Symbol Resources to support the performances at Lighthouse in Poole
Widgit have collaborated with Chris Jarvis to create symbol resources to support the pantomime audiences this Christmas.
Symbol stories are a great way to create accessible learning materials. Children may find these symbols useful to prepare for their visit to the pantomime.
You can use the Going to the Pantomime resource to anticipate the experience of visiting a theatre at Christmas.
The plot summaries introduce the characters and outlines the story of what happens.
