Top three tips from the organisers
- Use day-to-day objects to bring to life what PB is about. Those objects can then be present at all times triggering memory and understanding. For example Batman and Robin figures representing big and small ideas.
- Really important that the adults (teachers; volunteers; classroom assistants) understand what PB is about to effectively encourage and support the children.
- Need to ensure that play is at the heart of the whole process when working with young people.
