How to Talk About Bead Mazes in English

Don’t forget to download the printable poster pdf at the bottom of this post. You can stick it in your home where your child plays with their bead maze and use it to prompt you to teach this vocabulary to your child while they are playing.

We can use the verb 'push':

"Push the bead along."

"Push the bead around the loop."

"Push it down."

Teach your child about speed.

"Can you push it around the loop quickly?"

Imaginative play:

Pretend the beads are cars/rockets/trains/people on a rollercoaster etc.

"Can you put two beads on the longest wire?"

"Can you put three red beads together?"

I hope these phrases are useful. Enter your email below to get your free printable poster of this vocabulary.
