Beyond the PC and away from the whiteboard

There are extra resources included in our Bim! Bam! Boogaloo! software so that you can take the learning beyond the PC.

You won't always want to work at the whiteboard or PC so we've included printable pdf resources for use away from the computer. Print the resources onto card and cut them out to play your own matching games. You could also laminate the cards to make them last longer.

What we find really useful is combining these practical matching resources with the interactive elements of Bim! Bam! Boogaloo!

For example, here's a very simple activity we've used in a special school but which works just as nicely in the Nursery too.

• One child is at the computer or whiteboard using the 'Sensory' activity.
• Another child sits nearby with the object cards, printed out and laminated.
• The child at the computer presses on the board or clicks on the screen and the child with the cards has to match the object they see by holding up the correct card.
• Continue until all the objects/letters/numbers have been matched.

To make it trickier, you can ask the children to match the letter cards to the alphabet objects on the screen, or vice versa.
