We’ve compiled a list of adventures for children to try by the age of five to help them be happy, healthy, and ready to start school.

The adventures and skills are built around five key themes to help children develop and grow, find their voice, make friends, be curious and creative and build connections.

By taking part in adventures and practising key skills, children will make the move into reception more easily and with confidence, feeling emotionally and practically prepared.

Many of the adventures are free and you can do them in and around the home or at community venues across Telford and Wrekin, including at libraries, parks and community groups.

This is a great foundation for our 10 by 10 programme, which encourages a further ten adventures to try by the age of 10: 10by10.telford.gov.uk
