Every modern parent understands that children need knowledge of a foreign language, and they must come to school with the basic knowledge they already have. Therefore, at the peak of popularity, English for children is in a playful form, which allows you to explain important information in an accessible way for preschoolers, as well as have fun with them.
Best age
Some parents believe that it is not at all necessary to study English at home, since the child will receive all the necessary knowledge and skills at school. But this is not so, a modern first-grader should already have some information, otherwise he will have a very difficult time. On the one hand, get used to a new main type of activity - learning, giving up the usual game. On the other hand, remember huge flows of information on all subjects.
To avoid such a burden, you should start training in a timely manner. The first fun activities can be carried out at 3 years old, but without trying to pass on to the child everything that the parent knows - learning several groups of words is quite enough.
At 3-4 years old, a child has the following qualities that will help him in learning:
- the ability to remember a huge flow of information;
- interest in understanding the world, curiosity;
- lack of embarrassment in pronouncing foreign words, which will appear over time;
- the ability to imitate speakers well in the peculiarities of their pronunciation.
Classes become more serious by the age of 5 - at this time intensive preparation for school is carried out, so parents should think in advance what educational games and exercises they will use.
Study Rules
In order for home English lessons to become desired and loved, it is important to make sure that they are interesting to the child. Parents need to follow several recommendations.
- Only a game form - there should be no boring cramming and strict discipline in classes.
- Using a variety of games and tasks.
- Appeal to didactic material.
- An excellent motivator is praise, so you should definitely rejoice at your child’s successes, but scolding and anger from parents can forever destroy the desire for new knowledge - that’s why you shouldn’t do this. The child tried, so you can at least praise him for that.
- Coercion is also unacceptable. If the baby does not feel well or is capricious, then it is better to postpone the lesson for a more appropriate time.
- Work according to the principle “from simple to complex”. At first, it will be enough to tell the child the name of some flowers in English, and during a walk ask him to find everything that is “red.” Gradually, home lessons will become more and more difficult.
The most important thing in the learning process is to use the child’s natural desire to explore the world at this age and give him material useful for his future life in an easy, unobtrusive form.
Types of games
All games are divided into 2 large categories: individual and group. The second type is most often used in kindergartens and special courses; at home, together with the parents, the child will be happy to play an individual game. Among them, you can choose those that are really interesting to a particular child. These can be outdoor games, fun with elements of drawing and singing, or competitions. The main thing is that the baby has fun and interesting, only in this case he will study with pleasure.
Here are examples of individual games for preschoolers.
- Colors . A fun way to learn colors and reinforce what you've learned. After introducing the next shade in English, the parent gives the task “bring me something red,” inviting the child to bring any red object. You can play not only at home, but also on a walk, on the way to kindergarten.
- Where is it? This is a kind of hide and seek that will help your child improve his speaking skills. The idea is simple: the child hides some object, for example a pen, and the parents’ task is to find it using the child’s prompts, written in English, for example, look at the wall.
- What am I doing? Another fun activity is an active game that will help not only consolidate knowledge of words, but also have fun. The parent imitates some action (for example, dancing, running), the child names it in English.
- Opposites . The game helps you remember known vocabulary and consolidate it. The parent throws the ball to the child and says a word, for example “white”, the child catches the ball, returns it and says the antonym - “black”.
- Can you draw? The game will help you not only learn new English words, but also use your imagination to your heart's content. The parent introduces the child to a new word, for example - a cat. The baby should draw a cat or, if he is not yet good with a pencil and brush, simply color the picture prepared in advance by his mother.
- As many as you can. The task is simple - in a set time, for example 2-3 minutes, come up with as many English phrases as possible. The good thing about the game is that you can vary the difficulty depending on your skill level. So, for the little ones it will be enough to simply list all the words they know, for older children - to highlight certain thematic groups (for example, words denoting animals), at 5 years old it is already suggested to compose grammatically correct phrases. A parent can take part in a competition and, of course, lose.
These games will help improve communication skills in English, remember new words and be able to use them appropriately, and will also help you feel more confident, because learning in an informal setting for children is always much more effective than boring memorization.
In addition, you can learn vocabulary by playing a game with your child similar to “Edible - Inedible.” First, the rules are discussed - for example, you will need to catch the ball if mom says a word from the topic “Vegetables”, and throw it away if she says any other word.

Working with cards
It is this form of conducting classes with children 4-5 years old that will help them remember a large number of English words of certain thematic groups. First, mom selects the material - she makes cards herself or prints them from the Internet, which contain images of objects and their names in English.
The following card options are suitable for preschoolers:
- vegetables and fruits;
- Food;
- vehicles;
- animals;
- plants;
- body parts;
- colors;
- clothing and shoes;
- furniture.
You should not overload your child; 8-10 words on a given topic are enough, which he will master quickly enough. You can play the following games with them:
- "Find the odd one out." The mother places several pictures from the thematic group “Vegetables” and one from another group, for example “Clothes,” on the table in front of the child. The child’s task is to find the odd one out and, naming the object in English, remove the card.
- "What's missing?" The exercise trains memory and attentiveness well. A group of cards is laid out on the table (first of the same theme, then, to complicate it, pictures that are not related to one another). The child remembers the sequence for a while, then turns away, and when the mother hides one of the cards, he must figure out what exactly is missing and name the English word.
Flashcards are a great way to enrich vocabulary; the main thing is to use them correctly, not to force your child to passively learn words, but to actively include them in speech. For example, if this week the mother is studying the topic of vegetables with the baby, then during lunch or when preparing a dish she can ask the child what this or that vegetable is called in English. If the child could not remember, he will need to find a suitable card and use the hint.
Fun drawing
Interesting English exercises are very diverse; you can also use elements of drawing. It is known that many preschool children love to work with paints and brushes - this should be used for educational purposes.
There are several uses for drawing.
- The assignment is in English. First, the child is introduced to the phrase without requiring him to remember it completely. For example, mom explains that “Color the table green” means “Paint the table green.” Then he gives the task in Russian and English simultaneously. And finally, when the child has completely memorized the phrase, it only sounds foreign.
- Fixing flowers. The child is given a blank sheet of paper or a blank for coloring (depending on his preferences), then the parents name the colors in English, asking the child to draw something or paint it with the appropriate shade. If the child finds it difficult and cannot remember what, for example, blue means, you need to indirectly suggest (remember, the ocean is blue).
- Step by step drawing. The task is to draw an animal, for example a cat. The parent will give tasks in English (draw circle, triangle and oval), while simultaneously showing the child a card with a ready-made sketch (you should draw it in advance), the baby repeats, using both a verbal command and a ready-made sample.
Such games can also be accompanied by music, including children's songs in English for the child - they will help to have fun and once again reinforce the peculiarities of pronunciation.

Magical forest
To develop the English language and increase interest in it, you can play such an exciting game with your baby. Of course, preliminary preparation will be required, but the result is worth it, because in one lesson it is possible to remember and systematize all the knowledge acquired.
First, mom sets up a game situation: “Today we will go on a journey to a magical forest where mysterious living creatures live, they will ask you to complete various tasks. It will be interesting and fun!” Then he plays selected music.
- The first step is to approach the magical forest. Circles painted in various colors familiar to the child are placed on the floor, at a distance of about a step from each other. The baby’s task is to walk along this path, naming the colors. If he gets lost, he will have to start all over again. If a color is stubbornly not remembered, there is no need to torment the child; it is permissible to give a hint. Still, the game should bring joy, not disappointment.
- The second step is to open the door. We walked along the magic path to the entrance to the mysterious forest, now all that remains is to open the door. For fun, mom can prepare a regular lock and key in advance to make the image more visual. But the lock is not just opened with a key, you must first count from 1 to 10 words in English (or name 5 animals, plants, fruits, depending on what you studied with the baby).
- Step three. Meeting the local inhabitants. It turned out that in our magical forest there live amazing animals that look similar to those familiar to us, but are slightly different (illustrations of a green cat, a blue fox, and so on are prepared in advance). You need to greet them using English greetings familiar to the child. To make it fun, mom says that you need to communicate with each of the inhabitants in a special way, for example, with a cat - on one leg, with a fox - standing on your tiptoes. Thus, the child first takes the required position, then greets the animal: Hello, Hi, Good morning.
- Step four. A short story about yourself. The inhabitants of the mysterious forest ask the child to tell something about himself using English. The baby says his name, how old he is, and shares any other information that he is able to voice.
- Step five. Answers on questions. Fairy-tale creatures ask questions or offer to perform some task (for example, list in English everything that the child sees in a red room, or name all the pieces of furniture or transport familiar to him). The main thing is to formulate tasks in such a way that the child has every chance of successfully completing them.
- Step six. Parting. The child again takes the required position (stands on one leg when communicating with the cat, etc.), says Bye, Good bye). After this, his mother gives him a small gift for his efforts, and the game is considered over.
Sweets or toys can be used as a prize. You should not give clothes or something useful - the child will not appreciate it and will be disappointed.
Fun English lessons for children are a great way to prepare them for school and have fun. Using various games and interesting exercises, you can achieve much greater success than with boring cramming. The main rules are to practice regularly, in a good mood, using a variety of game forms.
