Hi, friends! Welcome to today’s English fun time. Let’s learn English with things many kids in Chile know and love: cartoons, toys, sweet snacks, books, music, hobbies, and school words. Read slowly, smile, and try to say the new words out loud. You can do it!

Ready? Let’s go on a bright English adventure together.

Cartoons Kids Are Watching in Chile

Many kids in Chile enjoy funny, exciting, and colorful cartoons. Some popular shows children often talk about are Bluey, Pokémon Horizons, Miraculous, SpongeBob SquarePants, and The Amazing World of Gumball. These shows have jokes, action, friendship, and big feelings.

When you watch a cartoon in English, listen for simple words like friend, family, run, jump, and happy. Cartoons are a fun way to train your ears.

Toys & Collectibles

Kids also love cool things to play with and collect. In Chile, many children enjoy trading cards, plush toys, mini figures, building sets, slime kits, fidget toys, and board games. Card collections and surprise mini toys can be very exciting because you never know what you will get.

You can practice English with toys too. Try sentences like: This is my toy. These are my cards. I have a blue plush bear.

Sweet Treats & Candies

Chile has many sweet snacks that children recognize. Some famous treats are Super 8, Frugelé, Chokita, gomitas, alfajores, and cookies with manjar. Sweet treats can be fun for a special moment with family or friends.

In English, you can say: I like chocolate. My favorite candy is fruity. Remember: sweets are best sometimes, not all the time. Drink water and brush your teeth.

Books & Stories

Books open magic doors. Many readers from ages 8 to 13 enjoy Papelucho, Dog Man, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Matilda, and adventure stories like Percy Jackson. Some kids like comics, some like mysteries, and some like silly stories that make them laugh.

If you read a little English every day, even one page, your vocabulary can grow. Try reading the title, the pictures, and a few easy sentences first.

Music & Dance

Music makes English fun. Many children enjoy animated movie songs, children’s choirs, clean pop songs, kid-safe K-pop dance practice, and school cueca activities. Dancing helps you remember rhythm and words.

Try easy music words: song, dance, sing, beat, and clap. You can say: I can dance. I can sing with my friends.

Hobbies & After-School Fun

After school, many kids in Chile enjoy football, basketball, biking, skating, swimming, drawing, crafts, baking, robotics clubs, and video games with family rules. Some children like collecting stickers, growing plants, or making friendship bracelets.

Hobbies are great for English practice. You can say: I play football. I draw comics. I ride my bike. My hobby is painting.
