Hey Guys
I am still struggling with this assignment. Was wondering if anyone could help me with the following question or knows any good websites that would help me answer it:

We have some funds, which I want to use to buy some indoor games for the children. To ensure that our children make the most of these games and fully enjoy them, we need to get their input into what we purchase. How can we go about this? I want you to think about and answer the following questions that are designed to get their input.

1. What communication methods will you use—and why?

Hi EllieJane,

Some ideas you can include are:

-Get the children to make up their own wish list.

-Provide toy catalogues to children and ask them what they would like.

-Have a group discussion on what the children enjoy playing with.

-Cut up some pictures of games you would like to purchase, show them to the children, explain and then the children vote on what they want.
