Resource Info
It’s inevitable, children will hear and pick up swearing at some point in their lives, whether it's in the playground or unintentionally at home, children can pick up 'bad words' absolutely anywhere.
We've created this activity to help children replace the bad words in their head with silly words instead.
Directions: Have them think of 16 letters to place in the grid, then ask them to come up with as many of the silliest sounding words they can. You can even replace your everyday swear words with some funny words your children made up too! This activity helps them learn that some words can upset others, but some can make people laugh - and which ones would they rather say?
Benefits:
