What's It About?
In episodes of LINGOKIDS: MUSIC TO OUR EARS, characters from the Lingokids app like Cowy the Cow and Elliot the Panda appear in narratives that teach about a single topic for two minutes, then a catchy song reinforces the lesson. The friendly and helpful narrator encourages compassion and curiosity throughout, and asks a discussion question at the end of each four to six minute episode. Topics are preschool appropriate, introduce relevant vocabulary, and can be academic, practical, or aimed at building background knowledge
Is It Any Good?
This podcast is a solid choice for positive and educational listening with preschoolers and kindergartners, especially if they enjoy singing along (and parents don't mind repetitive tunes). The episode titles of Lingokids: Music to Our Ears will help adults know whether the topic is more academic, thematic, or practical, and the helpful discussion question posed at the end of each four to six minute episode is a great way to continue conversation on a topic. Content is safe and narration always encourages kindness and curiosity, making this podcast worry-free (and screen-free!) listening.
