Break Time Choice Board
A choice board is a visual support that can be used to communicate what choice a child, who finds it otherwise difficult to communicate, would like to make. The use of choice boards can increase a child’s motivation to participate in school giving them a sense of control. This particular choice board is to support a child in choosing what they would like to do during break time.
Although there are 8 spaces for choices on the board you can use it to put in as little as two options depending on the child and their needs. There are 12 different choice cards so that again you can tailor which you put on the board according to the child.

Emotions Fan
If children learn to understand and recognise emotions both in themselves and others, learning to to identify and label them then this can ensure they will be better equipped to manage and regulate themselves when they experience strong emotions. If children are able to notice how they are feeling and then use strategies to calm themselves down then they are more likely to have successful friendships and to be able to manage set backs.
These fans each contain a different emotion face and word. They can be used for activities and teaching about emotions or alternatively can be used to support non verbal children to express their emotions.
There are 15 fan pieces with the following emotions included: happy, sad, scared, tired, worried, excited, angry, disappointed, silly, jealous, confused, poorly, disgusted, surprised and embarrassed.
