Inspiration to keep practising French during half-term

Summer Half-Term break at home… doesn’t sound very exciting, even more so for your little ones! Don’t panic, we have selected loads of fun online activities and ideas to help them learn and practise French!

It’s not all about watching videos and sitting in front of a screen either – we hope that our selection will inspire you and your children to try new things: grow your own veg or test a new recipe…

Did you watch our French teachers’ video? If not, you can see it on our Youtube channel. We are all missing you so much that we wanted to send you a special message, and share with you what we like to do at home.

À vous ! And now it’s your turn! Follow the video (text & movement) and show us “en français” your favourite lockdown activity.

We would be SO happy to see what you are up to and hear you speak French. Can’t wait to see your videos!
