Enjoy the relaxed children, parents & carers environment and a little bit of Manx

🌈 What is Possan Cloie?

Possan Cloie is Mooinjer Veggey’s family playgroup for babies, toddlers, and young children.
Through stories, songs, crafts and play, we gently introduce Manx language in a warm, supportive environment where children learn naturally alongside their grown-ups.

Our sessions are full of fun, music and creativity — perfect for helping little ones explore language, make friends, and feel part of our island’s culture.

👶 Who is it for?

Possan Cloie is for:

  • Babies, toddlers & preschool children

  • Parents, grandparents & caregivers

  • Families who already use Manx or those who are completely new to the language

No experience of Manx is needed — everyone is welcome.

🎵 What happens in a session?

Each weekly session includes:

  • Songs & Rhymes — simple Manx words introduced through music

  • Storytime — bilingual tales and traditional Manx themes

  • Creative Play — crafts, sensory activities and themed play

  • Mini Manx Moments — everyday words and phrases to try at home

Everything is playful, gentle and developmentally appropriate.
Children learn naturally through joining in, watching, and exploring.

💷 Cost

Sessions are £2 to attend, but donations are always appreciated and help us continue offering Manx-medium early years experiences.

📍 Where & When?

Possan Cloie sessions run weekly across the island.

 

❤️ Why Manx in Early Childhood?

Early exposure to a second language:

  • strengthens communication and confidence

  • supports cognitive development

  • builds cultural connection

  • helps children grow up proud of their Manx identity

Possan Cloie gives families a joyful and accessible way to bring Manx into everyday life.
