The fun, new three-level British English course with fully integrated DVD motivating pre-schoolers to learn through memorable stories and songs.This great new series focuses on the real-life pre-school environment, a familiar setting for little ones to start learning English through other subjects. Monkey (the puppet) starts every lesson in a fun way and the children’s enthusiasm for English builds from the beginning. Through easy-to-follow classroom routines for each lesson, children also learn to develop good habits and good behaviour. Playtime’s lively stories present natural language in familiar contexts – using integrated DVD as well. • Young children love to sing and there is a great variety of song in Playtime which motivates and encourages participation from young learners • Story song: Children join in the telling of the story for that unit by singing and doing actions (TPR). Children remember the language of the story in a natural way – through song. • Song/chant • To practise vocabulary covered in that unit • Routine songs – to help you divide the lesson and manage the class – i.e. Hello and Tidy Up songs • Festival songs – one song for each festival/holiday covered
