Tips
Tips: Build on the co-op experience with a short English-language game: take turns naming objects, describing a picture, and asking a partner a simple question. Invite the child to choose a familiar topic and make a mini illustrated word book, then share it with the group. For a playful listening-and-speaking extension, act out a short story together and let each participant add one sentence. These activities make English practice social, creative, and meaningful.
