NEW learnenglish Kids

We have now settled in to our new site and we hope you have found your way around. Thanks to all of you who have sent us mail to tell us what you think. We are always open to suggestions and comments about how we can make the site better, so please write to us here.

WHat's new?

You will find several new word of the week videos on the site featuring words such as chill, click and messy. There are also some new jokes and tongue twisters . We have a new game about football just in time for the World Cup, and the your turn activity asks members to write and tell us which country they think is going to win it!

Learnenglish kids on facebook, twitter and you tube!

Thank you to everyone who has visited our Facebook page. We now have over 1100 people there. Please do recommend it to friends who have or teach small children. We would love to see you there! To check out our Facebook page click here.
You can also find us on Twitter and YouTube.

Good news! You can now download our songs and stories.

Many parents and teachers ask us if they can download our songs and stories to use them when they don't have an internet connection. We are happy to tell you that this is now possible. We have given our songs and stories a new look and added the option for you to download them. Check out our 'new look' Incy Wincy Spider song to see what we mean. Soon, all our songs and stories will look like this and be downloadable. We hope this will mean more children can enjoy our website even without an internet connection.

tips for teachers

This month's tip for teachers is about using LearnEnglish Kids to give your students homework. Using the site for homework activities can make a nice change to the normal tasks and it has the added advantage of getting parents involved too.
