Music and Party Picture Cards

About this resource

A picture card for every word -- instruments and a birthday, twenty-three everyday pictures in all. Hold up a card and ask what it is; the child names the picture. This is a naming and data-collection task, not a lesson about music or parties, and the file never decides what counts as a correct answer; that stays your own scoring rule.

WHAT IS INCLUDED -- 19 pages, 383 type-in fields

Picture Cards

• 23 picture cards in full color, each a big cut-apart piece laid edge to edge in a 6-across grid (four rows, the last row five wide) so cutting is a few straight lines -- 12 music pictures (trumpet, violin, saxophone, piano, maracas, flute, drum, banjo, accordion, headphones, bell, radio) and 11 party pictures (party popper, pinata, cupcake, candy, lollipop, ice cream cone, doughnut, cookie, juice box, ticket, dancer)
• The same 23 cut pieces again as an ink-saver set in pure black outlines, for the photocopier

Probe And Track

• 3 quick picture probe forms (A and B, 8 pictures each; C, 7 pictures -- 23 does not split three ways evenly) that together cover the whole bank with no picture repeated on more than one
• Full-Deck Probe -- all 23 pictures on one sheet, with a verbatim column for what was actually said
• Data Log -- 17 rows: date, form, correct, out of, percent, notes
• Percent Graph -- 14 probes across, 0-100 percent grid, a field for the team's own criterion
• Caseload Summary -- 16 rows: student, baseline, current, trend, decision

Share And Write

• Practice at Home -- a family update built from six of the same pictures used in session, a weekly practice table, and lines for the words a family noticed outside of practice time
• Phrase Bank -- 21 observable-language starters across 6 groups (accuracy, what was said, carryover, the log and graph, the caseload page, the next probe)
• Filled Example -- an invented student, eight probes across three differently sized forms, every percent re-counted from its own row

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the log, graph, caseload page, family page, and probe-form headers, or print and use a pen. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document, and it is not a norm-referenced or standardized test.

It carries no elicitation, cueing or modeling script. It does not decide what counts as a correct name for a picture, a criterion, or a typical rate for naming these items -- every one of those is this clinician's own call, written once and reused every session. Pictures replace the printed word list a child cannot yet read; they do not replace the clinician's scoring rule.

Who This Is For

Speech-language pathologists and special education teams with young or pre-reading students on a vocabulary or expressive-language naming goal, and the families who get the practice page sent home.
