Let's play and Learn English

Today there was an English Speaking club dedicated to board games 🎲 where we improved our English while playing games from “Activate: Games for Learning American English “. We also practiced describing and guessing different objects related to specific topics. Then we played “What do I know about?” board game where participants explained what they knew about different countries, animals, food etc.

At the end of a meeting everyone was able to ask any questions they had to each other. We had a great 👍 english practice and we all are excited to meet next week))) Join us on skype every Tuesday and Thursday.

Sleeping and Dreaming

Is sleeping  entertainment or necessity? How many hours of sleep do people need at night? These and other questions were discussed during online meeting of English speaking club that was held by Window on America Center for Future Leaders on July, 14th. We started with an "Icebreake" to find out each other's different sleeping habits. 

Then our American volunteers taught us some “Sleeping Vocabulary and Idioms,” and we had a chance to practice them while discussing our opinions about sleep and dream. We also read and talked about some Cool Funny Quotes and tried to explain their meaning and find their equivalent in Ukrainian.

Disney Magic Kingdom

Сьогодні, на черговій п'ятничній зустрічі літніх читань сектору документів іноземними мовами, які проходять щотижня у Херсонській обласній бібліотеці для дітей імені Дніпрової Чайки, нові читачі відкривали для себе  "Чарівний світ Діснею". Діти вгадували назви мультфільмів, їх персонажів та, як зазвичай, вивчали англійську мову. Мали змогу пограти у такі ігри як "Who am I?", "Категорії" та онлайн гру на платформі Кahoot!

Усі учасники зустрічі отримали заряд позитиву та енергії на весь день й з нетерпінням чекають наступної зустрічі. 

Treats and Summer Desserts

On July, 7 Window on America Center for Future Leaders had an online meeting of English speaking club where we talked about treats, sweets and summer desserts. We discussed some questions and revised the vocabulary . We also played the "Guessing" game where participants should have guessed the dessert by the way it’s cooked. So we had a really “sweet” topic today.

The US Independence

Every year Window on America Center for Future Leaders has meetings dedicated to "The 4th of July" and this year was no exception but it was in a different format - we had an online meeting of English Speaking Club where we talked a lot about the USA Independence Day. Thanks to american volunteers  who helped us to learn more about this holiday, its traditions and activities that are popular on this day! The participants also compared traditions of celebration the Independence Day in the United States and Ukraine. At the end we played "Taboo" game which was fun because we had to explain the words about America without saying any unmentionables words.
