Date and Time: TBA.
Course information: Liven up your holiday playscheme with a stimulating range of workshops, offering great ideas and themes for you to explore and develop with 4 -13 year olds. Participants will be able to do two workshops on the day. Please note: You are asked to select your order of preference from 1 to 4 on the booking form and we will aim to give you your first two choices.
Workshop Leaders: APE Project, World Jungle, Katy Noakes, Vinnett Alvaranga and Dawn Miller.
Drama: 'Willing to Play'. Explore simple games and activities in a fun session that can be built upon by the playworkers. We will work with themes and ideas using story in an experiential and interactive way; dressing up, creating the environment and entering into the action. Participants will go away with new ideas and techniques for their 'tool bag' without the pressure of feeling 'put on the spot' during the session.
Music: Games and activities celebrating music from around the Globe. We will show you simple techniques for getting children singing, making sounds and rhythms which are fun and easy to recreate for even the most tone deaf play worker! Participants will also have the chance to try out the Global Play toolkit developed as part of our playful ideas project.
Dance: A great way to get your children moving, working together and being creative. This introductory session is led by tutors who run the city's Re-Staged youth dance programme. They have many years experience in community settings. The session will cover dance games, partner work, dance drills, web resources, improvisation, basic choreography and time for you to ask any questions specific to your setting.
Green Arts: A range of creative ideas for children, which will enhance the potential for a broad range of play types within your setting. The activities will include; making your own spin painting machine, building large cardboard box cities, how to make top grade hula hoops from scrap and giant drawing machines.
Cost:: Free to all Bristol-based childcare workers, however a ££10 refundable deposit per person is required to secure a place. £50 to all others.
