This year, I intend to introduce the talk box but for anyone returning this year, it will be different from last year. This year I will be giving the box home at the end of the week and would like for your child to consider what item or object they would like to place in the box to bring back on the Monday and share/discuss with us. It isn’t a particularly big box so the item will be relatively small. This may be something like a flower, a key, a keyring or a photo…..it is entirely up to the child, something that they can discuss. They might want to share it with the group because it is special to them, or they enjoy the feeling. This is an opportunity that will encourage the children to share their thoughts, feelings, ideas, descriptive language, listening and attention skills, conversational skills, turn taking…….the list of learning opportunities are endless.

The only rule is – IT MUST FIT IN THE BOX 🙂
