The Rainbow Fish Themed Lesson and Communication Bundle

Use colour and sensory play to create a predictable session with genuine choices at every stage. This downloadable bundle helps clinicians, educators, parents and carers facilitate the session with one child, a family or a small group.
 
The 60-minute sequence includes welcome, music and movement, shared reading, sensory play and a calm goodbye. Activities include moving with coloured scarves, matching colours, rainbow water play and dot-marker rainbow art. Wet, dry, seated, tool-based and watching options can be offered according to the child's access needs.
 
The communication mat supports colour words and useful language including fish, same, different, all, some, more, like, give, turn and finished. Participation stays child-led: choosing, refusing, watching, reaching, moving, using AAC or taking a break are all meaningful responses. The book is sold separately.
