Legendary learning and development webinars
Join us for our latest series of legendary virtual learning and development webinars.
The power of play - mental health in a post-covid classroom
During the past few months of lockdown, children will have been feeling a huge variety of emotions: excitement, happiness and relief, but possibly also anxiety, anger, trepidation, even grief.
Dealing with and being able to express these emotions will aid learning and we, as laughologists, believe that play is a vital part of this, both at home and at school. In this session, we’ll explain why, and give you some tools to incorporate play into your daily routine. So whether you’re a teacher in the classroom or a parent wanting to support your child at home, you’ll find out more about:
- Exploring the mental health problems faced by children during lockdown.
- How play can help us understand this new world of learning.
- How play can translate into and help core subjects.
- Cost - FREE
- 500 places available
Presented by Victoria Maitland & Edward Elgood, Laughologists and actors who play for a living, and realise how important it is.

- Using humour to build resilience and feel more in control, improving your overall wellbeing.
