Widgit has released a collection of free, symbol-supported resources to help children feel more prepared and supported as they move into the summer holidays.
Whether used in school or at home, the resources are designed to reduce anxiety, build routine, and keep children engaged with fun, accessible learning.
For many children, especially those who thrive on structure, the shift from the school term to the unpredictability of summer can be unsettling. Widgit’s new materials aim to ease that transition.
Summer Planner
Widgit’s Summer Planner is a visual tool to help children understand what’s coming up and feel more in control of their time.
Whether it’s a visit to the park, a beach day, or a quiet afternoon indoors, the planner allows families and educators to map out activities in advance.
Stick it on a fridge or pin it to a noticeboard to give children a clear overview of their week.
Summer Activity Pack
With sunshine and longer days, now’s the perfect time to bring some seasonal fun into the classroom or home.
The Summer Pack is filled with 32 bright activities.
Children can learn about the fascinating lifecycles of butterflies and frogs, build their summer vocabulary, colour in vibrant scenes, or even write postcards from sunny places they’d love to visit.
Staying safe in the sun
The sun is our friend; when it shows up, it lifts spirits, brightens the day, and makes breaktime even better.
But too much of it can quickly lead to red noses, tiredness, and one too many trips to the water fountain.
To help, the ‘Staying Safe In The Sun’ resource encourages sun-smart habits such as covering up, finding shade, and staying hydrated.
