Card hacks for… ‘Tell a Trusted Adult’

An essential aspect of social and emotional learning is empowering children to stay safe. By teaching them to recognise their body signals or early warning signs, we can help them respond to challenging situations.

 Tell a Trusted Adult is the perfect resource for supporting early learning educators, primary teachers, parents and anyone working with children and families.

The set includes 13 pairs of cards that feature gentle, original artwork and no words, and nine activity cards. This resource is designed to support children with low literacy levels, those who are visual learners and individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The resource is effective in building social and emotional literacy in children.

In this 30-minute FREE online session we will explore:

• using the cards to create conversations about body signals and early warning signs

• creating safe spaces for conversations in groups and classrooms

• how the activity cards can further conversations and align with school curriculums

• some ways the cards can support children to build healthy, protective habits

• using Tell a Trusted Adult in a range of settings

• powerful questions and conversations starters for working with small children.
