These templates and activities are intended for use by children of any age – they are simple enough for young children and allow scope for older children to add their own ideas. The templates and activities are classed into broad themes.
Each template has a small version of the template and some suggestions for activities or discussion starters. Open discussion with comments and open-ended questions are generally more productive than direct questions used to test knowledge.
