Please, Can We Play Games?

Join us for a joyful online workshop, ‘Please, Can We Play Games?’. Led by the delightful Ruth Ker, this session is all about actively embracing the healing power of play. Learn fun and engaging games to play with children—at home or in the classroom. Children connect to their world through play, and with a caring adult joining in the fun, the experience becomes even more magical. Ruth will share some of her favorite games collected over the years, sparking laughter and lighthearted moments that will foster bonds and create lasting memories for the adult and the child.

Please remember which email address you use to sign up with, as a Zoom link will be sent to you the day of the event. Please do not opt out of receiving emails from us, so that we can send you the Zoom link.
