Aims

The aim of this session is to think about how sand play can enrich children's language a communication skills. We shall take time to consider how through endless opportunities for vocabulary expansion, children can learn new words and describe the different textures of sand and the various tools used, whilst engaged in this sensory experience

 

Summary

Playing with sand encourages children to express themselves through verbal communication. They can describe what they are doing, explain their ideas and convey their thoughts. Sand play is an ideal setting for practicing conversations with each other. Children can listen to others, ask questions and take turns talking. All these opportunities allow children to develop and fine tune their skills for engaging in meaningful conversations

 

 

This course uses video clips, group activities, written materials and interactive discussions to support learning

Some fabulous resources for you to keep will also be shared with those who attend the training
