 Object-Function:  
‘’What is It For?”  
This activity was designed to teach students to identify the function of an 
object and express it into a sentence. 
 
Object function is a very important speech therapy term. It links a verb to an object. 
This means that we are linking a function or verb to an item. This is a very big and 
necessary step in language development. 
 
It is the fact that we see many children can name a lot of different items (nouns), but 
they don't use verbs. With this activity, you help the children to learn to use the verbs 
and take their language to a next level. 
 
 
Level 1: ​Starts with a matching activity, where child matches the object to the 
function. You help the children to know the nouns and the verbs. 
 
For example:  
 
1. An apple - to eat 
2. A pencil - to write  
 
Level 2: ​Make the 2 different forms of sentences: 
 
For example:  
 
‘’A bed’’ 
 
1. What is a bed for?  
2. What do we sleep on?  
 
 
Level 3:​ Answer the questions, using the cards. 
 
Level 4: ​Answer the questions, but not using the cards. 
 
Level 5: ​Use the real items: real apple, real pencil… and put this activity into the real 
life. Ask a question whenever you do something, and whenever you see any object. 
Please remember to practice with lots of repetition.
