They’re a fun step away from classic winter themes like snowmen and penguins, while still feeling seasonal and familiar. A Yeti theme adds a touch of magic to the speech room—and let’s be honest, we all love a good mythical creature.

Yeti Articulation Activities

Yeti Articulation is one of my best-selling winter speech therapy resources. It targets all speech sounds in the initial, medial, and final positions, along with s-blends, r-blends, and l-blends, making it easy to address a wide range of articulation goals.

Each page also includes a visual cue, with a mouth image showing how to move the lips and tongue to produce the sound. This resource is also included (along with all of my yeti themed speech therapy activities) in The Speech is Sweet Club, my membership for speech-language pathologists.

These activity sheets are incredibly versatile and can be used with bingo daubers or dot markers, crayons, or as play dough smash mats. One of my favorite features is how easily these sheets can be reused across multiple sessions. Students can color and decorate their sheet during one session, then use the same sheet as a play dough smash mat during the next session by smashing the target word with play dough after practicing. Planning once and getting multiple sessions out of a single resource is always a win. Be sure to use sheet protectors/dry erase sleeves over the coloring page to ensure the play-doh doesn’t stick to the articulation targets!

Easy Yeti Speech Therapy Crafts

Yetis have quickly become one of my favorite winter characters to use in speech therapy. The February Speech Therapy Crafts packet (also in a bundle or my membership) includes two Yeti templates that work especially well for mixed groups. Students can all create the same craft while targeting different goals, with word targets included for articulation, apraxia, language, and fluency. Get yeti for speech with this no prep activity!

The stuttering sheets include words that work well with fluency-shaping strategies such as light contacts and easy onsets. The language word target sheets address a variety of skills, including past tense verbs, irregular past tense verbs, pronouns, categories, vocabulary, and winter actions. Whether your language groups need category practice or a quick grammar review, these crafts help keep speech therapy sessions fun and engaging.

The apraxia pages target eight different syllable patterns: CV, VC, CVC, CVCV, CVCVC, CVCVCV, CCVC, and CVCC. Finally, the articulation pages include practice for all speech sounds in a variety of word positions. Your students will love these yeti themed speech therapy activities!

Yeti Games and Activities

Yeti in my Spaghetti is a must-have game for your speech room! My articulation printables also pair perfectly with this game!

Yeti Themed Picture Books

Books are some of my favorite therapy tools. They’re a powerful springboard for language and help expand students’ world knowledge. Of course, I had to gather a few children’s books to complement this fun speech therapy theme.

Dear Yeti by James Kwan

Dear Yeti by James Kwan
Two hikers write a series of letters to a yeti! I just love how this book is set up! If you’re a classroom teacher that is working on letter writing then this is a must-have! This is also a wonderful story about friendship and kindness. After reading all of the hikers’ letters, the yeti feels as if they’re his friends. He secretly helps them along their journey and finally reveals himself when they’re in dire need of help! This would be a great book to work on social skills, sequencing, and more! This is one of my son’s favorite yeti-themed books and we read it multiple times a week!

No Yeti Yet by Mary Ann Fraser

No Yeti Yet by Mary Ann Fraser
This is such a clever book and I adore the illustrations! Two siblings go on a yeti hunt! On every page the yeti is hiding, but the kids never see him! This is a great book for describing! The older brother has to describe what a yeti looks like so his little brother will know if he sees one! It has a fun surprise ending too. Unfortunately, this book is now out of print but I highly recommend trying to find it! You can use it in so many different ways in your speech room!

The Thing About Yetis by Vin Vogel

The Thing About Yetis by Vin Vogel
This book is absolutely ADORABLE and perfect for your winter literacy-based therapy sessions! Did you know that Yetis get cold too and sometimes they miss summer? So cute! This would be a great book to use to compare/contrast activities. You can talk about what Yetis do in the winter and what they do in the summer!

I created an AAC book companion to go along with this adorable story! It includes story/communication board, retelling boards, retelling strips, communication pictures, comprehension question cards, and a file folder game! This can be found in my membership, in a Seasonal AAC bundle, or in Winter AAC and Literacy Volume 3.

Bedtime for Yeti by Vin Vogel

Bedtime For Yeti by Vin Vogel
This is an adorable sequel to The Thing About Yetis by Vin Vogel. Little Yeti loses his stuffed yeti and when bedtime comes he’s scared without his friend! This is a great book to target a variety of language skills. For instance, you can talk about different types of emotions/feelings. Yeti experiences a wide array of feelings throughout the story. He’s happy, he’s worried, he’s scared, he’s brave, etc! Students can also compare themselves to the Yeti!

You can download a companion for this book in my membership, in my TPT shop, or as part of a bundle. The bundle features some of my favorite winter book companions!

There are truly so many wonderful yeti books! Have you used this theme before? I hope these ideas were helpful!
