Message- your wishes you would like to say to someone e.g. “Hope you have a great birthday”

ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

With your child, discuss different times or occasions when you might give someone a card and the reason for it. 

With your child you could go on a hunt around your house to find examples of cards you or someone in your household have received before. Discuss the types of cards they are and what they were given/received for. 

Your child may wish to create a card for someone.
