JY’s Active Kids PRIME class:

Prior Knowledge

Relationships

Inspiration and Creativity

Modeling

Excellence

             This class builds on children’s prior knowledge and gives an opportunity for English immersion in a fun and challenging environment. When paired with a JY NuBuYoung or Phonics class, it can give children a great opportunity to practise what they are learning by speaking and listening in a relaxed environment. Students will build a relationship with a native English speaker, allowing them to feel comfortable and build confidence in their own English abilities.  Best of all, the PRIME class inspires children to exercise, use their imagination and create new things through cooking, art, dance, yoga, music, and gymnastics. Many children have found that they are able to speak English without stress while engaging in a fun activity like yoga!

Each Active Kids PRIME class consists of an opening warm up song and dance, a story book reading, and a focus activity. Movement classes include a short muscle warm up and review of body parts; cooking and art classes include a short review of relevant vocabulary. Handouts are provided to reinforce the topics covered in class. In addition, the Highlight’s for Children magazine is used for reinforcing English skills throughout the week at home.
