'Chatter matters' week, running from 11-15 March, celebrates the value of communication for our youngest children, and this year the theme is 'bounce it back'.
The theme comes from the idea of ‘serve and return’ interactions. Communication passes between us, a bit like a ball bouncing back and forth.
The 'Time to Talk' website has some free resources and ideas for ways to get involved and encourage lots of chatter in your setting, including:
- Flyers to create displays and to give out to families
- A blank version of the flyer to add details of activities going on in your setting
- Printable 'chatter matters' bunting to decorate your walls during the week!
You might also find some inspiration in the session plans for delivering outdoor 'chatter matters'.
