Developing Language with Knock Knock Cards at Stubbington Lodge

#TerrificTalkers in Action

Here’s how the Knock Knock Cards bring language learning to life:

• The children begin by practicing their social skills, knocking on the cards and enthusiastically saying “knock knock.”
• They then open the “door” to reveal an object, sparking excitement and curiosity.
• Initially, the activity introduces single words like “ball” or “dog,” helping children build their vocabulary. As they gain confidence, they progress to two-word phrases, such as “big ball” or “brown dog.”

Why Knock Knock Cards Are Effective

This playful activity supports language development in key ways:

• Encouraging speech by creating a safe and interactive environment for trying out new words.
• Boosting confidence through repetition and success as they master each step.
• Stimulating curiosity and attention, as every knock and reveal keeps them engaged.
