Let’s Play! Activities for Families

Let’s Play! Activities for Families is a new package of resources developed by the BC Ministry of Education for parents and caregivers who want to support their child’s early learning through play.

The activities are connected to the BC Early Learning Framework.

Set 1: Focusing on engagement with others, materials, and the world

Set 3: Focusing on Identities, Social Responsibility, and Diversity

Set 4: Focusing on Well-Being and Belonging

These are a good resource for family literacy programs, early child care settings, and parents.
