50 things to do before you are five

50 Things To Do - BBC News Report - YouTube

50 Things App is a collection of 50 fun activities you can try with the children in your care. All activities listed on the app are either free or at low cost

Each and every one of these activities will uniquely challenge children to develop their confidence, build their communication and language skills and encourage learning. The activities have been written by education experts and early years practitioners to meet pre-school literacy priorities and help early years settings and schools respond to Ofsted's challenge to improve low literacy levels in children

50 Things aims to provide inspiration for parents, carers and practitioners to connect and bond with children through a range of activities. All suggestions included are low-cost or no-cost experiences that include indoor, outdoor, seasonal, home-based activities that are not only fun but will get children of to a flying start with their learning and language development. The app will help us understand the significant impact of playtime on children's development

50 Things to Do | Bradford - website 

50 Things Primary is designed to enable children to become increasingly independent in their own decision-making, helping every child develop life skills and explore new interests, through local low cost and no cost activities. Each of the 50 Things have been carefully developed by education experts, following consultation with parents, and we’ve made sure that children with special education needs are included and that each of the 50 Things means something across our culturally diverse communities
