Series 292: Opposites (2014)

Up and down, happy and sad, big and small, hot and cold - this week in Play School we look at opposites!

Opposites are one of the simplest and most important concepts for pre-schoolers to understand. It helps them to improve their communication as they learn how to describe different things. This series explores this important concept through fun games, songs, stories and activities.
