This popular resource book from Merryman Primary Resources Ltd takes Primary School children through a year long journey of fêtes and festivals. From “Le jour de l’an” and “la fête des Rois” in January, “le carnaval” in February, “le jour du muguet” in May, “la fête de Jean de la fontaine” in June, the “fête nationale” in July, through the autumn months of “la récolte” to “la fête de Saint Nicolas” and “le jour de Noël” in December, this copiable resource book for teachers of Primary French is packed with information, activities and pictures. This edition contains activities including map work and literacy tasks for Years 5 & 6, linked to two of the festivals, more information on festivals in France including the Menton Lemon Festival, and more pictures. Activities include suggestions for traditional songs and stories, ideas for games, two recipes, ideas for language activities and art. The fifteen copiable pictures are ideal starting points for talking about the geography of the country, its customs and traditions, for labelling and for colouring activities. “Fêtes et festivals” is a valuable resource in its own right but can be combined with “Chante Noël”, an audio CD of sixteen traditional and original songs for Christmas, “Voeux de Noël”, a Christmas resource book and CD and Jeux de Noël, a teacher's file of games and activities based on a Christmas theme. These four titles together make up our Discount Pack 3.
