NOTE: This program is designed to be playful, creative and fun and at the same time help kids learn important life skills and survival skills. Carers are welcome to become part of it and the request is that they join in for the games and embrace the spirit of having a go, being kind and playful. We aim to use language that gives choice eg rather than say ‘you have to do this’, we say ‘you can do this’ or ‘its more fun if you do this’. We also aim the keep the sessions screen free and if taking photos, to take them invisibly rather than getting kids to pose for a photo.
