About CEFR A2
Uranus lessons target the CEFR A2 level. Kids understand sentences about familiar topics, get by in simple everyday situations, and describe what has happened to them using connected vocabulary. Time, money and describing people are the topics that make A2 conversations possible, and these lessons cover them.
Questions about Uranus
What is taught on Uranus in Small Universe?
Uranus has 15 lessons covering dinosaurs, fairy tales, pirates, superheroes, birthday party, restaurant, camping, months, telling time, face, sports, money, comparisons, describing people and story time. 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 Uranus?
Uranus 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 Uranus have?
Uranus has 15 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 Uranus suitable for?
Uranus 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 Uranus?
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 Uranus lesson opens once you finish the last lesson on Neptune. You can replay any lesson that is already open.
