Black History Month - Talking about Pictures

 Any interesting pictures can be good for discussion and can also encourage drawing, painting, modelling or even music or role play. This is a nice image to talk about dads and what we learn from them. But it could also lead to talk about masks or about actions or about clothing. Adults can helpfully extend what children say by adding an extra word, by offering phrases and by giving new vocabulary. But it's important to be genuinely interested in what the children are talking about and to have a meaningful conversation. Taking time to talk and to listen is always worthwhile.
