App Profile: Polyglots: Party

The Polyglots are part of the Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) program, funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment and managed by Education Services Australia.

The Polyglots apps are a series of seven engaging play-based language learning apps that encourage preschool and kindergarten children to explore another language and culture. Preschools set the apps to one language from a choice of Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Modern Greek, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese. The Polyglots apps are aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework.

The Polyglots at the Birthday Party replicates the fun and playful environment of a children’s birthday party. This app gives children opportunities to explore the language of numbers through games and activities. Culturally significant music is also introduced.
