10 Fun and Easy Ways to Help Your Child Learn English at Home

Learning English at home doesn’t have to feel like schoolwork. In fact, the best way to support your child is to make language learning part of your daily life: natural, fun, and full of curiosity! Whether your child is a complete beginner or already picking up some words, here are 10 fun and easy ways to help your child learn English at home, Primeduk style!

1. Turn Daily Routines into English Moments

Start small! Use English phrases during routines like brushing teeth, preparing snacks, or getting dressed. Phrases like “Let’s brush your teeth” or “Put on your socks” introduce useful vocabulary effortlessly.

Pro Tip: Repeat these phrases daily and slowly build up with more words like colors or actions.

2. Sing Songs and Nursery Rhymes Together

Kids love music, and songs are a powerful tool for learning pronunciation, rhythm, and vocabulary. Choose simple, catchy English songs like “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” or “If You’re Happy and You Know It.”

Why it works: Music boosts memory and helps kids mimic natural pronunciation patterns.

3. Create a “Word of the Day” Jar

Write simple English words on small pieces of paper and place them in a jar. Each day, your child picks one, learns it, draws it, or uses it in a sentence. This builds curiosity and vocabulary little by little.

Idea: Include common words like “apple,” “run,” or “blue.”

4. Label Things Around the House

Use sticky notes to label furniture, toys, and other household objects in English. Say the words with your child and encourage them to find and name the labels during the day.

Learning tip: Turn it into a game—“Can you find the word window?”

5. Watch English Cartoons with Subtitles

Shows like Peppa Pig, Cocomelon, or Bluey offer rich language exposure in fun, short episodes. Use subtitles to help connect sounds with words. Sit and watch together to discuss new words or actions.

Make it better: Pause and ask, “What did she say?” or “Can you say that?”

6. Play Simple English Games

Games like “Simon Says,” “I Spy,” or matching games (colors, numbers, shapes) in English are fantastic for building listening and speaking skills.

Example: “Simon says touch your nose!” – Great for body parts and following instructions.

7. Read English Picture Books Every Night

Choose age-appropriate books with colorful images and simple sentences. Reading aloud helps children understand sentence structure and word flow.

PRIMEDUK picks: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar

8. Speak English When Playing Pretend

Role-playing is magical for language learning. Whether pretending to be a chef, doctor, or teacher, use simple English phrases like “What would you like to eat?” or “You have a fever!”

Parent tip: Let your child lead the play. You follow and gently add English into the dialogue.

9. Use English Learning Apps or Flashcards

Digital tools can support your child’s progress. Use age-appropriate apps that are interactive and reward progress. Alternatively, printed flashcards with pictures are a hands-on tool for younger kids.

Choose apps: That don’t just teach words, but show usage in context.

10. Celebrate Progress – No Matter How Small

Clap, cheer, or give a high-five every time your child says a new word or completes a simple sentence. Positive reinforcement builds confidence and encourages your child to keep trying.

Remember: A little praise goes a long way.
