  • Exploring objects around the house

    When you walk around the house with your child, describe what they are interested in rather than asking questions.

  • Bath time learning

    Bath time can be a great chance to practice describing routines rather than asking questions about them.

  • Narrate your day

    By narrating actions rather than asking questions, you're allowing your child to hear the words they needs.

  • Washing hands and chatting

    Describing the hand washing process can help children connect words to their actions.

  • Getting ready to go out

    It can be easy to ask lots of questions when getting ready, but try to cut back and describe instead.

  • Hanging out laundry together

    Laundry time can be great for your child's learning. Describe all the things they pick up and feel.

  • Copycat games with a ball

  • Exploring textures

    As you do sensory play activities with your little one, describe all of the textures that interest them.

  • Chatting through getting dressed

    Describe the process of getting dressed as your child does it, rather than asking lots of questions.
