Teaching Resources: French Holiday Vocabulary Using Mr Bean's Holiday Extract

This is a fun way to introduce the holiday topic or to revise vocabulary. I have taken the end part of the Mr Bean's Holiday film where Mr Bean walks around the beach to the sound of La Mer by Charles Trenet. The YouTube link is on the sheet.

The students have to watch the extract and tick the things they see from the following list:

un palmier
une caravane
un embouteillage
un auberge de jeunesse
un hôtel
une mobylette
il pleut
des planches de surf
un parasol
un transat
des lunettes de soleil
un terrain de pétanque
un seau
un requin
la mer
un pédalo
des pistes cyclables
des bateaux
des serviettes de bain
un terrain de golf
un ballon de plage
\une glace le volleyball
un maillot de bain

I show the extract twice and whilst most students check their answers the stronger students can then try to unjumble the song lyrics.

Enjoy!
