Early Vision Role Play Resources


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

 

I read in yesterdays TES about some people who have put together videos which support role play by introducing the children to the situations and characters they can have a go at taking on when they set up a real life role play area.

 

I thought this seems a great idea, but looking at the website today, which is www.earlyvision.co.uk the packs for each 'theme' are £39.99, which is pretty expensive. I wonder if anyone has bought/seen any of these or if anyone could offer their opinion as to whether they seem worth the money!

 

I do find it a problem that children often don't know how to take on roles in the r/play area, and teaching in a village school it's not easy to get out & visit these places!!

PS I've renamed our role-play area 'the imagination station' - naff I know, but I think it means more to the kids and they seem to really like it!!! :o

You can see snippets on the website - they've been recommended on several courses, at the early years conference etc.

The video clips seem quite short but to the point. As our children also lack these experiences I have ordered the 'Ourselves' pack, but it hasn't arrived yet, will let you know more when it does.

I've contacted the company to ask if we could see some materials for review on the site. I'll let you know the outcome :)

:D

The Earlyvision packs look interesting don't they? I've arranged for one to be sent to the next member on our reviewing team list, so expect a review shortly (ish!)

Just received 'Early Vision' - 'Ourselves' Pack.

We recently set up a hairdressers salon after several of our children spent ages 'doing' the staff hair. We had plenty of resources and adults took on different roles.

Today we played the video - only 8 mins - and related it to our salon and we talked about which resources we needed (we didn't have a broom!).

The children have played so well this afternoon - all on task and using the area as it should be used!

The pack also contained photocopiable reciepts/order forms/appointment cards. It also has lots of activities related to all areas of curriculum (haven't looked at those properly yet) e.g. making wigs, comb painting.

The ourselves pack has 5 sections - dentist, beautician, optician, blindness and hairdresser.

The pack was quite expensive £39.99 + p+p, but I will certainly look into buying other packs in the series.
