The ever popular Talking Dice series from keen2learn has been extended to include a new selection pack. This range of teaching resources is designed to stimulate talking, discussion and story writing in children and adults. A real benefit is this can be achieved in any language.

Developed by teachers as a quick and enjoyable way to get students practicing their language skills. A simple throw of the picture-based dice gets your students instantly speaking, thinking and listening. You can add more dice based on the ability of the group. The dice can be used to teach any first or second language in a variety of ways. The range extends across a wide selection of curriculum based topics. Students roll the dice and say what they see in the target language. There is no other product that matches Talking Dice’s Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic properties. Talking Dice are used by thousands of language teachers, primary school teachers and speech therapists worldwide. Talking Dice can fit into your current lessons plan in minutes and the variations are almost endless.

Help us make a difference

We are aiming to raise £160,000 through Peter Pan Week to help build two new en-suite bedrooms in the cardiac centre.  The current facilities are cramped and the new rooms will mean having enough space for life saving equipment and a spare bed for mum and dad, making it a much less frightening experience for the whole family.

If you have  any questions about Peter Pan Week please email us or call 020 7239 3182
