Use What They Love: Teaching English Through Games, Comics, and Characters

Kids learn best when they care about what they’re doing. By using their favorite characters, games, or comic books, you can turn English learning into something they want to do. Familiar topics reduce resistance, increase attention, and build deeper vocabulary connections.

How Interests Boost Language Skills

• Increased Motivation: Children stay engaged when lessons involve what they love.
• Faster Vocabulary Retention: Repeating phrases tied to a fun theme helps words stick.
• Stronger Speaking Confidence: Kids talk more when they’re excited to share.
• Deeper Comprehension: Known stories and characters help kids infer meaning and understand context.

Ways to Use What They Love in English Learning

Comics and Graphic Novels

Choose age-appropriate comics in English. Visual storytelling supports understanding even when vocabulary is new.

Character Role-Play

Let your child act out scenes as their favorite superhero, animal, or cartoon. Use simple lines like “I can fly!” or “Let’s go!”

Game-Based Vocabulary

Label toys or game items in English. Play by naming the actions: “Roll the dice,” “Pick a card,” “You win!”

Fan Art and Descriptions

Have your child draw a favorite character and describe it in English: “This is Pikachu. He is yellow. He has power.”
