Le Tour de France Incursion
Best delivered during Terms Two or Three
Alison has taught both primary and secondary-level French and can design this incursion to each individual class' level and strengths.
Our incursions have the following components:
- An introductory 15 minute presentation on bike safety basics with plenty of child interaction
- Four to six rotation activities in groups. Rotation activities are tailored to the age of the class and are selected from the following:
- Le puzzle de cerveau: Jigsaw about the brain and why it is important to wear a helmet
- An exercise where students learn about three Paris landmarks to visit on a bicycle tour, and then write directions in French on how to travel between each landmark
- Decorating a bike helmet biscuit
- Finding out about the geography of France by learning about the route of the latest Tour de France.
- Making a vélo d’artisanat (craft bicycle) out of craft materials
- Learning how to repair a puncture
- ... and many more
- The students gather as a whole group for the final 10 to 15 minutes of the session time to share about what they have been learning and doing.
