10 Absurd Wordless Videos that Teach Describing

Wordless Videos Speech Therapy

I love using video in speech therapy. There are so many uses of video when students or clients struggle to describe, explain, or answer Wh-questions. Another fun way to spark conversation is to use “absurd images.” Showing a student a picture of something that could not be real is a great way to get them talking. For example, an image of a duck wearing roller skates could make a quieter student laugh and then discuss what’s wrong with the image.

Imagine combining both to really get students chatting during speech!

Wordless Videos for Inferencing

I’ve found 10 wordless videos that use absurdity that you can use to teach students how to use describing words. I think that the use of stop motion is so interesting. Also these videos would work best with middle school and high school-age students.

As usual, you should preview every video before you share them with students because you want to know the video content, but also to preview any ads that pop up. Your students and you will really enjoy these videos:
