Time2Play: Marc’s First Visit: Life Skills and Life Values for kids – story and activities

“We read your wonderful book today, and the children really enjoyed it! We also looked at some of the activities and discussed some of the questions.” – Class Teacher at Christ the Saviour Primary School “My daughter has really enjoyed the book. What a wonderful story!” – Parent from Middlesex Meet Marc, an excited and adventurous little boy who loves trying new things. Today Marc wants to go to the Time2Play class and have a great time, but he must learn some important lessons along the way. This wonderful story is full of real life experiences which children, families and educators can enjoy and relate to. It also allows children to be educated at home and within any educational setting. This is the first children’s book featuring KidsTime2Play and includes worksheets at the back for under 8’s. Time2Play: Marc’s First Visit showcases how excited children can feel when they visit a new fun activity group. The book highlights life skills and values which can be learnt subconsciously throughout a child’s day. The creative worksheets encourage healthy conversations and positive messages around these life lessons which are necessary for child development and to create healthy pathways in the brain. Time2Play: Marc’s First Visit is a bright colourful book that is very appealing to young readers. It was cleverly written to include the aspects of fun, humour, friendship and teamwork with a diverse group of children. As their first language is play they will be able to imagine themselves in this realistic story. It also highlights the importance of patience as one of the key life lessons. Although the authors, Marcia Rowe and Kelita Wood, come from different professional backgrounds, they are highly qualified and registered in their chosen field. Together they decided to write this book during the global pandemic. “I liked the story because Marc played with all the children and they played with Marc. It teaches people to be kind – to have kind hands, kind feet and kind words. The best part of the story is when they played a game called Popcorn.” – Sofia aged 6 “I love the book! It’s so colourful! I love the pictures, especially mum’s wobbly legs. That made me laugh! It’s such a great book. Well done!” – Parent of 4yr old twins “Me and my son loved the book! While he was reading, he was fully engaged. He said ‘I’m in charge of turning the pages’ whilst commenting on the pictures. As a mum who’s son recently started school, I appreciate the worksheets at the back of the book. It’s not something you usually get when you purchase a book.” – Parent of 4yrs old “It’s such a fun storybook that you forget that it is also educational.” – NailsbyKiz “Well done authors on this fabulous book! A great way to teach the little ones life skills, which is illustrated with a fun, colourful and exciting story. The workbook at the end is an excellent touch. Very thought provoking. It can be used at home as well as in a school setting with individual and group activities. Look forward to more of Marc’s adventures. Brilliant idea!” – Grandparent from West London
