English Conversation Starters For Kids: The Ultimate Compilation

 In 2020, the world is more connected than ever.

This means more children need English to communicate with each other.
Also, the more English they know now, the better their future opportunities will be.
So, today’s parents often ask what is the best way for young kids to learn to speak English?

The solution to this problem is quite simple:

The best way to learn to speak English is… by speaking English.

That sounds easy enough, right?
Whether you choose a private tutor, an international school or a mobile application, practicing is key.

However, a school has its limitations: young learners should have the time to enjoy learning English in a fun and casual setting.
Kids like to talk about different things than adults. 

So, what should you talk about then?
To solve this problem, our team of ESL experts has put together the ultimate collection of conversation starters for kids with 3 to 7 year-olds in mind (Pre A-1 and A-1). 

 

You can now use these conversation topics at home with your child to accelerate their English language acquisition.  

This means quality time with your child while having fun conversations. To help you even more, we have an added bonus: Click the “Play” button next to each question to listen to the pronunciation!
