New free TouchChat template: Bluey

Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, Chilli and twenty-one more of the Heelers’ family and friends by name, a board of the games they play, a board of the show’s own Australian words, and the feelings and at-home words of a Bluey day — six boards, built for TouchChat WordPower 60.

Bluey is a show about play, and it is told in Australian English. So the words on these boards are the words your child hears on screen: Mum, not Mom; brekkie, arvo, barbie and footy; and the lines every Bluey fan repeats, Cheese and crackers!, Oh biscuits!, hooroo and righto. A child who loves the show wants to say it the way Bluey does. The Let’s Play board holds the games themselves — Keepy Uppy, Magic Xylophone, freeze — beside the verbs any game needs.
