Just a few minutes a day can make a real difference to learning English. This desk calendar accompanies children throughout the school year, from 1 September to 30 June, helping them build a simple, effective and enjoyable daily learning routine.

Each day features a short microlearning activity, including language games, rhymes, riddles, creative mini-challenges and ideas linked to special celebrations or the culture of English-speaking countries. These bite-sized activities are designed to spark curiosity and maintain engagement without adding to the school workload. Every activity is clear, inclusive and ready to use, even for teachers who are not English specialists. No lengthy preparation is required—simply open the calendar and get started. Colourful illustrations support understanding and make each activity even more accessible and engaging.

The calendar is undated, making it reusable year after year and easy to adapt to the pace of any class. In addition, the reverse side of each page provides extra ideas to extend and enrich the activity.

THE AUTHOR

Chiara Colucci discovered the world of educational games thanks to her passion for the Spanish language. She created her first learning resources at a very young age to help herself learn Spanish, then went on to develop materials for her own students and, later, published a number of titles with leading educational publishers.

Her motto is “Learning through play!”, which is also the name of the Facebook group she founded to promote game-based learning and educational games.
