Everyday Conversations
Conversation practice for kids.
Words for everyday moments.
Asking for help, saying hello, joining a game: practise real-life conversations at home, at your child's pace, before the real moment comes.
Everyday Conversations
Picture-book stories with Sam and his teacher, Ms. Lee. Your child can read along or watch, and replay any line.
- I need help: ask for help, explain a difficulty, ask someone to show you.
- Getting to know you: share your name, age, favourite colour and things you like.
- Everyday needs: ask for the bathroom, some water or a quiet break.
- Joining play: ask for a turn, handle "no", and join a game.
Every story has three sentence levels, First words, Short conversations and More to say. These are steps, not age labels, so start wherever feels comfortable.
Talk Time
Talk Time, inside Sentence Safari, walks through 13 real-life situations, each in four realistic pictures: at the café, the grocery store, meeting a new friend, asking for help at lunch, when it is too loud, a birthday party, a video call with grandma, the library, a doctor checkup, a haircut, joining play at the park, homework first then play, and getting ready for school.
- A First → Then board opens each round, and your child picks what comes after.
- Listen cards keep the words hidden until your child answers, so they practise listening, not reading.
- Talk cards offer two good answers. Your child picks one, hears it, then says it, records it or types it.
- ✋ I need a break is always there.
- Hear our conversation plays the whole exchange back with your child's own recordings, which stay on your device.
Tips for grown-ups
- Practise a situation a day or two before it happens, like a haircut or a doctor visit.
- Act it out afterwards with toys or in real life.
- Any way of answering counts: saying, typing or choosing. Nothing is graded by speech.
