Summer Slide Deck

Looking for something fun to capture your preschoolers, kindergartners and young elementary aged students during Teletherapy sessions? Are you looking for a fun activity to work on visual perceptual , fine motor and handwriting skills? Grab your FREE Summer Slide Deck below.

Summer is right around the corner.

I know how hard it’s been to keep the attention of your students while we finish up the last few weeks of school.

My students have really been enjoying these hide and seek inspired slide decks throughout the school year so I’ve created one last one for this school year to end the note on something fun!

This Summer slide deck will pair the excitement of guessing the hidden object behind the sun to challenge those visual perceptual skills and then focus on some writing or drawing tasks (for younger students).

This is a great activity to use as a brain break or after some writing instruction to reinforce concepts of letter formation, sizing, spacing and/or spelling.

Use the writing prompt at the end for older students to work on writing their summer bucket lists.

There are many opportunities to customize this one to meet several student’s needs (my favorite kind of activities so I spend less time planning!)

Summer Slide Deck for Teletherapy

This is a fun slide deck with a Summer theme can work on the following skills:

  • Visual figure ground (being able to locate something in a busy background)

  • Visual closure (Being able to identify an object when only seeing a portion of it)

  • Visual attention (waiting for the next hidden object to appear on screen)

  • Receptive and Expressive Language (could target “wh” questions, vocabulary, beginning/ending sounds, colors, shapes, etc.).

  • Fine motor skills (Practice writing the words, sentences or draw a picture)

Summer Visual Perceptual Activities

There are 9 different Spring inspired objects hidden behind the sun to challenge your little one’s visual figure ground, visual attention and visual closure skills. They include:

  • beach ball

  • sunglasses

  • ice cream

  • sports

  • watermelon

  • bicycle

  • pool

  • camping

  • flip flops

The first slide will have only a small part of the object revealed.

The second slide will have half of the object revealed.

The third slide will reveal the hidden object and have the printed word.

How to challenge visual perceptual and fine motor skills:

  • You can grade this activity up/down by increasing or decreasing the speed at which you change from slide to slide.

  • Have students copy the word onto paper or write a sentence using the word.

  • Add a memory challenge by saving the writing practice until the end of the game. Test your student’s memory to see how many words they can remember.

  • For older students, use it as an opportunity to self-correct their handwriting. Check for spacing, letter formation, sizing, placement and spelling and use the writing prompts at the end for more independent writing practice.
