Fairy Tale Castle - Speech, Language & SEN group intervention game | Mixed-ability groups

£3.00

(0)

“Once upon a time” - Words that can be genuinely hard to reach for a child who struggles with narrative. Fairy Tale Castle gets them there gradually one picture at a time. This pack takes the naturally story-rich world of castles, Knights, and fairy tales and turns it into a structured, three-step ladder toward proper story telling. Without ever feeling like its work. How it works: A child pics their pictures and works at their own level 1, Name it - Simply identify what is in each picture 2, Describe it - turning that word into a sentence 3, Tell it - Weaving their pictures into a real story with a beginning, middle, and end As all three stages use the same collection of picture, you can run the intervention with a mixed-ability group at the same time - one child naming, another building sentences and another a full story, the only thing that changes is the level of instructions given. Why is works: Children with Speech, language and communication needs often find narritive the hardest skill of all - It asks them to hold a sequence, choose vocabulary, and organise ideas all at once, Breaking it into these three honest steps means every child gets a genuine win at their level, not a task that’s either too easy or completely out of reach. Use this board for: 1, Story building 2, Group Story building - Carry on the story from where the last child finished 3, Following instructions 4, Vocabulary building 5, My turn, Your turn What’s Included: 1, 1 x Fairy Tale Castle board (printable) 2, A large selection of tokens 3, A complete instruction guide As with all Speak, Play, Learn resources the tokens are all interchangeable, creating even more learning opportunities
