Playing together is more fun when everyone can join in. In Let’s Play!, the third Pre-A0+ story from JOYup, Ella, Dave, Mia and Tim spend time together in JOYland Park — and Bunny wants to play too.
The story introduces simple English questions and answers about abilities, as well as useful phrases connected with playing and helping others.
The children find a large, colourful ball and decide to play together.
Bunny joins his friends and shows them that he can run. However, when it is time to play with the ball, Bunny realises that the large ball is not right for him.
His friends notice that he is sad and decide to help. They find a smaller ball that Bunny can play with, so everyone can enjoy the game together.
