Click Here For Your Guide To The November PLAYlist
Hello, and welcome to November!
This is usually the month when things start to feel busy – darker mornings, festivals and celebrations coming up, and the first signs that the end of term is on the horizon. Children’s play is often more settled now, routines are in place, and you can really start to see their confidence building.
Here’s what’s coming up on The PLAYlist this month.
FREE Subscribers:
Toolkit – Neurodivergent Play - CLICK HERE
Cath Evans has created a Toolkit on Neurodivergent Play. It’s all about helping us recognise and value the different ways neurodivergent children engage with play, and how we can support them in ways that are authentic and meaningful.
Guest Article – Cheryl Warren - CLICK HERE
We’ve got a brilliant article from Cheryl Warren. It’s packed with practical ideas and grounded in her years of experience across Early Years. It’s already live, so do have a read and share it with your team.
PAID PLAYListers:
Free Online Training– Quality Adult Interactions (PEARLS) - CLICK HERE
This month’s Staffroom Session looks at Quality Adult Interactions using PEARLS. It’s designed so you can watch together as a team, pause for discussion, or use in staff meetings.
10 Practitioner Created Activities – Pre-Writing - CLICK HERE
This month’s 10 activities are focused on Pre-Writing. They’re playful, practical, and easy to use in provision, supporting all of those key skills children need before they’re ready to write.
Cheryl Warren Interview - CLICK HERE
We’ve also recorded an interview with Cheryl Warren. It’s full of insight and ideas you can take back into practice straight away.
Common Play Behaviours Download - Workshop/Craft Area - CLICK HERE
Finally, we’ve got a new Common Play Behaviours Document for Workshop/Craft Area. It’s a practical session to help you spot, understand and plan for CPBs in your setting.
Why Upgrade?
If you’re currently on the free tier, you’ve already got access to great content like Cheryl’s article and Cath’s toolkit. But the paid subscription gives you more - activities, interviews, CPB resources, training sessions, and staffroom materials you can use right away.
Full access to the PLAYlist is £6 (+VAT) per month or £60 (+VAT) per year. You can cancel anytime if you are paying monthly, and we can invoice your school or setting. Find out more here
November is always a busy month, so I hope The PLAYlist helps you and your team to feel supported and inspired. Thank you for being part of our PLAY community
