Description

Development of Critical Thinking

Age Group : 5 years and over

Alfie the alien is visiting Earth for the first time. He knows nothing about human beings, their habits or life on our planet. The child will assume the role of guide, helping Alfie to understand how people live as they visit different places.

We will travel to sixty different destinations with Alfie, finding ourselves in everyday situations, observing natural phenomena, looking at man-made constructions, getting to know different people and visiting unique landscapes.

The child will try to guide Alfie the alien as effectively as possible. Alfie knows nothing and is fully reliant on the child. His guide will have to explain everything to him and answer all his questions!

These types of activities give children the opportunity to think differently from usual, develop their imagination and boost their language skills.

Great resource

I have the electronic version of this and have used it successfully with a range of children with DLD and ASD. I like the scenarios and the fact that I can show the kids why it’s important to use very specific language to describe things.

great resource

the material is great for children with DLD.
