Suggestions for the Winter Break
« Have your child read the
books in their book bag and red duotang to practise vocabulary. Use the audio
dictionary on the Roméo Dallaire website to assist with pronunciation.
« Have your child make
flashcards to create a matching game with vocabulary words or sight words.
« Have your child keep a
daily journal. Ask them to write a few sentences about the date, the weather,
temperature, what they did that day, how they are feeling or what they are
wearing.
« Practice saying the date
out loud.
« Watch a French program or
choose a favourite movie and watch it in French! Don’t forget to use the
captioning on your T.V as this actually encourages children to read the words
on the screen rather than watch the movie/show passively.
« Visit your local Public
Library. Your local library carries a good selection of French books for
children and they can be on loan for three weeks at a time!

« Change the settings and
play a favourite video game in French!
« Play outside and have
some winter fun!
