English with Mammutico®– Let’s Build and Speak!
The SIMPLE English course was created specifically to work with Mammutico®elements. It’s a proprietary program, written for us by experienced teachers who have been working with children for years.
The methods used by the creators of the SIMPLE English course are based on psychological and pedagogical knowledge. They are a team of professionals with open minds and hearts. Their passion is teaching English, and their mission is to foster creativity and teach in a joyful, engaging way.
English lessons using large foam elements are an additional service that any Mammutico®playground owner can offer. As part of our partnership, we provide 74 lesson plans and training for instructors to lead the course.
If you’d like to organize a course using our elements and have at least two sets (Smart 230 and Simple 110), please contact us—we’ll prepare an offer tailored to your needs.
What is the Simple English course?
SIMPLE English is a unique language journey for children ages 4–9. It offers an adventure based on imagination and play: participants build their own world and communicate in it exclusively in English.
The lessons engage all the senses, stimulate creativity, provide plenty of physical activity, and motivate learning. Meaningful, well-designed group play is the most effective way to use the language freely in everyday situations.
The SIMPLE English Teaching Method
The course is a friendly and effective method for learning English based on construction-based games.
We use large foam pieces that not only make lessons more engaging but also spark the imagination, foster creativity, and encourage active participation.
During class, children use the blocks to create sets and props needed for tasks related to the lesson’s theme—such as a restaurant table, a store counter, a ticket booth, a train station, a doctor’s office, a closet, or clothing.
This setup allows children to fully immerse themselves in the situation. It makes it easier to memorize vocabulary and construct complete sentences. Students work through vocabulary units and apply grammatical structures, following the teacher’s lead according to the curriculum.
While setting up the scene, we actively use English phrases needed to create the scenario. Beyond the specific topic, children learn to communicate with one another in a foreign language. Casual conversations help them quickly become comfortable with English—after just a few lessons, children begin to think in the language.
We focus on the practical use of the language, which is why the curriculum includes scenes and situations that children will actually encounter in the future.
The approach, based on creative, unconventional play, makes learning appealing to children, encourages active participation, and boosts motivation.
In the SIMPLE ENGLISH program, we use the most effective teaching methods
Engagement —involving children through hands-on activities.
language immersion – communicating with children exclusively in English.
Mammutico®elements are more than just teaching aids. Their multifunctionality develops imagination, creativity, and self-confidence; teaches cooperation; and fosters independence.
Working with large elements also exercises motor coordination, gross motor skills, and spatial and logical thinking—skills that facilitate learning to write, read, solve math problems, and navigate new situations.
SIMPLE English courses are used by both children and adults who have not found success in traditional language schools.
