Here are some ways to use bubbles to help support your child's speech and language development:
1. Encourage eye contact: capture your child's attention before your blow the bubbles. This helps with joint attention skills. 2. Practice turn taking; while handing the bubbles back and forth you can say "my turn" or "your turn". You can also take turns popping the bubbles. 3. Asking questions: If you hand the bubbles to the child with the lid screwed on tight so that they can't open it, that will encourage the child to ask for help. 4. Teaching different sounds: You can work on the /p/ sound when saying "pop", the /b/ sound when saying "bubble" 5. Introducing new vocabulary: Adjectives and action words can be introduced such as "sticky, wet, big, small, clear, blow, pop, play, turn, stomp, again and want". You can also teach body parts for where the bubbles pop on your child (ex: head, arm, foot, shoulder, ear, etc). This is a chart taken from: https://teachingtalking.com/language-activities/
