People games rarely involve toys - you or other children are the toy! * Make sure you're face to face so they can focus on you * Remember to be playful, animated and fun! * Pause as you get close to the exciting point & see how your child shows they want to continue. #sltfv

Once your child is familiar with a people game you can plan ways to support them to communicate more in the game. Give the game a name so they can ask you to play it, signal the end of the game & wait to see if they ask for it again. Check out the graphics for more info #sltfv
