Helping children tell stories, follow instructions & build confidence 💬

Using narrative activities and barrier games, we can support children to:

✨ organise and sequence their ideas
✨ retell stories more clearly
✨ understand and use key concepts (first, next, then, last)
✨ improve listening and following instructions (in, on, under)

These simple, structured activities make learning engaging, visual, and effective.

Small supports → big communication progress 💫

'𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲?' 👀

This week at Connect Youth we explored how we all see the world in different ways. In pairs, the boys drew a squiggle, swapped the squiggle, added to their partner's squiggle and then we chatted about the masterpieces.
Such a great source of fun, opportunity to talk about perspective and how others can view us, our words and how we interact. All different, all valuable, all individual.

Special thanks to in Douglas for helping us with our pizza order! 🍕And special thanks to !🏠
