Games and activities

Here are some games and activities that you can use with your child, to help them cope with difficult situations.

The activities have been designed for children aged from five to seven, but you can adapt them for younger or older children. They are grouped together under six different headings, and you can simply choose the ones which you think will be most helpful.

If your child is taking part in Zippy’s Friends, you will find that these games and activities reinforce many of the programme’s lessons, but they are equally effective with children who are not in the programme.
