Make English Learning Fun with Hands-On STEAM Kits

Incorporating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) into English language education opens up exciting, interactive learning opportunities. STEAM Kits like these 10 exciting projects for EFL/ESL students offer a hands-on approach that not only makes learning more engaging but also improves language retention by connecting new vocabulary and concepts to real-world activities. Whether you’re teaching in a classroom or hosting a special event, BINGOBONGO’s STEAM Kits are perfect for making language learning both fun and educational.

Why STEAM Kits Are Perfect for Learning English

Make English hands-on and super fun!

STEAM Kits are not only about learning science, technology, or art—they’re also fantastic tools for improving English skills. Every STEAM Kit comes with:

  • 4 pages of worksheets: Each worksheet is designed to enhance vocabulary, grammar, and other language skills, reinforcing concepts learned during the activity.
  • Lesson videos: These videos walk students through the STEAM projects, providing instructions and opportunities to practice listening comprehension in English.
  • Digital flashcards and online games: Complement the hands-on experience with additional online resources to practice vocabulary and grammar in a fun, interactive way.

The combination of hands-on learning and language practice ensures that students stay engaged while building a strong foundation in English.

When to Use STEAM Kits

Try STEAM Kits in events and monthly special lessons

STEAM Kits are perfect for special events like summer school or one-off workshops, but they can also be incorporated into your regular curriculum. Many teachers using the BINGOBONGO English Curriculum find that they have more classroom time for STEAM activities because students are completing the bulk of their language learning at home with the At Home Challenge Cards. We recommend using STEAM Kits as often as once a month to keep students excited about learning.
