Colorful Semantics is a structured language intervention designed to support the development of language and communication skills, particularly in children with speech and language difficulties. This resource includes visual cue cards to remind children of the colors for each type of word. It has the four standard colorful semantics colors for who, what doing, what and where but then also has four extra cards for how, who to, when and what like.

Why do you need this?

Colorful Semantics uses color coded cards to help children to learn the important elements of a sentence and how to join them together in the correct order. By visually representing each part of the sentence with a specific color, learners can better understand the structure and meaning of sentences, as well as the relationships between words.

How and when might you use this?

This approach is often implemented through a variety of interactive and hands-on activities, such as sentence building games, storytelling, and picture-based exercises. It can be tailored to the individual needs and abilities of learners, making it suitable for use in both classroom settings and speech and language clinics.

What’s included?

8 Visual cue cards for ‘who’, ‘what doing’, ‘what’, ‘where’, ‘what like’, ‘who to’, ‘how’ and ‘when’.

The tags are designed to save teachers time while still providing a memorable experience, which is always a win during the busy holiday season.

What makes these tags truly special is their versatility and ease of use. Simply print, cut, and hole punch the top of the ribbon, then attach the tag around a plastic treat bag or directly to the playdough container. The tags come pre-designed with cute, festive fonts, but you can also customize them to your liking with the PowerPoint editable version. This flexibility allows teachers to personalize each tag for their students, adding names or special messages, making every gift feel extra special.

For greater durability, the tags can be printed on either standard copy paper or cardstock, ensuring they hold up well as part of a gift.

Place the filled candy canes between the jar and the label without pasting them. If desired, you can use blu-tack to keep them in place.
