  The pedagogy of teaching and learning has changed with the proliferation of
communication technology and it is necessary to develop interactive learning
materials for children that may improve their learning, catching, and
memorizing capabilities. Perhaps, one of the most important innovations in the
age of technology is multimedia and its application. It is imperative to create
high quality and realistic learning environment for children. Interactive
learning materials can be easier to understand and deal with their first
learning. We developed some interactive learning materials in the form of a
video for Playgroup using multimedia application tools. This study investigated
the impact of students' abilities to acquire new knowledge or skills through
interactive learning materials. We visited one kindergartens (Nursery schools),
interviewed class teachers about their teaching methods and level of students'
ability of recognizing English alphabets, pictures, etc. The course teachers
were provided interactive learning materials to show their playgroups for a
number of sessions. The video included English alphabets with related words and
pictures, and motivational fun. We noticed that almost all children were very
interested to interact with their leaning video. The students were assessed
individually and asked to recognize the alphabets, and pictures. The students
adapted with their first alphabets very quickly. However, there were individual
differences in their cognitive development. This interactive multimedia can be
an alternative to traditional pedagogy for teaching playgroups.
