Fun and Games

Children's Hospitals have the most amazing team of Play Specialists available to help have fun, create art, play games and raise spirits.

Learning was a massive part of Finley's hospital time.  Not only did he enjoy keeping in touch with his local school, he benefited from community teaching and the school at GOSH.  We did not push him when he was too unwell, but the fun and learning he achieved when he was up to it made us so incredibly proud of him.  The imagination and curiosity nurtured by his wonderful teachers helped develop Finley into the incredible boy that he was.

Finley and his brother Jacob created their very own YouTube channel, if you love Minecraft and Godzilla you really need to visit this page:

When cabin fever creeps in you will spark up an unusual friendship with your hospital chicken.  The staff on the ward will never get bored of hearing all that honking.  Our aim is to share the love of the HRC.

Finley delighted in telling people the most interesting piece of information he EVER discovered on YouTube.  That you can cook a chicken just by slapping it.  Find out more, here:

As parents it's important to try to put down those phones, and get creative! Whether it's splodging paint, making Tie Dye, inventing games, or writing stories.  Please see the amazing Auntie Eleanor's story below.
