2021-12-09T11:47:06+00:00

Welcome to the Storyplay For The Planet blog, where we share the stories of all the adventures we've had! Get in touch to find out how to join. We were back at Cranhill Primary on Friday 26th November for our second Storyplay for the Planet!  We played Big as a Bear and Funky Chicken, where we met the Cheeky Monkey, Snapping Alligator and Funky Flamingo. It was lovely to see so many animals who make up our wonderful environment brought to life. All of whom are worth protecting! Let's Bake a Cake...for the Earth! We then decided to make a cake for the earth with Let's Bake a Cake For The Earth, where we put lots of ingredients for the planet as well as the yummy (and not so yummy) things we love to have in our imaginary cakes. This included hope, small trees, bees, honey, many different coloured icing and water which we put into a giant bowl and stirred until the cake was ready to put in the oven. We all helped lift it in and Marcelo opened the oven door, Mason pressed the button and.....5....4....3....2...1! Bing bing bing! Once we had decorated the cake and sang happy birthday to the planet, we all had a piece and tasted lots [...]

Porridge & Play is fun for all the family and we are working hard to bring that fun to you in person in the New Year! Tuesday 16th November We would like to thank all our Storyplay Champion families who managed to make it to their session! It was so fun learning about all the ways we can make people comfortable and ready to play when coming to Porridge & Play 2022. We practiced playing games together like our Flying Balloons Game and Funky Chicken, all of which are crowd favourites and all of which will be appearing in Porridge & Play 2022.

Storyplay For The Planet with Cranhill Primary!!

2021-11-24T16:34:01+00:00

Welcome to the Storyplay For The Planet blog, where we share the stories of all the adventures we've had! Get in touch to find out how to join. We went to Cranhill Primary on Friday 12th November for the first session of our Storyplay for the Planet!  We got to meet loads of wonderful children and their grown ups! As well as some of the fantastic teachers at the school that let us come and play with them! In this session we started out by being as BIG as a BEAR! Which meant we got to meet loads of animal friends that live on our planet. Then we got to know the Funky Chicken! All the children and grown ups got to show us their animal. Which included a sleepy elephant 🐘  and a snappy snake 🐍 We got to sing about Grandma and then blow up our balloons and travel all over the WORLD! What a great adventure it was! 'I loved that when I was thinking of things to see below all the ideas were so amazing and I realised we could make up anything at all!' Headteacher Flying Balloons We started off by exploring in our sock and you'll never guess what we found?! Why, we found a balloon! But, not just [...]

New Porridge & Play Hubs!

2021-11-24T16:34:45+00:00

7th September 2021 We are thrilled to announce that Licketyspit has been funded by the New Scots Integration Fund to set up two new Porridge & Play Hubs in Glasgow!  Porridge & Play Hubs - Castlemilk & East End will be delivered in partnership with Storyplay Champion partners, parents/carers and children from these communities, with open sessions starting in the new year. The project has been designed in consultation with the Licketyspit Children & Families Network and draws on Licketyspit’s highly successful and well-evaluated intergenerational imaginary play project Big Porridge & Play Glasgow. We chose Castlemilk and the East End for this expansion because of the high numbers of asylum-seeking families living in and around these areas who have joined Licketyspit’s Porridge & Play Online sessions and further, because of the enthusiasm of our local partners to learn about and use Licketyspit’s Storyplay approach. Thank you very much for the opportunity to learn and play with my child. It has been a magical experience. They're like your best friends Like a big family round a table! Don't know where we'd be without this...no one's judging there's lots of acceptance, feels like we're being brought into the community. We learned a lot of new games and we keep on playing them during daytime as well and we both enjoy it. We are [...]
