one minute about these travel-themed
questions. You can easily change the
time to suit your child better.

How does this help my children’s learning?

Talking activities are great for developing

social skills, listening skills, resilience,
self-esteem, turn taking and respect.

Ideas for further learning:

Why not come up with your own ‘talk

topics’ as a family? Write them on some
cards, shuffle them up and play your own
game with different topics and questions.
This one is bound to get a giggle!
 Talk Challenge
Cards: Travelling
Print these cards (or choose one at
random), cut them up and shuffle them.
Take it in turns to choose a card and set
your timer for one minute. If one minute
is too long, try 30 seconds to start with.
Or, if you want a challenge, can you fill
two minutes talking about the subject?

For each card, there is a question or sentence for you to talk about. There are also
some ‘Think about’ prompts. They are a good way to get you used to the game. Once
you are feeling more confident, you can choose not to use them if you don’t want to.
