4.3. Explain how play and activities are used to support the development of speech, language and communication.
Speech and language is not something that is natural to everyone, it needs encouraging gently by others around them such as parents/carers and other adults at school. This is usually encouraged by means of interesting things that the child shows interest in, it can then be fun for the child and they learn how to communicate at the same time. For example:
The use of puppets, dolls, cuddly toys; when a child first starts getting interested in talking they begin to role play e.g. giving a doll a cup of tea. This is an indication that they are ready to use new words.
Role play and dressing up; this is another way of encouraging speech and communication. Adults can play alongside them to encourage them with their speech and communication skills.
Books; are a great way of expressing themselves and letting everyone know their interests. You can usually find books of interest to everyone as most groups have a wide and varied range of books. If a child says one word per page e.g. “car” then you could say “blue car” so you are adding one more word than they are saying, this encourages the child to add another word when talking.
Nursery rhymes, songs and musical instruments; are also good for communication skills. This encourages children to listen, sing and communicate, this can be through using their hands to start off with and eventually hands and singing. Musical instruments can be good for the children to practice repeating different sounds that are made or making the sounds louder or quieter.
Blowing bubbles; this activity is good to enable the child to point to different things that the bubbles are hitting, they show interest and can start by making simple words such as “gone” when the bubble has burst because it is fun and stimulating for the child.
These are just some examples of play and activities to support speech and language.
