Is this workshop for you?

Do you teach English to preschool or primary-aged children?

Perhaps you enjoy using crafts with your learners, but sometimes wonder how much English they’re actually using along the way.

Or maybe you’ve considered introducing crafts but aren’t sure how to make them work as part of a language lesson.

You might be looking for ways to move beyond vocabulary practice, give children more opportunities to communicate, or connect crafts with stories, games and play.

If you’re curious about what children can learn through crafts – and how to make those opportunities happen – this workshop is for you.

What will we explore?

Making crafts more language-rich

Look at opportunities for listening, understanding, making choices, requesting and communicating before, during and after making.

Different approaches for different learners

Explore Listen and do, Recall and do and Say and do, and how these approaches can change the language demands of a craft activity.

Beyond making

Discover how crafts can become props and resources for games, storytelling, play and further language use.

See it in action

Experience a modelled lesson using How Many Sleeps Till Christmas?, combining storytelling, a simple craft and follow-up games.

Meet Fiona

I’m Fiona from Kids Club English. I help teachers of young English learners bring stories, songs, games and creative activities together in ways that support meaningful language learning.

I love exploring how simple, familiar activities can offer rich opportunities for children to listen, interact and use English.

In this workshop, I’ll share practical examples and approaches you can adapt to your own learners and classroom.

I hope you’ll join me!
