GETTING READY TO GO BACK
TO SCHOOL OR NURSERY
FLASH CARD CHAT TIME
Step 1 Cut out the cards
Step 2 Play some games
There are lots of games you can play together with the cards. They let you
explore questions your child might have and allow them to talk about
how they might be feeling about going back to school or nursery.
Here are some ideas.
What will their day be like?
Ask them to think about how their day starts, then get them to put the cards
in order as they talk about what a day at school or nursery might be like when
they go back. Suggest they think about how it might feel on their first day back.
Telling people about their day
Once they are back at school or nursery you can use the cards to help share stories
about their day. This could make it easier for them to settle back in.
Make up stories with the cards
Ask them to look at the pictures. They could name the characters and tell stories
about their day. Ask them to tell you what they think the characters are feeling.
They might have questions which the cards could help them to
talk about
• What will snack time be like? • Will all my friends be there?
• Will I be able to hug my friends? • Will my mummy be able to stay with me?
• Will I have to wear a mask? • Will there be plenty of soap to wash my hands?
• Will I still have fun?
• What if I forget the new rules?
Stick the cards on the wall
You could ask your child to stick the cards on the wall to help them
get ready for going back to school or nursery. Remind them that
changes might seem odd at the beginning, but they’re new for everyone
so you can all help each other and keep safe.
You can ask your child to come up with some of their own ideas about
how they’d like to play with the cards too.
