🗞️
What's new
The platform grows almost every week. This page is the honest diary of it — every release since the day AylaraTalks was born, newest first.
August 2026
Site-wide search, a friendlier 404 and this page
Press ⌘K (or tap the magnifier) and any of ~2,300 pages — games, packs, tools, articles — is a few letters away. Lost links now land somewhere kind.
Lesson Rooms — a whole lesson in one link
Line up games, practice and printables as steps, name the room, send one link. Nothing is stored — the room lives in the URL.
Dialogues: 20 role-plays for two voices
A shop, a doctor, a birthday, a sleepover — kid-level English with a translation under every line, tap-to-hear audio and cut-out role cards.
A board game and an assessment sheet for every topic
Every topic pack now prints its own roll-and-say board game and a can-do assessment sheet — two new printables in each of the 43 packs.
Class Mode on all sixteen games
Chain activities into a lesson and hop between games without losing the class — plus an activity switcher and a way back on every game.
Two new tools: stations and instruments
A station-rotation timer that runs the carousel for you, and tap-to-play instruments for the music minute — nineteen classroom tools now.
The cabinet learns your students
Student timelines, a weekly report, homework codes to check, one-off lesson moves, siblings and birthdays — the quiet teacher side grew up.
Certificates v2 and whole-topic packs
Prettier certificates printed in batches, and one ZIP that carries a topic's every printable — flashcards to board game — in one download.
The responsive sweep
Every game world, tool and the cabinet re-fitted for every screen from a 320px phone to a classroom board — and the header finally fits every width.
A warmer welcome
A handwritten accent, Aylara's own greeting in a storybook bubble, rounder landing cards — and a simpler cabinet: one-tap start, demo data.
Every game became a world
The wheel is a fairground at dusk, memory a walled garden, the scramble a smithy at night — every game rebuilt as a full scene you step into.
The unicorn moves in
The whole site re-tinted in nude and pastel, a soft serif for the headings, a motto — and a hand-drawn unicorn host who greets you at the door.
The Teacher's Cabinet arrives
Your students, your week and the after-lesson flow in one private corner — on this device by default, in the cloud when you sign in.
The curriculum is written down
Thirteen pages of what to teach and in what order: four age paths, the Cambridge YLE levels, first-ten-lessons plans and the first 100 words.
The characters arrive
Aylo and the eight Starlings — the site's own cast, drawn in light — step onto the pages they were made for. Ten more classroom tools follow.
The Sentence Factory opens
The sixteenth game: word tiles ride a conveyor in a sky workshop, and the class builds English sentences it can be proud of.
Star Quest, the planner and the offline classroom
A team adventure with a hatching class pet, a lesson-plan generator, practice streaks — and the whole site now installs and works when the wifi does not.
Alphabet, phonics and speaking cards
Twenty-six letter pages with worksheets and letter-sounds practice, plus 150 conversation questions in six printable decks and a campfire game to ask them.
Tool pages and thirty collections
Every classroom tool got a full-screen home of its own, and thirty curated collections now walk you from a goal — quiet class, first lesson — to the right games.
The whole product speaks Spanish
469 new pages, written natively — and the same week brought the Classroom Screen, the topic builder, kid practice, embeds and a redesigned home.
Seven blog clusters and the founder's story
Real teaching articles — warm-ups, classroom management, brain breaks — and the honest story of the teacher the site is named after.
The Teacher's Room opens
Printable materials arrive: forty topic packs, ~500 word cards with audio, and deep links that carry a topic straight into the games.
July 2026
AylaraTalks is born
Thirteen classroom games, a bilingual teacher blog and a home at aylaratalks.com — free, no accounts, made for teaching kids English with joy.
