About this resource
This Roost Original invites children into open-ended play using a familiar farm setting, removable characters, and gentle prompt cards that guide conversation without directing outcomes.
Children place and move characters around the chicken farm scene while adults use prompts to encourage observation, spatial language, reasoning, and early storytelling. The focus is on thinking together, noticing details, and exploring ideas through play.
Available in English, Afrikaans, and isiXhosa, this resource is designed to support shared interaction in therapy rooms, classrooms, and homes.

Why this resource works
Cut-and-place play supports both thinking and communication by slowing play down and making actions intentional.
This resource is designed to:
- Encourage shared attention and joint play
- Support language through guided prompts, not instructions
- Build reasoning, sequencing, and problem-solving
- Remain open-ended so children can lead the play
The prompts are there to support adults, not test children.

- Supporting early language, reasoning, and storytelling
- Used one-on-one or collaboratively
- Repeated often, with different prompts each time
There is no single correct way to use this resource. It is designed to adapt to the child.
