Celebrate International Day with this language-focused activity, designed for primary school children. This fun and educational word hunt activity allows children to explore and appreciate 11 different languages from around the world. To begin, children should choose three languages from the 11 featured in the activity and stick the corresponding flags onto their recording sheet. They can then use the recording sheet to find words hidden around the classroom, such as “Friends,” “Water,” and “Book” for MP1/Key Stage 1 children. MP1/Key Stage 1 children are tasked with finding three words for each of their choosen languages, while MP2 and MP3 children are challenged to find five and seven words, respectively. As they find the words, children copy down the word in the script of their chosen languages. The 11 languages featured in the activity are Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Polish, German, Vietnamese, Thai, Khmer (Cambodian), Russian, and Kannada (a language of India). This activity allows children to discover the similarities and differences between languages, promoting respect and fascination for the languages of the world. It’s a great way to foster a love for learning about different cultures and languages in a fun and engaging way! The activity typically lasts 50-60 minutes, depending on the skill of the word hunters. It’s worth noting that all the words have been verified by adult speakers of the language.
