Plastic Animal Word Lists
The animals I listed below came primarily from the zoo, farm and sea creature pack with a few others
from the “assorted” bin. Please note that I am using these for general educational and speech therapy
purposes so I might use the same animal, at different times, to be: ex. leopard, panther, cheetah or
jaguar depending on a child’s goals. I am fully aware these are different animals!

Phonetic alphabet: I know some SLPs like to have informal assessment tools up their sleeves. Dump a
bunch of these animals onto a play mat and you can elicit a language sample that meets some of your
articulation assessment as well. Animals that you would need to locate in addition to the ones I’ve listed
previously are in parenthesis. Some sounds don’t cooperate. I’ve given some ideas for how to elicit in
brackets.
*Note: These are listed in alphabetic order. Add in the vowels, k and x and you can play alphabet
games.
