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.
