Using activities that are already part of your daily routine can be great opportunities to develop children’s language.

Bath time is one of these! It is a great time for one-to-one, face-to-face language interaction!
Try…
Offering choices – “do you want the green towel or the white towel?”.
Model new vocabulary such as action words while you’re carrying out the actions – e.g. washing, drying, pouring, splashing, filling, emptying, pulling/pushing the plug, floating, sinking.
Talk about where things are using location words e.g. ‘the duck is on the water’, ‘the shampoo is next to the taps’.

Have fun with people games 😊
These are games that involve just you and your child e.g. peek-a-boo, chase, hide and seek, tickles, jumping, swinging, songs (there are many more!)

Top tips:
- Reduce other distractions e.g. TV / radio
- Sit face to face with your child
- Play the game regularly and in the same way so your child learns the routine.
- Once your child is familiar with the routine, pause (possibly before the most exciting part) and wait for your child to indicate that he/she wants you to keep going through movement, a look, a smile, sound or word(s). For example, “If you see a crocodile don’t forget to…(pause)…scream!”

Today is world sleep day! Sleep is very important for children’s development.

Lots of young children can find settling down to sleep difficult and will wake in the night.

You can find some advice on sleep on the NHS sleep and young children website - https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/health/sleep-and-young-children/

And also on the NHS Occupational Therapy website - https://www.cnwl.nhs.uk/services/community-services/milton-keynes-children-and-young-peoples-occupational-therapy-team/advice-sheets-home-early-years

Every child is different, so do what you think will best suit you, your child and your routine.

A quick ‘talking tip!’ for supporting your child’s language development:
Repeat back sounds and words: When a child makes a mistake with their words or sounds, you can repeat the sentence back correctly so that they can understand where the mistake happened. E.g., ‘I goed to the shops’ you could model back, ‘Oh you went to the shops!’, ‘I went to the shops too’.

This week is British science week!
Why not carry out some fun science experiments with your children over the weekend.

You could do some colour mixing activities. Watch as you mix the primary colours of red, yellow, and blue together to make new colours.

This is a great opportunity to model language to your children about all the things you are doing during activities, e.g. ‘mixing’, ‘brush’, ‘digging’, ‘looking’, ‘scoop’.

Take a look at the British Science Week website for free activity packs for under 5s to 14 year olds here: Activity packs - British Science Week

Today is world book day! Time for your children to get dressed up as your favourite book characters.

Why not take some time out of your day to read with your child?

Reading books is such a special time with our children. It helps them to learn new words, use lots of words, and can help their minds grow.
