Hooray! Let's play! Second Edition

Children are encouraged to use all their senses to understand and reproduce new language, aiding learning and retention. Hooray! Let’s play! Second Edition aims to involve as many senses as possible during the language-learning process through motivating games, stories, action stories and songs. The use of music, movement and rhymes helps to develop memory in a fun way.

By using Hooray! Let’s play! Second Edition children train their thinking skills, thereby developing both their language and their ability to reason. Specific Thinking Skills activities are designed to develop key cognitive skills, such as focussing attention, recognising similarities and differences and identifying and continuing sequences.

Hooray! Let’s play! Second Edition develops children’s social, emotional and spatial skills by encouraging them to work together, play, resolve problems and reproduce actions and key language.

Stories make an essential contribution to the cultural, social, emotional and ethical development of a child. In Hooray! Let’s play! Second Edition motivating and enjoyable value-based stories encourage children to remember language and understand sequences of events while creating an awareness and understanding of key social values, such as cooperation, friendship and sharing. 

Care is taken to ensure that children experience the act of language learning as a positive one right from the beginning and are enthusiastic and motivated by the activities they are required to do. Peter, Rosie, Connie and Tom quickly befriend the children and create a positive and warm learning environment.

Hooray! Let’s play! Second Edition is fun and easy to teach allowing children to learn in a natural and memorable way. Teachers are provided with teaching notes, games and activities for engaging and up-to-date lessons in the classroom, all of which can be found in the Teacher’s DIGI Pack/Presentation Software (IWB).
