PACK

Greeting people, sharing celebrations

Get started with films and e-flashcards

Young beginners are fascinated to see real French children, filmed at school, at home, and out in their communities.

Planned language progression

Each section throughout the three packs gradually progresses children’s language skills - with many new activities, songs and links with literacy and numeracy work.

Teacher’s Manuals - full of ideas

The Manuals help you plan lessons using the films as a starting point. The photocopiable activity sheets

support speaking-and-listening activities: pupils enjoy using French while playing board games, outdoor “boules”, etc.

Topics covered

In Pack 1,“Salut! Ça va?”, children learn to talk about themselves in French, and find out about other people. It covers these topics:
