Games: The phone game

This is one of the games that helps them to have and improve a conversation.

You can use two toy phones.

It is important to help the child to open up and to listen.
Do not be judgemental.
You can ask about their interests and friends, for example.
You can ask them to sing for you or telling you a story or about a film...
Reflect back what they are saying, that way they will know you understand, and then listen again (so they can continue speaking).



Remember that small talk can be difficult for kids.
