This post box game is a fun way to build speech, language and communication skills while keeping little ones engaged.

Here are a few ways to play:

🎨 Colour matching: Can your child post each letter into the matching coloured post box?

🐻 Naming: What animal is on the letter? Can your child name it before posting it?

💬 Making requests: “I want the red post box next!” Encourage your child to request their favourite colours using words, gestures or their AAC system.

👂 Listening and understanding: “Can you find the blue post box?” Encourage your child to listen, understand and follow simple instructions.

Remember, you don’t need to do everything at once. Follow your child’s interests, model language as you play and give them plenty of opportunities to communicate.

It’s not just posting letters. It’s building communication skills through everyday play!

Understanding and using verbs helps children explain what people are doing and build clearer sentences.

In this session, we are using action pictures and a little Paddington postbox to work on verb vocabulary and sentence formulation.

“What is the girl doing?”
“Swimming.”

We then model a full sentence: “The girl is swimming.” Where the picture includes an object, we can build a subject–verb–object sentence, such as “The girl is eating an apple.”

This supports understanding action words, using verbs and putting words together to describe a picture. Posting each card adds an interactive element and keeps the child involved.
