Young children love to take on the roles of adults and to engage in pretend games of being doctors, teachers, builders, pilots or… vets. In the ‘At the Vet’ set children embark on a mission to save injured animals, take them to a clinic and apply treatments. They need to identify the animals in city and forest settings, take them through a maze in an ambulance and utilise the right medical items in their roles as vets.
At the Vet Set is one of the topic-related sets which aim to teach young children English in a motivating and interactive way. Each set can be treated as an equivalent of a textbook chapter and it contains stories, interactive tasks, games, craft activities and a song. In order to help children internalize the knowledge they gain with EMYS and reflect on their learning in a creative way, each set comes with a 48-page Activity Book. Classroom bundles for institutions can be found at a discounted price here.
