Dear Parents,
Here are some French resources, activities and games that you and your child can enjoy together this summer. I encourage you to use these as a way to keep your child connected to the French language in a fun and playful way!
Online Resources:
https://www.digitaldialects.com/French.htm – here is a great resource to review vocabulary (colors, fruit and vegetables, numbers, etc). Your child can listen to the audio and repeat the word. They can also play some fun and simple games!
https://coucou.telequebec.tv – this is a very child-friendly French language site with games, storytelling and educational programming. It has been specifically designed for preschool age children.
Online Shows:
Tchoupi a l’ecole https://www.youtube.com/@tchoupi – short, 7 minute episodes relatable topics for the children. Even if the children do not understand everything, they can still follow along, while at the same time developing an ear for the French sounds.
Les Nouvelles Aventures de Caillou – https://www.youtube.com/@NouvellesAventuresCaillou
Activity Sheets:
https://www.mamaternelle.com/ – you will find here fun and accessible activity sheets related to the alphabet, numbers, the seasons, and other various themes that you may want to include in your French summer activities.
Songs:
Some of the songs we sang that you could add to your summer playlist:

Hands-on game:
As a way to review or learn new vocabulary, you can play a “Bring Me” game:
Choose a category: colors, food, school/crafting materials, numbers… Ask your child to bring you something in your home environment from the category you choose.
For example:
Fruits:
“Apporte-moi une pomme (bring me an apple), apporte-moi une orange (bring me an orange), apporte-moi une banane (bring me a banana), apporte-moi un ananas (bring me a pineapple), apporte une fraise (bring me a strawberry) etc.
School Items:
“Apporte-moi un crayon, (bring me a pencil), apporte-moi la colle (bring me the glue), apporte-moi le papier (bring me the paper), etc.
At the end of the game, you can ask your child to name the objects he/she brought you.
