English classes for children are highly recommended because in them, children are able to look beyond and have a broad perspective of what they learn. They apply their knowledge in life and to the outside world. In this phase they can talk, write and have Reading in English for children but we must continue to use games in English for children.
The most important thing in this phase is not to put pressure on the child with memorizing the language. Sometimes they don't feel in the right environment and this can cause them to lose motivation. I recommend that you collaborate with them with active methodologies at home.
Learning English by heart and without meaning is boring and unmotivating. We must find a relaxed environment to do this and to use creative games. It is good to use more complex games in English for children where you can see numbers, food, time, animals and all kinds of vocabulary. The child has to have fun not to think about syntax or grammar, but to feel free to practice.
You can play with your family or with more children:

One player is the wolf and stands with his back to the rest of the group several meters from the starting line.
The players in the group ask him:” What's the time, Mr. Wolf?”
The wolf turns around and answers:“Have o'clock” or any other time.
The players will take as many steps as the time said by the wolf, getting closer to the wolf.
The game continues the same way, but when the wolf says:” Dinner time”, players will try not to be caught by the wolf crossing the starting line.
If the wolf catches someone, they will become the new wolf, but if they don't catch anyone, the game with the same wolf is restarted.
This set can also be used in any routine for going to bed or when it's time for dinner at home.
It's another fun game to review the alphabet, it will be familiar to you and you can start using simpler words and complicate it little by little.
A fun game where the child will learn vocabulary in English and writing.
It's about reading a word (about food, a means of transport, an animal...) and drawing it. The other has to guess what it is and say it in English. So you can review the vocabulary of the house, animals, places, body parts and draw like an artist.
It's a very useful game for remembering vocabulary, someone starts by saying ” I went to the market to buy...” eg ” some milk” and the next one repeats what the previous one said, adding something else. Example ” I went to the market to buy some milk and a packet of biscuits” and so on until you finish all the vocabulary and the chain stops. Quite a challenge! You can also use other structures such as ” I went on an excursion and I saw...” eg ” a monkey”.
In this learning phase it is good to use flashcards with drawings. And read books for Learn English with a little more difficulty than at younger ages, here are some examples: Disgusting Denzil, Animal Trickster, Pirate Poems, The Personality Potion, Big Game Adventure
La English language acquisition for children in these phases it will provide greater intellectual development, linguistic stimuli, greater cognitive development and many more possibilities in the future.
