A sensory story about a journey on safari. Story features a repetitive song throughout to develop anticipation. There is a resource to match each animal, detailed in the powerpoint. This story was written for a group of PMLD learners at the early steps within Routes for Learning, so adaption of resources etc might be necessary for your group.

A Lion King music and movement session, inspired by tacpac. There are 6 focused tracks with a corresponding activity/stimuli, and extra tracks at the end for relaxation/extra listening.

African drumming sessions designed for learners with PMLD. The original group of learners are at the earliest steps of routes of learning with very limited physical movement, therefore session designed for more listening & vocalisation skills. Various call & response songs, and drumming tutorials. We did these weekly over 8 weeks to develop consistency and staff confidence with singing/drumming so it became a lovely group activity which we were able to have fun with and extend. Various YouTube links to follow in powerpoint and ideas to use them. I am aware Harry Belafonte is not African! However, learners really enjoyed the included song and staff copying the vocalisations that’s why it is included.

*heavily inspired by the amazing ‘Going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen. Halloween Sensory Story. I have shared the PowerPoint I use when telling the story & the script sheet with resources on. Hope you enjoy!
