Have you got any ideas on how I can practise waiting for turns to speak and listening to others' contributions with my son? He's coming to the end of year 1 and is a bit prone to calling out basically because he's so desperate to share what's in his head. He's already good at taking turns with board games etc so wondering if there's anything we can do specifically relating to speaking and listening? Thanks in advance!

My kids loved an Alphabet game - do not know what it is called but goes like this



I love my love with an A because she/he is (Adorable) her/his name is (Ann/Andrew) and she/he lives in (Andover)

I took her/him to dine at the sign of (the Adopted Artichoke) and we had (Anchovies) and (Apples) to eat And Arsenic to drink.

The next person can either remember the A routine and add their B details or just do everything with B


Kids can make up the most daft details and also very good for vocabulary. Kim's game is also good

It's an old-ish game which my husband's mother and aunt used to play with him as a small child ( he is now 62)


Both of our girls grew up with it - we used to play it whilst out walking from Dulwich Library - St. Faith's Road when we visited his parents. Both girls had an vast vocabulary and good imaginations, we had to teach it to a couple of their school teachers to use in class.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day.
