This time, we will use the lyrics of "💿【28】Where Is Mickey?," featured in DWE Blue, and the contents of the corresponding "📙BOOK3" as seeds to cultivate the seeds of learning "English at Home"📝🌱

1 Introduction of the venue

This song depicts Mickey and his friends playing hide-and-seek and then trying to find each other.

“The phrase "Where is Mickey?" is repeated many times, making this a fun song that will help develop your ability to "search and find in English" 🔍✨

This scene perfectly links with the world of hide-and-seek that often appears in DWE's ZAM series!

If you're in the midst of a ZAM boom, be sure to try combining and using this song!

The phrase "Where is ○○?" appears repeatedly in ZAM, so it's easy to master the flow of "search → find" in English.

Furthermore, when you find

There he is!
There she is!
There they are!

These are phrases that are naturally input through ZAM and this song.

In fact, this "search → find" interaction also appears in "Peekaboo!" from Play Along! 1!

Little baby, where are you?
There you are! Peekaboo!

I'm sure many children will already have the set of "Where ~?" and "There ~!" in their minds when they hear this call.

One of the charms of DWE is that you can see your "language pattern" grow little by little through the flow of PA → ZAM → SA → BOOK.

By focusing on these connections in Home English, you can take your child one step closer to going from "knowing the phrase" to "being able to use it."

I hope this will lead to more scenes where children can develop language through play.

🍀How do you use "Where"?

~Master the interrogative word "where" that appears in "Where Is Mickey?"~

The key phrase in this song is...

Where is Mickey?
(Where's Mickey?)

In this way,The interrogative word used to ask about a location is where is🧭

● "Where" is an interrogative word!

In a previous article what or who I introduced how to use
where is also a commonly used interrogative word (interrogative adverb).

📘 Book 3 / p.29

  • Where is everyone?(Where is everyone?)
  • Where are Pluto's friends?(Where are Pluto's friends?)

In this way, even within the "basic question set" of "who, what, where,"
Asking for "location"Noga where It is the role of

● The key to answering is "preposition + location"“

Where is everyone?
Everyone is behind the sofa.(They're all behind the sofa.)

And so on.“Answer in the form of "preposition + location"This is the standard style✨

Here are some commonly used prepositions:

  • in(inside)
  • on(above)
  • under(under ~)
  • behind(behind ~)
  • next to(next to)

These expressions are used in ZAM and house play.Hide and seekBut it works great 🎵

● "Where" can also be used as a relative pronoun!

actually where for,“A face that is more than just a question markThere is also.

UsageroleExample sentences
Interrogative adverbs"Where?" I ask.Where are you going?(Where are you going?)
relative adverbsDescribing a location, such as "a place to do something"This is the place where I met Mickey.This is where I met Mickey.

In this way,where is not only used as an interrogative word,It also has the role of "explaining the location in detail"That's it 💡

Grammatically, they can also be used as conjunctions or prepositions, but it's a good idea to first understand the difference between "interrogative adverbs" and "relative adverbs"👍

🌼Examples of how to say "Where" in everyday life🌼

  • Where is your teddy?(Where's Kuma-chan?)
  • Where do you want to sit?(Where do you want to sit?)
  • Where's mommy?(Where's Mommy?)

"Where" is a versatile word that can be used when searching for something close to home, during play, or in bedtime conversations.

When you can say this one word,
Be able to communicate "search → find" in Englishbut also
Your child's powers of observation and expression will naturally develop.
Please try incorporating these phrases little by little into your English conversations!

✅Parody song for when you're looking for something (Rino)

In my house, we made an advent calendar by punching holes in an envelope containing a picture book and threading a string through it, and hung it on the jungle gym.While searching for Mickey, we changed the lyrics of "Where is Mickey" to "Where is today's envelope?" and sang it.

Try changing the phrase to "Where is ○○?" and talking to them in a way that suits the situation! We also have a children's jungle gym at home, so we change it to "look behind the jungle gym" or "look beside the jungle gym" and have them search while also inputting prepositions, which is a fun activity.🕵

💭 A word from the blog administrator
Like Rino-san,Parodying English songs to make them more relevant to daily lifeI feel that ideas are truly the origin of home English 😊🌿

In addition to the phrase "where" to ask about a location, you can also use phrases like "look behind" and "look beside."The subtle introduction of prepositionsHats off to you ✨

Without feeling pressured to "talk to them" or "teach them English,"It helps me realize that English is already there in the joyful moments of everyday life.This practice.
My heart was warmed by the thought of how amazing mommy's sense is. 🌸 In this way, someone's "idea at home" can become another person's "inspiration for tomorrow" - that connection is wonderful. 💖
