Activities to develop social skills in a practical and fun way
Give children of all ages and abilities the opportunity to build up a toolbox of social skills for life with these session plans based around tried-and-tested activities. This will enable them to have the best opportunity to understand who they are and their impact on the world, as well as identifying how the world impacts on them as an individual. It gives room for reflection and practical skills for working on tricky situations that are not always taught in the home or school environment. Detailed instructions give staff guidance on how to deliver the sessions effectively.
