Pupils choose 8 rays to describe an important man in their life, decorate them and glue them to the sun template. The centre says “My dad is” but also has options for step-dad, carer and a blank option. This is a great activity for working on dictionary skills, adjectives and personal descriptions. Pupils could even trace the rays and come up with their own descriptions for their father figure. These could be made into a lovely personalised card. Also available: Personalised Mother’s Day Flower Card. For amazing French and Spanish resources visit lovelanguage.

This activity is taking more of a creative approach allowing pupils to design their own flag. It comes in three forms: blank flag, English writing and French writing so pupils can work on whichever skill they need. For example, a pupil who loves football could draw himself playing football or a football pattern and underneath write, “Ce drapeau me représente car j’adore le foot. Je le joue avec mes copains…” etc. If you wanted to go all out you could find some old pillowcases, get the fabric paints out and turn these designs into real flags to hang around the school. Wouldn’t that be fun?! You might also be interested in: European Day of Languages Board Game European Day of Languages QR Code Quiz For amazing French and Spanish resources visit lovelanguage.
