This is an important tool for speech therapy when you need to focus on breathing. The objectives of the blowing tower activity are:
- Strengthen the breathing volume, create a controlled rhythm
- Train a child to control his breathing and exhale softly
- Strengthen the lip muscles
To play this game, the child blows through a straw. The ball must be blown at different speeds to cover different distances. This practice strong, consistent and controlled airflow. Children often really enjoy this activity and like to make it a competition or timed exercise, which helps them stay engaged during therapy sessions or a class.
