Learning English Together 

Fun Online Quizzes for Primary English Learners

Looking for a way to help your child practise English at home without making it feel like extra homework?

You've probably been there. Your child has English lessons at school, knows quite a few words, but when you ask them a simple question in English, they suddenly go quiet.

That's perfectly normal. Learning a language takes practice, and children need opportunities to use what they've learnt outside the classroom.

At Tailtiu Languages and Travel, we've created a collection of colourful, interactive English quizzes for primary school children. They're designed to make vocabulary revision more enjoyable, give children a chance to practise independently and, importantly, encourage parents to get involved too.

What are the Tailtiu Primary Learner Quizzes?

Our Primary Learner Quizzes are short online activities that help children review and practise English vocabulary.

The quiz collection includes activities such as:

• Amazing Animals Challenge: Practise English through questions about animals.
• Rainbow English Challenge: Explore everyday English vocabulary in a colourful quiz.
• School Day Challenge: Review familiar words connected with school and classroom life.

Each quiz presents a series of questions. Children might choose the correct answer from several options or type a missing word themselves.

After answering, they receive immediate feedback and a short explanation. They can also follow their score, see their progress and try the quiz again.

And there's no need to install special software. The activities run directly in a web browser.

Don't just watch. Join in!

Here's something we'd particularly encourage: sit down with your child and do a quiz together.

You don't need to be an English expert. In fact, sometimes it's more interesting if you're learning alongside them.

Suppose a question asks your child to identify an animal. Rather than immediately helping them select the answer, try asking:

“What do you think it is?”

“Can you say the word in English?”

“What else do you know about this animal?”

These little conversations make a difference to how children engage with the activity. Instead of simply clicking an answer and moving on, they're explaining their thinking and using English to communicate.

You can even let your child become the teacher. Ask them to explain an answer to you.

Children often enjoy showing adults what they know!

Make mistakes part of the activity

Nobody gets every question right, especially when learning a new language.

If your child chooses the wrong answer, don't rush to correct them or make a big issue of it. Have a look at the explanation together.

Then ask them to try again.

For example, if they're practising school vocabulary and forget the English word for an object, look around the room. Can they find something similar? Can they use the word in a sentence?

The idea isn't to get a perfect score on the first attempt. It's to help children recognise what they already know, notice what they need to practise and gradually become more confident.

Five or ten minutes can be enough

You don't need to set aside an entire afternoon.

Try completing one quiz after school, at the weekend or whenever you've got a few spare minutes.

Here's a simple routine:

1. Choose a quiz together. Let your child pick a topic that interests them.
2. Read the questions aloud. Encourage your child to say English words rather than only clicking answers.
3. Discuss tricky questions. Give them time to think before offering help.
4. Review the results. Celebrate what they've remembered and revisit anything they found difficult.
5. Try again another day. See whether the words are becoming more familiar.

Keep it relaxed. If your child is tired or losing interest, stop and come back later.

A short, enjoyable session is a perfectly good place to start.

Ready to give it a try?

The Tailtiu Primary Learner Quizzes are designed as a supplement to English lessons, not a replacement for them.

They're an opportunity to revisit familiar language, practise spelling and vocabulary, and make English part of everyday family life.

And remember, you don't have to speak perfect English to help your child learn. Showing an interest, asking questions and encouraging them to have a go are valuable contributions.

Choose a quiz, sit down together and see how much English your child already knows. You might both learn something new!
