My son likes role playing very much.
Sometimes I use it in our unschooling because it makes studying funny and easy. As a rule we take some of his toys, and of them is a teacher, and the other is a student.
And we both say words for them;) It worked fine when we studied some English phrases. Repetition helped my son to remember them fast, and the game gave lots of fun to such remembering.
Today in the morning I saw a wondeful picture: my son organised a new role game for his toys, where he was a teacher of English, and his toys were his students!;))
It was a cool idea! I was interested in listening to what he was telling them, what words he used;) It meant he felt rather confident in this info if he thought he was their teacher;)
He studied his cute rabbit toys an English alpabet;) He pronounced how the letter was called, how it sounded, and his rabbits were listetning very attentively;))
I guessed...why he chose these very cute rabbits, and he was hunting for them in all markets rather long...why??
Then I understood!
We watched a small educational video for kids where rabbits were speaking English, and this cartoon helped kids to remember first English words.
That's was the answer!
Rabbits!
And he wanted to have English speaking rabbits as well;)))
