'Who Needs Help?': Sorting Activity for Children

This activity supports children who struggle with being able to understand when they need help, how they need help and who they need help from.
Some children struggle with identifying when they need help and if they need help. This is perfect for children who find it difficult to share grown-up time in the classroom and often rely on support from the grown-ups in the classroom.
Suitable for EYFS, KS1, KS2.
