Tips for caregiversWhether you are an older sibling, a parent, grandparent, cousin, auntie, uncle, teacher or someone who works in an After-School programme -- your time makes a big difference to the children you spend it with.

These tips are to help you as you read the Treasure Box to children, or have them read it to you:• If the children cannot read, read the story

to them and help them with the puzzles. • If the children find the story easy to read,

help them to read it in the other language.• Ask lots of questions about the pictures of

the pals on the beach. • The card games are easier for younger

children if you use only cards numbered 1 to 5.

• The cards will also work for Snap! and memory games. Scan the QR code for more ideas.
