On March 27, 2021 Window on America Center in Lutsk hosted a meeting with pupils of the weekly English Kids Club!

#WindowonAmericaCenter #БібліотекаОлениПчілки How to interest and motivate kids in learning English? The Window on America Center has some ideas: - we try to teach kids in a game. Because game – it is a positive emotion, and where there is a positive emotion, there is an activity, imagination and attention, which activate thinking and lift the mood; - emphasize and focus on children’s success expressing emotions and delight; - teach children be the one team; - try to maintain a comfortable psychological environment, because psychological comfort is one of the most important conditions for good learning; - try to assure kids that their possibilities are endless and just make them feel how it is wonderful to know English, speak with the foreigners and make new friends.

. We talked on a topic “Places you can visit in а town”. Many of the activities took place, the pupils were able to learn a new vocabulary, made up different dialogues, exercises, repeated Past Simple of regular and irregular verbs, played a lot of games, such as Prepositions of Place Board Game, Places in a Town Game, Hot Potatoes, Asking the Way Game, where kids using a map of a town and some useful phrases (Where is the nearest…How can I get to…Could you tell me the way) tried to identify each place in a town and give the right directions how to get there, and “Name Your Favorite” - the game where pupils had an opportunity to talk about their favorite places in a town.
