A child can learn through play

Psychologists and specialists in the field of children's education agree that learning through play enables effective learning and has many other advantages. If you want your child to learn English, you will support this process if you spend time with him or her. Playing together can bring a lot of joy. Every parent, even a beginner, should have at least one complete set of building blocks in their home. No matter what age your child is. You can also ask your friends if they happen to have any blocks to give away. Contrary to appearances, this is a very likely scenario, as toddlers often grow out of playing with blocks or simply a particular set has already become completely boring to them. The zero waste philosophy is still in vogue, so it's better to give away unwanted blocks to someone than to simply throw them in the nearest trash garbage can.

How to use blocks to learn English?

The first way is pictures. The game is very simple, but it gives really good results. When your child learns new English vocabulary words, you can ask him to build for you from blocks the equivalents of these words. This is a good fun idea for older children who have already mastered to perfection the process of creating buildings with blocks. You can tell your toddler to build for you, for example, a dog, a cat, a car, an airplane, or a house. When a child, will repeat a given English word many times, then he will certainly remember it for a long time. Maybe even for life? You can also use a completely different technique to learn English vocabulary words. It involves preparing slips of paper on which you write the names of the different parts of your closet. However, always remember to match the level of vocabulary to your child's level of proficiency. Then let your child draw one card from this entire collection. When you have it down, don't let her show it to you, but get right down to building with the blocks the structure she has on the card. Your task, will be to guess what it is. Such a game will be a lot of fun, both for you and the toddler. You can also get to know each other much better through this and strengthen your bond.
