Parachute

Active Learning

Games

Children learn in many different ways and have different learning styles. Opportunities for children to experience language through song and rhyme, storytelling and games offer children ways to interact with the new language and with one another in a dynamic and social environment. Through active methods and physical response they feel safe to explore and experiment with the new sounds. For those who prefer to listen and observe, they absorb the new language by watching others and gradually increase in confidence, until they too are joining in, responding to what they hear and see and engaging with others in short conversations and role-play.

Working in the school hall, these young learners play games in which they lift and move a colourful parachute, while developing their listening skills and comprehension.
