Can anyone suggest games for a bunch of 3-year-olds that can be played in a garden/park? Something that will involve about ten of them, both boys and girls, possibly with prizes/a prize but not necessarily. Need ideas asap. Thanks!


and indoors: apart from 'pass the parcel', what else can you suggest for a birthday party? thanks!

It's a song. One of the children is 'the farmer', all the others go round in a circle singing

The farmer's in his den,

The farmer's in his den,

E I, E I the farmer's in his den.


The farmer wants a wife,

The farmer wants a wife,

E I E I the farmer wants a wife


The child 'farmer' picks another child from the ring to be the 'wife'


Then continue singing


The wife wants a child,

the wife wants a child

E I E I the wife wants a child.


Wife picks child


The child wants a dog etc


CHild picks dog


The dog wants a bone etc


Dog picks bone


we all pat the dog etc


everybody pats the dog.


Very simple, and I don't really understand the attraction, but my 4 and 6 year old still like it.

I can see it's not easy if you don't know the tune, but probably any other adult attendee would!

Hope that makes sense.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
