Social Skills Activity Deck for Kids by Brad and Betsy Peterson from Gibbs Smith
My nieces children will be attending Pre-School this year and they’ve never been around other children expect there sisters. To prepare them for school Charlie and I’ve been face-timing them once or twice a week and doing activities from the Social Skills Activity Deck. The kids had so much fun my mother in law Sherry purchased them there own set to use with there sisters and there parents.
The funny part is even though Charlie is 17 he still learned from the set of cards and was able to teach his friends stuff from the cards. If we had still been #Homeschooling full time Charlie and I would have used Dance Party in our #Homeschool Music Class and also in our E Class. I host a dance party once a week in my home to introduce new music to my family and to help me with the exercise I need to do to lose weight.
This is a set of cards we can take with us when running errands to keep kids busy while waiting in doctors offices and restaurants. Lik like how they included a introductory booklet filled with useful instructions for families to use. Charlie wanted me to ask if you would like to do Chit-Chat Hat with him? Or Comedy-Duo?
