Play in English Lesson Flow
1. Warm-Up (Approximately 10 Minutes）
This is a warm-up time for children to talk with the teacher and play together with toys.
Parents can relax and chat with other parents or teachers about parenting in either Japanese or English.

2. Morning Circle
Everyone gathers in a circle to say hello!
Using expressions like "Hello" and "How are you?", the teacher speaks to each child individually, ensuring they have opportunities to speak English.

3. Routine Songs
We sing set songs together each week, starting with the ABCs and then our Color songs.
Teachers use handmade materials to interact with the children, encouraging natural speech.

4. Monthly-Themed Songs and Crafts
We sing and dance to songs matching the month’s theme and work on a different craft each week.
(Examples: February - "Family & Love," July - "Space," September - "Vehicles.")
Kids love creating things with their hands! Craft time also provides a natural opportunity for shy children to use English.

5. Activities and Games
Using the crafts they’ve made, children engage in activities and games designed by the teacher.
Through hands-on experiences, they develop a closer connection to English and learn naturally.

6. Free Time
This is free time for children and parents to play together using the school’s toys.
The teacher is available in the classroom, so feel free to ask any questions about English, parenting, or culture!
