PLAYFULLY PRESENTS...
One day, the light in Zedie and Zoola’s lighthouse goes out, putting visiting boats in danger. They set off on an adventure to find enough glorms to bring light back to their village. On their adventure Zedie and Zoola see lots of exciting places and, with the help of new friends, they manage to find all the glorms they need. At the end of their trip, they have lots of new experiences to talk about. This beautifully illustrated, inclusive storybook helps children to understand that some people find talking difficult, and that we can help by listening and thinking of different ways to communicate.
Playtime is essential for children’s wellbeing and provides key opportunities to make friends. Yet for some children, unstructured play can present real challenges. This is an evidence-based resource for parents, primary school teachers, and speech and language therapists, as well as anyone looking for new ways to foster an inclusive environment to help children aged 6-9 with different communication styles engage and play with their peers.
This pack contains 25 beautifully illustrated cards containing ideas for fun playground games that draw from Zedie & Zoola’s Playful Universe. The cards explore the topic of communication differences through engaging characters and games, and the accompanying guide offers additional advice for adults to use the cards effectively, with helpful contextual information to assist in making playtimes more accessible.
