How To Make The Most Out Of Our Online Summer Camp: LINGOCAMP! ???

The summer months can seem endless. With longer days, a lack of routine, and the end of wider school community support, everything can seem a bit overwhelming. This summer also presents the unique challenge of restrictions on movement and activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With limited opportunities for summer camps and travel, it can be difficult to find things to look forward to this summer. That’s why we at Lingokids wanted to find a way to make this summer special!

Why An Online Summer Camp?

Online summer camps can be a great way to keep kids entertained this summer, by introducing a fun routine and plenty of exciting new activities! With a clear structure, kids can have something to look forward to every day, in absence of traditional summer activities. Our free virtual summer camp is going to help kids learn all about friendship, community, and responsibility in an engaging setting, while teaching vital skills through playlearning™.

Top Tips to Make the Most out of LingoCamp!

Make Sure To Keep Your App Updated!

LingoCamp will only be available when you update your app. Keep an eye on the App Store and Google Play Store to see our latest updates, signposted by our snazzy LingoCamp designs!

You will also have to update the app during LingoCamp. Don’t worry, we’ll remind you to update so you won’t miss any content!

How Much Time Should We Spend on LingoCamp?

We recommend that you spend the same amount of time on LingoCamp as you normally would on Lingokids. So, four or five times a week for about 15 to 30 minutes at a time.

Treat LingoCamp As A Family Affair!

One benefit of LingoCamp is that it can be something you can all enjoy as a family:

  • Why not set aside space at home that you can treat as your “camp?” Find somewhere comfy and visit it all together once a day to complete the LingoCamp activities. Make sure to continue practicing the activities and the vocabulary your kids have learned once LingoCamp is over.
  • Why not take a walk in nature, where your kids can point out the names of bugs they see?
  • Prepare a picnic inspired by our “Picnic Sticker Game!”
  • Take some time out of your day to practice meditating together, inspired by “Get in the Zen Zone.”

And for our last (and maybe most important) tip! Check the LINGOCAMP page for the latest information and updates!
