Remember to use your creativity this week and never stop learning❤️

LISTENING👂🔈
•
This skill is often overlooked, although it’s incredibly important!
Listening skills aid speech and language development, reading, communication, the ability to follow instructions and help in developing relationships🗣📚🔡👯‍♀️
•
Here are a few ideas to help develop listening skills:

- Playing broken telephones☎️ (Make it more difficult by using alliteration or a longer sentence).
- Simon Says 🖐🏾🦶👃🏾👣👂👁
- I went to the shop and bought... 🍏🥕🍞🍦🍉
- A Nature Walk (What do you hear?)🐶🐝🐔🌲🌨🌬
- Listen to a story (Ask questions during and or after)📒☕️
- Give multiple instructions (Please may you get the milk and butter from the fridge)🥛🧈
- Sing action songs (Hokey pokey, head, shoulders, knees and toes)🎤 🎶
- Build or draw something by listening to instructions🟩🟥 ✏️
- Model good listening👂👨‍👩‍👦
