About CEFR A2
Pluto lessons sit at CEFR A2, with bigger themes and vocabulary that crosses topics. Kids can describe nature, culture, science and their own emotions with more and more precision. The Boss Planet lesson pulls together words from all seven planets, which makes it the widest vocabulary review in the game, for explorers who have finished the rest of Small Universe.
Questions about Pluto
What is taught on Pluto in Small Universe?
Pluto has 14 lessons covering space explorers, robots, magic words, feelings and moods, dream jobs, world cultures, music and dance, inventions, extreme weather, animal habitats, recycling, helping others, a full-day narrative and a boss planet finale. Most lessons can be played in several of the 17 mini-game types, such as matching, memory, bubble pop and odd one out.
What CEFR level is Pluto?
Pluto maps to CEFR level A2. The words and sentence patterns are chosen for that level, and the lessons get harder as you move through the planet.
How many lessons does Pluto have?
Pluto has 14 lessons, and each one takes a few minutes. Replaying a lesson can land on a different game type, so the same words come back without the same activity.
What ages is Pluto suitable for?
Pluto suits kids, teens and adult beginners at CEFR A2. Younger children get simpler tap-and-match games. Some game types open up with the learner's age, so older learners and adults also get games like dictation and conversation.
Do I need to finish earlier planets before playing Pluto?
Yes. Lessons open one at a time, in planet order from Earth to Pluto: each lesson you finish opens the next one, so the first Pluto lesson opens once you finish the last lesson on Uranus. You can replay any lesson that is already open.
