“This was a great kit for my classroom of NE children. We used the base plate and charger to charge our battery and help us make a good choice. We stood on the base plate and took a deep breath and then moved a counter to the green of the battery. This was popular. We used mindfulness daily to breath deep and calm our minds and bodies (essential for key children). Being a Catholic school, one of our GRACE values was Respect so I was able to link this too. We also used the Rainbow fish story to friendship and caring and sharing and created colourful fish to go above the base plate. We had a discussion about what makes us happy and wrote our answers on paper. The children enjoyed swapping stickers in the booklet- we adapted this slightly so children swapped stickers with someone who showed them kindness or respect. We are going to continue with this in term 2.”

My whole class enjoyed trading stickers with others and I witnessed them engaging in conversation with others about how to ask a new child to play. Highly recommend this resource!”

“The best part of the kit is the Playlunch project books. My class use these during playbased learning time and they help with them using their gentle hands, sharing and being kind while engaged in play with others. They absolutely love them and it decreases the amount of play conflict and them telling tales on one another as if someone is not being kind they just don't give them a sticker. Also like the map which is good to integrate with digitech. Children can programme robots to go to different places on the map.”

“Overall our class really enjoyed the kit. They LOVED the playlunch project in particular! We integrated the kit with the Zones of Regulation lessons we were teaching simultaneously, so we used the battery magnets to track our zones throughout the day, which was really successful. Although we couldn't do the sinigng due to red level, the breathing was great and is now integrated into our daily routine. The kids really enjoyed the Thing-That-For card activities, and the question cards were nice for Circle Time warmups. We found the class activities a little disconnected / didn't flow on from each other super naturally, but we adjusted them to make them flow for our class. We haven't used the tokens or connector cards yet. Overall I recommend the kit, our class loved it!”
