Synopsis

During this global pandemic there are many unknowns for teachers. However, one thing is clear – social distancing, at least in some form, is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

Attempting social distancing with young children raises many questions: how is it possible? How can we incorporate it into games and activities? How do we help and support children with this lack of human connection?

Written by an early education expert and consultant, ‘101 Games To Play Whilst Socially Distancing’ provides a simple, and step-by-step description of games covering the entire curriculum that take place within the context of social distancing. Resources have been stripped back, to leave a collection of activities where storytelling, role-play, drama, song, and movement come to the fore.

Wellbeing is at the heart of this book. Children’s mental health has been tested recently in ways never experienced by earlier generations, and wellbeing and happiness are central to all the games.

This book teaches:
• A wide range of outdoor games, and all the activities can be played in the outdoor environment if required
• Many games that develop memory and listening skills
• Multiple maths games, that develop skills in number, shape and calculating
• A wide selection of early phonics and literacy games
• Activities ideal for Kindergarten, Reception, Preschool, Key Stage 1, Pre-K, Nursery – all children between the ages of 3-7
• Inspiration that is ideal for teachers, junior sports coaches, preschool workers, childminders – anyone that works with young children
• A mixture of old classics tweaked to fit with social distancing, combined with numerous games that have been invented afresh for this book

‘101 Games To Play Whilst Socially Distancing’ is the ultimate handbook for teachers and educators seeking ideas and structure at this historic moment, and a source of inspiration providing fun, laughter and learning in these difficult times.
