2021 Online Christmas Party

30 individuals/families joined in the festive fun at our online Christmas party back at the beginning of December. It was great to see some new faces joining in a 1Voice event for the first time. The many Christmas jumpers and accessories really added to the party atmosphere.

The event got off to a fun start with a round of Christmas themed rock n’ roll bingo. We used Widgit Online to make a symbol version of the song tracks to ensure as many people as possible could access the activity.

Last Christmas by Wham!

We then split into groups. Those more confident in their use of AAC enjoyed catching up with friends and having a chat. Those less confident and/or relatively new to AAC took part in a more structured activity. The young people enjoyed sharing their favourite Christmas cracker jokes and sharing their Christmas wish.

“Who hides in the bakery at Christmas? – A mince spy!!”

Everyone then got back together and had a great time joining in with a festive dance led by one of our role models, Jodie.

DJ Oli, another one of our role models, rounded off the event with some Christmas tunes to ensure everyone left full of Christmas cheer.

Thank you to everyone who came. We also want to say a big thank you to all our volunteers, without whom, we would not be able to run these type of events.
