And they don\u2019t expect much progress from children. How can you learn a language by singing and dancing? Of course, if you only sing and dance, you won\u2019t learn much. But if you prepare special English lessons and use singing and dancing as a learning tool, then it\u2019s a whole different story. Singing, dancing and playing are the main pillars of a child\u2019s development. These 3 abstract languages help develop their brain and prepare them for learning other information. It is important to use it systematically. How does it work?<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd1e074fca2\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd1e074fca2\">\n                Three main pillars of learning English with kids            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p>Children have involuntary attention, and they can only focus it for short periods of time. That\u2019s why it\u00b4s hard to engage them in long dialogues. But the world of sounds and music attracts and mesmerises them. It has its own laws, beat and rhythm, which is easy to memorise. If you enhance the music with some words that rhyme and even add a rhythm to your song, it will help children memorise English words and phrases and lay the groundwork for correct pronunciation and development of phonemic hearing.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogImage\" id=\"blogImage-block_62bd1e294fca3\">\n    <div class=\"blogImage__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogImage__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1504548836-scaled-1.webp\" class=\"glightbox\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1504548836-scaled-1.webp\" alt=\"Mom and child learning on a computer\" class=\"blogImage__imageItem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1504548836-scaled-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1504548836-scaled-1-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1504548836-scaled-1.webp 1024w\" >\n                <div class=\"glightbox__zoom\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/novakid\/public\/img\/icons\/search.svg\" alt=\"Zoom icon\" class=\"style-svg\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogText\" id=\"blogText-block_62bd1e514fca4\">\n    <div class=\"blogText__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"blogText__content\">\n            <p>What is dancing? It\u2019s a form of body language. By showing what the song is about by using your body language, you help kids understand the meaning of the song without using language as a mediator. Through dance, which is a body language, children memorise new words and phrases, and involuntarily learn grammar. Singing accompanied with dancing is the most efficient way to develop a child\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n<p>Why do they need to play games? First of all, it helps activate all the language that they learned from singing and consolidated through dancing. Second of all, games help kids use the language they learned in their speech and practice it in various contexts. Third, games are the main activity of children of pre-school age, and it\u2019s the main means for their development. You can always be 100% sure that efficient English language learning is reliant on choosing the right games and playing them the right way.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd1e594fca5\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd1e594fca5\">\n                What kinds of games are there?            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p>Children can learn English by playing various games. It depends on what the goal is and how the child reacts to it. If a child doesn\u2019t mind it when mum starts speaking another language during the game, and mum\u2019s English is good enough to freely use it when playing, then it can become a valuable source of communication in English. If you\u2019re building a fort or a workshop, feeding your dolls or teddy bears or going on a trip in your game, narrate everything you\u2019re doing in English. It will work to your benefit that all the toys are ready at hand, you can show and name them all. Your child will quickly memorise the English words you use and even start using them on their own very soon!<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogImage\" id=\"blogImage-block_62bd1e734fca6\">\n    <div class=\"blogImage__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogImage__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1276191010-scaled-1.webp\" class=\"glightbox\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1276191010-scaled-1.webp\" alt=\"Mom and child dancing\" class=\"blogImage__imageItem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1276191010-scaled-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1276191010-scaled-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_1276191010-scaled-1.webp 1024w\" >\n                <div class=\"glightbox__zoom\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/novakid\/public\/img\/icons\/search.svg\" alt=\"Zoom icon\" class=\"style-svg\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogText\" id=\"blogText-block_62bd1eb04fca7\">\n    <div class=\"blogText__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"blogText__content\">\n            <p>If your child doesn\u2019t really like playing in English, or if parents don\u2019t speak very good English, you can introduce the new language gradually.<\/p>\n<p>For example, start with board games. It\u2019s better to pick the games that you have not yet played. Tell your child that this new game requires speaking English \u2013 it\u2019s one of the rules. But then everything has to be in English! Questions, answers, communication and narration. Start with something simple. Young children can benefit from playing such games as dominoes, simple card games like \u201cGo Fish!\u201d, Uno etc. These games will help kids remember how to count and what various items are called. Games from the \u201cmemory\u201d series are great as well. The cards in the game are repetitive, so it\u2019s easier to remember them.<\/p>\n<p>There are dominoes with various topics: animals, toys, vehicles, professions etc. Board games will also help children get acquainted with basic grammar constructs and learn simple questions, such as \u201cWho has got\u2026?\u201d and answers, such as \u201cI\u2019ve got!\u201d. And don\u2019t forget about other helpful phrases:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Whose turn is it?<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Where is\u2026 ?<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 I know \/ I remember! It is here \/ over there\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The didactic value of using simple board games to help kids learn English helps achieve two main goals: first, by passing the psychological barrier, overcoming the fear of English, and increasing their interest; and second, learning to use English phrases and expressions spontaneously in their speech. During the game, kids concentrate their attention on the gaming process, which engages them completely. That\u2019s why playing in English is the best way to get your child interested in learning it.<\/p>\n<p>The third type is didactic games. They are meant for purposeful learning of English and combine well with English songs and dancing, because all these aspects together form what is known as \u201cEnglish lessons for children\u201d. Kids don\u2019t think about it, they just dance, sing and play, and the teacher meanwhile helps them learn the language and start speaking it.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd1ec64fca8\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bd1ec64fca8\">\n                How do didactic English games work?            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p>These games can be based on normal games that we all know. But their content is usually dedicated to a specific topic. For example, if the lesson is about feelings and emotions, then the game cards could contain such actions as \u201cshow an emotion\u201d. Then the child pulls out a card and shows an emotion portrayed on the card. The teacher can then pretend to not understand what the right answer is and ask them follow-up questions, such as:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Are you sad? \u2013 No, I\u2019m not. \u2013 Are you hungry? \u2013 No, I\u2019m not.\u00a0 \u2013 Are you angry? \u2013 Yes, I am!<\/p>\n<p>Kids love games like these, and they will gradually memorise all the questions. Third of all, games help them hear all the new words they learned in context.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, you can sing the \u201cHow are you today?\u201d song, which you can find on the internet. The song goes through all of these emotions, make sure to follow the lyrics up with gestures and facial expressions. You should also come up with a gesture for questions.<\/p>\n<p>After singing, you can play with the cards again. Now you have to consolidate what you learned and try to practice using it. Cards with emotions are placed face up. Ask your child a question: \u201cHow are you today?\u201d, then ask them to pick up a card and say \u201cI\u2019m\u2026 (happy)\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Then it\u2019s their turn to ask you a question. Another option is to try to guess which emotion the child picked. You can start so that you don\u2019t have to explain the rules. Say \u201cAre you \u2026 tired?\u201d The answer will depend on what card the kid has. After this, switch roles again.<\/p>\n<p>You can sing the song again after playing, but this time, switch off the sound when it\u2019s time to name an emotion, and ask your child to sing it on their own. You can start every lesson with the \u201dHow are you today?\u201d song as a phonetic warm-up. This will help you repeat what you\u2019ve been learning. Next time, you can get cards with faces expressing various emotions, and ask your child about them. They should already know the right words, but this time they will have to use pronouns \u2013 \u201cshe is\u201d or \u201che is\u201d, and the collective \u201cthey are\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To consolidate this knowledge, play a memory game and get them to say the whole sentence, for example, \u201cshe is happy\u201d or \u201che is hungry\u201d. With time, you can replace the \u201cshe\/he\u201d pronouns with members of your family \u2013 \u201cMummy, Daddy, Granny, Sister, Brother\u201d etc. This will help the child learn how to use these words in various contexts.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, singing songs, dancing and playing games in one lesson will help your child involuntarily learn English phonetics, new words and grammar, and it will also make English lessons more interesting and productive, so that kids learn to speak English more quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Video lessons at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Novakid online English school for kids aged 4-12<\/strong><\/a>, will help you raise a bilingual child.
