2. Talk to your child about being safe. Safe is one of our SHANARRI words. At nursery children help to prepare snack cutting up different foods. They talk about how to be safe when cutting. Talk to your child about how to be safe when they help you to prepare foods or how to keep safe when you are out for a walk.

 

 

 3. Play hide and seek together.

 

 

 4. Play a listening game together. Take turns to hum a tune your child knows well and encourage them to listen and guess which song it is.

 

 

 

 5. Whilst looking out the window or out for a walk encourage your child to tell you what they see. Add a word onto what your child says modelling how to describe it to them. E.g. if your child says “car” you might say “A red car.”
