European Day of languages

Today we celebrate European Day of Languages. Can you help with some examples of games or activities that I could do with my pupils ( 10 - 14 years old)? Thank you very much! Have a beautiful week! |

Hi! We had something similar last year. Each grade prepared a report about an european country- the usual stuff, but it was nice that they all started their talks with singing Frere Jacques, Bratec Martin as we call it in Croatian, in a language that is spoken in a certain country. Hope this helps. Na francuskom Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques Dormez-vous, dormez-vous? ||: Sonnez les matines, :|| Ding ding dong, ding ding dong. Na engleskom Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping? Brother John, Brother John! ||: Morningbells are ringing :|| Ding, ding, dong. Ding, ding, dong. Na njemačkom Bruder Jakob, Bruder Jakob, Schläfst du noch? Schläfst du noch? ||: Hörst du nicht die Glocken? :|| Ding dang dong, ding dang dong. Na talijanskom Fra Martino, campanaro, Dormi tu? Dormi tu? ||: Suona le campane :|| Din, don, dan, din, don, dan. |

Thanks, anamia. But you didn �t include the Croatian lyrics for us. I think it �s fun seeing the Croatian words for French, English, German and Italian. Bruce |

In Czech: Brat�e Kubo, brat�e Kubo, je�t� spí�, je�t� spí�? Venku slunce zá�í, ty jsi na pol�tá�i, vstávej ji�, vstávej ji�. |

It might be difficult to read the correct diacritics on your computer, so once again without diacritics: In Czech: Bratre Kubo, bratre Kubo, jeste spis, jeste spis? Venku slunce zari, ty jsi na polstari, vstavej jiz, vstavej jiz. |
