Orchard Toys games are designed with education in mind and feature fun gameplay, bright and colourful illustrations, with durable, thick, quality card pieces, and ‘Learning Made Fun’ sitting at the heart of all the games. Here are Orchard’s five games brilliant for SEND support.
The breadth of what children find challenging is vast. For some, it’s literacy-based or numeracy-based activities, whilst others struggle with processing and remembering information. SEN pupils often find learning to spell words, telling the time, and solving maths problems much harder than those without SEN needs.
To help children (and parents) learn through play, Orchard Toys offers a wide choice of educational games that offer children stress-free, fun opportunities to practice and develop their literacy and numeracy skills – they’re so much fun kids won’t even realise they’re learning! That’s why Orchard Toys is loved by children and parents – the games also get the thumbs up from teachers who have tested them too.
A brain teasing word game, where children can practise their literacy and language skills, going over words they already know and learning to spell new ones. Have fun joining together the letter on a wiggly worm’s head with the letters on a wiggly worm’s tail – for example, b-ake, s-ell, gr-ow, br-ight.
