Playdough, painting, drawing etc are the same in any language...

Maybe print out some dual language signs for 'drink', 'toilet' etc so he can ask for those independently - depending on his age of course! Otherwise work on some signing with him and his parents. If you have some signing books that would be useful.

Good luck! :D

Some Polish words


How are you? - Jak-sie-masz
Yes - Tack
No - Nie



There is a great book here you mind find helpful

Also some posters here that are cheap if you scroll down the page

I know these wont help for Monday but they might be useful if the little boy is going to be starting with you it also might be encouraging to the parents if they know you have been looking at things to help

In the meantime I would do as Sarah suggested

Good luck
