Here is a little game you can try at home with your little ones to encourage speech and describing words while taking turns. Give your child time to think and answer.  This game can be made harder if you feel your child needs challenged.

Communication Tip of the Month

Here are some fun activities for you to enjoy with your children at home. We have added a link to the website which includes a story – The Dawn Chorus by Suzanne Barton.

These activities will help you communication with your child in different ways.

Watch and listen to the birds

Go outside to your garden or an outside space. Look around carefully and listen to the sounds you can hear. Can you see or hear any birds singing? Try it at different times of the day and talk about what you have discovered.

Hanging birds

Create your own birds like the ones in the book. Visit Suzanne Barton’s website for a template or draw your own. You can paint or colour the birds and even add feathers and googly eyes. Encourage your child to talk about what they are doing as they create their birds.
