Play & Pretend: PP: 7. Come Play With Me - Story

Some children can become so fixated on their own game that they do not notice that other children are playing separately. They may want someone to play with them but not be sure how to include them in their game. Children that learn how to include others from a young age are more likely to make and keep friends.

Following on from the “Can I Play?” story, this story aims to empower children to notice when other children are playing alone and give them a script for inviting that child to join in with them. This story also aims to highlight how children may be feeling lonely if they don’t have someone to play with.
