Features: This book comes with a set of cards and a cassette tape. "Cambridge English Cards" is the core of the "1-1-1 Happy Cambridge" English learning system, developed by teachers of Beijing Vision School through practical experience. It is an excellent English learning method that can be used in conjunction with the cassette tape and sentence book. Originating from fun teaching, it is suitable for parents and children to play together, as well as for children to play alone, serving a dual purpose of playing cards and fun learning! Parents should fully recognize the significant role of fun in children's English learning. The purpose of playing English cards is to discard the traditional rote memorization method and introduce an interesting, children-favorite game-based learning approach into the early stages of English learning, solving the great difficulty children encounter in learning English—the mastery of basic vocabulary and sentence patterns! It is particularly noteworthy that when playing English cards, children must say the words and sentences aloud, transforming silent, general-purpose card play into a special, meaningful play! Whether playing cards alone to learn English or using them with textbooks, frequent play can achieve twice the result with half the effort!
Fun Play Methods: Greatly improve memory for words and sentences!
1. Chain Game: Suitable for learning words. Can be played by two or more people. Each card has a letter label, with A being the smallest and Z being the largest, followed by the 26 letter labels in order. After shuffling, players take turns picking cards and lay them down in order of size. The first player to finish all their cards wins. When playing, read the English word on the card while laying it down. Cards with words that cannot be read cannot be played. (High Difficulty) Read the English word and its Chinese meaning simultaneously while playing. (Highest Difficulty) The first player reads only the English word on the card, but the next player must say the Chinese meaning of the previous player's card before reading their own English word to lay it down. Continue in this manner. (Other) Letter Chain Game, suitable for young children learning the 26 English letters. When playing, only read the English letter label on the card. Cards with letters that cannot be read cannot be played.
2. Match Game: Suitable for learning words. Can be played by two or more people. Cards with the same letter label are matched as pairs and laid down together. The order of size is the same as when playing single cards. The player with the fewest remaining cards wins. When playing, read two English words consecutively to lay down a pair. Cards with words that cannot be read cannot be played. (High Difficulty) Read the English word and its Chinese meaning simultaneously while playing.
3. Three-in-a-Row: Suitable for learning words. Three consecutive cards with adjacent letter labels can be laid down as a "sequence." For example, ABC is smaller than BCD, and EFG is smaller than MNO, and so on. When playing, still read the English word on the card. Cards with words that cannot be read cannot be played.
4. Combined Play: Suitable for learning words. Combine the first three play methods and play the English cards like playing poker. Other poker play methods can also be appropriately adapted, as long as English words are read while playing. Students can be creative.
5. Sentence Chain Game: Suitable for learning sentences. The play method is the same as other chain games, but the cards read are sentences. Cards with sentences that cannot be read cannot be played. When playing, follow the principle of progressing from easy to difficult. Start by learning words, and flexibly change the play methods. Once words are read fluently, increase the difficulty by reading sentences.
Note: Due to the large number of cards, you can take one section from the box each time. After using three sections, reshuffle and divide the cards again.
