The ADHD Activity Pack for Key Stage One is an instructional resource designed for practitioners, parents, and carers to support children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It offers a collection of hands‑on, adaptable activities organized into five thematic sections: Arts & Crafts, Self‑Reflection, Sensory, Attention & Listening Games, and Physical Activities. Each section lists specific activities—such as Paper Chain Rainbow, Animal Yoga Cards, Sensory Brain Break Cards, Listening Walk, and Beanbag Challenge Activities—intended to help children communicate, regulate emotions, meet sensory needs, develop listening skills, and release excess energy. The pack emphasizes personalization, regular use, and the integration of calming strategies, aiming to make learning engaging while supporting the unique needs of children with ADHD.
