Picnic Adapted Book | Let’s Go on a Picnic | PreK SPED Autism SLP

Picnic Adapted Book | Let’s Go on a Picnic is a fun, interactive picnic-themed song activity for preschool, Pre-K, kindergarten, special education, autism classrooms, and speech therapy. This adapted book helps students build picnic vocabulary through music, repetition, and hands-on participation. It is sung to the familiar tune “On Top of Old Smoky,” making it easy for students to join in and stay engaged.

As the teacher or therapist sings the song and turns the pages, students match picture pieces and follow along with the repeated text. After the song is complete, students extend learning with a sorting activity that focuses on picnic-related vocabulary and concepts. This resource is a great fit for circle time, small groups, literacy centers, and therapy sessions, especially for students who benefit from visual supports, repetition, and hands-on learning.

Sample Verse:

"Let's go on a picnic.

It's such a nice day.

We'll sit on a blanket.

We'll eat and we'll play..."

Students match the pictures and sing along as the teacher or therapist sings the song and moves through the pages. After the song is complete, students complete in a sorting activity that focuses on classifying picnic themed objects.
