Zig-Zag Magic - Teacher's Book

Key features

• Children are introduced to language through play, ensuring that their first encounter with English is non-threatening and fun.
• Children join the characters Katy and Tom as they travel around an island inhabited by animals in Zig-Zag Island, the first level, and around another island occupied by magic characters in Zig-Zag Magic, the second level. This sets the context for songs, games and stories covering a variety of topics such as the family, toys and food.

• Cut-outs for easy-to-make items such masks, puppets and cards are included.
