Bringing French to Life is a photocopiable resource that provides a cross-curricular approach to teaching French in primary schools, combining art, design and foreign languages with various aspects of the National Curriculum such as Literacy, Numeracy and PE.
This unique practical resource comprises an engaging storyline about a day in the life of two French children and gives an opportunity for learners to re-enact their day, using finger puppets, crafts and exciting games to practise new language. Each of the 14 sections begins with a short accessible dialogue in French and is followed by suggestions for using the new vocabulary in pairs, small groups or as a whole class.

The main story is accompanied by fun craft activities linked to the story (one for each section) for children to create in class using the templates and instructions provided. A wide range of further activities follows, consisting of lively games, songs and opportunities to communicate simple ideas. Language extensions are suggested, focussing on imaginative writing and reading ideas linked to the theme of each section.
Written to support the new foreign languages programme of study the book also includes:
- Cross-curricular links to numerous subjects including Literacy, Numeracy, PE and ICT
- Classroom games and activities
- Photocopiable resources and templates for fun classroom activities and projects
