Embedding the language

As you learn the days of the week and then the months, start to use them at the start of everyday for the date in French. There are days and months cards in the extra resources section of the website which you can print off to support this. Work up to the full date in French!

Sample activities You will find a bank of sample activities which you can use to practise the vocabulary in the classroom.

This is not a prescriptive list of activities and you can use or adapt them to suit the needs of your class.
