Things for kids

DIGITAL LINKS to TALK, READ, SING, RHYME, DRAW and PLAY EVERYDAY FROM HOME

Talk – Use these sites to describe, question, guess, compare, explain, marvel, choose

Talk about all the exhibitions.
What do they think the items are?
Who might have used them and what could they have been used for?
What colours can they see?
Count and sort items in groups.
Which are their favourites?
Have they seen anything like it before? When? Where?
What are the animals doing?
Why do they think they might be doing that?
What do they like to eat?

Don’t worry too much about facts. Let language flow and imaginations run wild.
