1. December and the first Sunday of Advent.

During December I will be giving you simple ideas of how to integrate language learning into the festive season.

Easy words, simple sentences and activities for the whole family.

Books for us are a great way to not just enjoy language learning but to build vocabulary in both languages and also open up a new world of adventures.

I would love to hear about your favourite reads for children during winter and the festive season. 📚🇩🇪🇬🇧🌲

It's a great time of year to learn about everything evergreen🌲

As all the leaves are falling or have fallen from the trees and winter is approaching and of course advent, it is a great time to get into the forest and collect items that are evergreen.

Children can learn the different types of trees that are evergreen (Immergrün) or deciduous (Laubbaum).

Collect evergreen items that can be used in Christmas craft activities such as wreaths and table decorations.

They can also learn the words as they go along and also create some simple sentences in English and German.

Happy language learning with nature💚

Here was our fun english exercise yesterday, and my not so great filming one handed skills with a pony😅🙈

Into the forest we went (with the ponies of course) and just did some nature spotting together with checking up on some english words.

Really easy to do and this could easily also be done as a treasure hunt.

Great activity for younger children to learn some words in nature. 💚

If your child is learning english, you can teach vocabulary through everyday activities.

Let's take the example of fruit.

If just starting, just try learning the names of the fruit, then some simple sentences and then ask questions.

I then swap between english and german to check understanding.

Have fun learning 💚

Here are some ideas to help your child learn some

Here are some ideas to help your child learn some basic english vocabulary before they start to learn english as a compulsary subject in the third class (Austria and Germany).

🎲 Numbers
Play hopscotch (Himmel und Hölle). Fun way to learn numbers 1-10. It can be played outside or indoors depending on the weather.

OR play a board game that requires 2 dice.

🌈 Colours
Black, white, blue, red, green, yellow, purple, brown and pink. You can do this through drawing and painting, or getting outisde and collecting items from nature to represent each colour.

OR You could also learn an english song 'I can sing a rainbow', which sings through the colours.

🧦Clothing
Place items of clothing (trousers, t-shirt, shirt, shorts, jeans, skirt, socks) at one end of the room. The child starts at the other end of the room. You say an item of clothing and they run to fetch it. You can use a timer to see how long it takes them to collect each item.

OR as you and your child are sorting the washing or getting clothes ready for the morning talk through the vocabulary.

OR use a doll and using the clothes vocabulary get your child to dress the doll in the clothes the you state.

🙋‍♀️ Simple Greeting and Introductions
Hello
Goodbye
Nice to meet you.
How are you?
What is your name?
Where do you live?
How old are you?
These can be learnt either through roleplay or through the use of soft toys talking to each other.

OR you could create a schoebox theatre with some finger puppets and act out a introduction

🌲 In the forest
Take a walk in the forest and create a treasure hunt where your child collects leaves, twigs, pine cones, acorns, wild flowers or any other items that are around in the particular season.

OR use my 30 Days of learning english through autumn adventures reels to get some other great outdoor ideas.

There are so many ways to learn words in english,

There are so many ways to learn words in english, but we like to do things in nature and with play.

Setting up our outdoor-themed shoe box theatres we can look at words but then also put together short and simple sentences, and for advanced children they can play the whole sketch out in english.

Have fun💚
