Hi, to throw in on this, how about a nursery rhyme, a song, a game with instructions, and a focussed actvity - craft/themed role play?

does this help?

• Puppets & cuddly toys- can be used to motivate a child to talk or vocalise. Puppets with mouths can be used to encourage a child to make specific movements.

• Role play & dressing up- children from the age of 3 upwards tend to enjoy imaginary play. Adults can take on roles & play alongside them.

• Nursery rhymes, songs & musical instruments- can help children to listen and take turns, but also sing & communicate. Some nursery rhymes can help children to practice particular speech sounds.

• Books- can help increase vocabularly and can help children to learn the meanings of words. Some books can help children to participate, for example abook that makes musical sounds when a picture is pressed. Books can also be made specificallly to meet a child’s interests ans so encourage the child to point or vocalise.

• Blowing bubbles & other activities- this is an example of an activity that might be used to encouage children to point or show interest in what they are seeing. Sometimes children will be encouarged to blow bubbles in order to make a specific sound.

I think the easiest is to model and comment on their play, the children learn best from their own interested activity and they have chosen their activity themselves

we also did this and this incorporated speech, communication and language:

you need things of interest to talk about, this is where activities come into place providing they are of the child’s interests. Books play a big part in children’s speech. We have recently shared the book the very hungry caterpillar which the children love to listen to. We extended this by providing a butterfly garden with very small and hungry caterpillars (5 in total), the children loved listening to the book and joining in with the words, they then experienced the factual side of this by watching and exploring new words such as cocoon, eating a nice green leaf to help his/her stomach ache (children saying that the green leaf was medicine for the caterpillar). Talking about what the caterpillars turn into and watching the butterflies being released, this extended every child’s communication and knowledge in one way or another. We also expanded this with a cd and book with the cd unit for them to listen to when they wanted too, we also had the story sack complete with all props for the children to interact with. We also provide designing and mark making equipment in the creative area to encourage them to write as a form of communicating (probably for the older children more but some younger children participated too). You can also incorporate songs for a child to communicate which we sang to the children and the children joined in the song was called “there’s a tiny caterpillar on a leaf wriggle, wriggle” with actions if they didn’t want to participate in singing.
