PlayClub’s specialist educators encourage toddlers to explore in increasingly independent ways whilst nurturing their developing cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills. Children absorb key concept words and phrases through stories, puppets, drama activities, art and craft, and songs. PlayClub is a dynamic learning experience for both children and adults!

At each level, children enjoy tasks that develop the four components of language learning – speaking, listening, reading and writing. Activities such as drama, storytelling, music and movement, art and craft and reading aloud, engage children’s imaginations and creativity as they master writing Chinese characters and eventually full sentences.

Language Skills employs an array of engaging activities that include storytelling, science experiments, picture comprehension, and dynamic reading and writing practice, to fuel primary students’ passion for communicating in Mandarin.  As children at each level master the use of expressive vocabulary, pronunciation and cadence, plus increasingly complex sentence structures, they will learn to appreciate the intricacies of the language and enjoy using it in all areas of life.

Generating a deep understanding of the essential elements of spoken Mandarin and Chinese script, this programme uses a range of strategies to develop students’ creative and expressive abilities, enabling them to create their own works of literature. As students apply their new found skills imaginatively, the result is noticeably more expressive, competent and confident speech and writing.
