Try incorporating these ideas to further support children’s communication skills.

• Commenting to tease or encourage other players (e.g. “I’m almost finished”, “You still need a square!”).
• Displaying appropriate emotional responses when ultimately winning or losing.

•  Commenting when taking turns (e.g. “Whose turn is it?”, “My / your / his turn”).
• Encouraging accurate sentence structures and verbs usageg. “
  • I found a triangle”
  • “I need a…”
  • “She wants a…” etc.

• ‘s’ can be practised frequently in this game for children who have difficulties with this sound. It comes up when saying ‘dinosaur’, ‘spikes’, ‘circle’, ‘square’ and ‘semicircle’.
