Colourful Semantics - Sentence Building

Colourful Semantics helps children understand what words mean, how words fit together, and how to create simple, meaningful sentences. It uses colors to group words, making it easier for your child to remember words, learn new vocabulary, and express themselves clearly. Research shows that visual grouping of words into colors helps children better understand language and remember words more effectively.

Develops ability to:

• Name objects, people, actions - “What is this?”
• Repeat a sentence - "Let's say, the dog is sitting.”
• Describe a scene - “What's happening in this picture?”

Think and Find - General Concepts

Think and Find is a matching activity that helps children learn new words and practice important thinking skills. It encourages children to develop conceptual thinking by matching pictures based on characteristics, improving their ability to notice details and make connections. This supports language growth, memory, and decision-making. It also serves as a natural path to categoristaion.

Develops ability to:

• Point to / find an object - “Can you point to the lorry?”
• Match pictures and objects - “Can you find a car like this?”
• Identify & describe characteristics: “What shape is this?”

Concept Quest (Beta) - Size Concepts

Concept Quest is designed to help children learn and apply early size concepts such as long, short, tall, big, and small. By matching pictures or objects to these concepts, children develop their ability to compare, categorize, and describe the world around them. This exercise supports language development, visual discrimination, and conceptual reasoning, laying the groundwork for spatial understanding and mathematical skills.

Develops ability to:

• Understand size descriptors - “Which one is long?”
• Identify spatial concepts - “Can you point to a tall tower?”
• Apply comparative language: “Which one is smaller?”

Categorisation - Sorting into Groups

Categorisation levels up conceptual thinking by encouraging children group things together based on similarities. Learning to group things together helps children understand and recall new words more easily, build their vocabulary, and clearly express ideas.

Develops ability to:

• Group items - “Which of these go together?”
• Identify categories - “What kind of thing is this?”
• Compare and contrast: - “How are these similar?”

Story Train - Ordering Pictures

Story Train is a sequencing activity where children arrange pictures in specific orders to tell a story or show a process. This activity helps children to understand concepts such as time, order, and how events are connected. Sequencing also supports language development, comprehension, and logical thinking.

Develops ability to:

• Arrange events in order - “What happened first?”
• Describe actions and stories - “What is happening here?”
• Use time words like "first", "next" and "then"
