FAQs

What age is this bundle suitable for?

The Story & Play Packs are designed for children aged 3–8 years and are ideal for young learners at Pre-A1 to A1 English level. Activities are simple, playful, and easy to follow.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No prep required! Each pack is print-and-play. You simply print the pages, watch the read-aloud video, and your child can start learning and playing immediately.

What's included?

The bundle includes five classic Aesop’s fables: The Lion and the Mouse, The Tortoise and the Hare, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Fox and the Crow, and The Ants and the Grasshopper. Each Story & Play Pack contains a PDF download with around 50–60 pages of activities, crafts, games, and worksheets, plus a certificate of completion.

Can my child complete the packs independently?

Yes! Many activities are designed for independent learning, but you can also guide your child for extra support or interactive play. However, at theOET, I always recommend participating with your children. Learning a new language is a fun bonding experience, and you provide an immediate role model to your children.
