Looking after our Hands with Symbols SEN

(0)
A set of five lessons on hand care crafted for SEND children (and suitable for EYFS and KS1), emphasizing sensory exploration, using visual symbolism, and interactive learning. Here, children learn about hand hygiene, but also about kindness, empathy, and the value of self-care. The resource contains a unit of work with 5 activities and includes activities, objectives, materials required, steps involved and the teacher support required. Through tactile experiences, colour contrasts in symbols, and role-play scenarios, children are offered a multi-sensory approach, catering to varied learning needs. The lessons provide children with the skills and knowledge to undertake their own hand care, fostering a sense of autonomy. The 15 colour and black & white symbols serve as visual cues, reinforcing memory and association. The role-playing activities emphasize kind actions with hands, guiding children towards empathetic interactions and promoting positive social behaviour. The lessons are modular and can be tailored to suit individual children’s requirements, pacing, and comfort levels. Boardmaker Licenced.
