Learn English Kids

Hi I am sure many of you have already heard of the british council learn english, It is a webbsite filled with all kinds of activities for learners to learn english. I want to write about the version for younger pupils. On this webbsite children have the opportunity to learn and study english in a fun way on their own. One of the best parts of the website is that it is designed for children in a cartoon like way so the fact that the webbsite is fun is  very good motivation. The young learners can also learn along side their parents on this webbsite.

this is the link ------> https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/home

On the site the learners choose what they want to learn by clicking on a category, every category has its own purpose like reading and writing, listening and watching, speaking and spelling, or if they want to learn more grammar they click on the grammar icon. They could also just simply make their own monster, body part by body part or play a game. For example in the "Kids games" category there is game called Nessie in which the learner is supposed to fill the gap of a sentence about the lochness monster with the right word. They fill the gaps until there is no more sentences left.

Another fun category is the listen and watch section. There are different exercises that helps the kids to improve their skills, for example the Brushbus where they can listen to the song and because of the lyrics, they can also sing along and practice their productive skills as well.

And if they for example want to study grammar they can either play grammar games, watch a video about grammar or simply test themselves with a test.

This webbsite could come in really handy in a teachers work, the teacher could for example instruct the kids to make a monster and then they could work in groups and describe each others monsters as an exercice. This would be both fun and rewarding when it comes to improving their skills, the make your own monster exercice is found under Make.

A very good thing about this website is that you can use it on many computers and you can use it from home if the child would get incapable of attending school.
