NCB Now: I Can's Chatterbox Challenge
Monday, January 23, 2012
Next week will see nurseries, children's groups and childminding groups up and down the country taking part in the 11th Chatterbox Challenge week (1-7 February).
I Can's Chatterbox Challenge is an annual educational and fundraising event, where children aged from birth to five have a great time developing their communication skills by practising songs and rhymes and then performing them in front of family and friends at a Chatterbox Challenge event. Groups are encouraged to fundraise for their challenge to raise money for I Can's work with the million children in the UK who struggle with speech, language and communication.
To get children "communication-fit" for other exciting events this summer, this year's songs and activities are on the theme of "Kids In Motion: Get Active and Make Chatter Matter". This year promises to be a special and active challenge, with favourite songs with actions including Row, Row, Row Your Boat and Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.
