At Milton, we have created an app to learn English this summer. Still, if you want to complement it with more practical activities, we offer downloadable resources to keep learning English in a natural and fun way! In this article we share easy ideas to turn your vacation into an educational experience at home.
Why is it important to continue practising English in the summer?
During the summer months, many children become completely disconnected from learning. However, with summer activities for children in English, games and short routines, it is possible to refresh their skills without making them feel like they are “studying”.
Here are some reasons to keep English present during the summer holidays:
- Reinforce what they have learned: Practising vocabulary and some grammatical structures prevents them from forgetting key concepts.
- It makes English an everyday thing: Listening to songs, reading stories or playing games in English at home makes it a “living” language.
- Increase their confidence: Using English without tests or pressure improves fluency and self-esteem.
Free resources for practising English this summer
At Milton we believe that learning doesn’t end when the school year ends. That’s why this summer we want to accompany you with printable educational resources, perfect to enjoy at home or during your holidays.
For preschool: memory game for vocabulary practice
A simple and effective activity: print the worksheets, cut out the images and play to find the pairs. Ideal for reviewing the colors, animals and objects of summer with little ones.
For Primary: “scavenger hunt” game with cards
With these English flashcards for primary school children, they will look for cards hidden around the house or garden, read sentences and match them with the correct picture. Perfect for reviewing basic structures and actively expanding vocabulary.
For Secondary: design your own summer drink
This creative activity invites teens to use English to imagine their ideal soft drink: ingredients, flavour, name, packaging and more. An original way to practise descriptions, food vocabulary and written expression.
