Using the internet to teach young learners English

Every weekend I help my daughter with her English. The idea is that we do things together that will help her with her reading and writing. As she goes to a Greek school she gets plenty of practice with these skills in Greek, however, they haven't started English yet. I thought that it would be a good idea to expose her to written English through books, games and the web. Her favourite sites are PollyPocket, MyScene and the British Council's Learning Kids. So, here is a short video showing how we used an activity from the Council's site in conjunction with Google Earth.

I'm willing to try any approach as long as it keeps her interest and enthusiasm for learning alive. Too much of what is taught crushes learners natural curiosity about the world around them.
