Children love parachute play. They get the chance to move around, be silly, and have fun. But there’s more to parachute play than games. The activities in 3-2-1: Time for Parachute Fun are sure to get kids laughing while they’re learning to count, cooperate, follow directions, and move their bodies in new ways. With activities that promote social and emotional growth, imaginative play, and listening and communication skills, this fantastic resource provides parents, teachers, and caregivers with plenty of ideas to get children moving and learning. The book is divided into three parts: · The Introduction offers safety tips, information on purchasing a parachute, and ideas for more fun ways to use parachutes. · The chapter “Parachute Games—No Props Necessary” includes activities that only require a parachute, like The Parachute Pokey, Under the Big Top!, and In My Tent. · The last chapter, “Playing Parachute Games with Props,” is full of activities that use easy-to-find props, including: Into the Bucket You Go!, Matching Pairs, and All Dressed Up. Each activity includes step-by-step instructions, and many also include ideas for expanding activities to support further learning. Children ages 3–10 will love these easy and fun activities.

The aim of the Including Children with...series is to equip practitioners and carers with the basic information they require in order to understand particular special needs and respond appropriately to the child and his or her parents. The emphasis is on helping the child to participate as fully as possible in the curriculum, on equal terms with his or her peers. All children need practitioners who are able to observe and reflect on their individual style of learning. Children with a visual impairment, in particular, need practitioners who are curious and imaginative about how they learn when vision is not their main medium. This book makes suggestions about some aspects of developing and learning with a visual impairment which will enable practitioners to make the learning environment they provide a positive and responsive one for children with a visual impairment.

What are schemas and why do they matter? Again! Again! provides an introduction to understanding and supporting schemas and schema play in young children. Practitioners will find an overview of schemas with guidance on where they fit within the EYFS. There are examples of schemas, with illustrations and descriptions of common behaviour patterns, and these are set within the general context of child development. The intention is to help early years practitioners identify schemas and to understand both how important they are and the vital role they play in the growing child's learning. The aim is to help the reader understand how they can develop, plan and resource activities which support children's learning through experiment and play.
