Teacher tip
Each time a child finds a word, the class touches that body part.
How to use it
- Play Jacques a dit before and after the sheet.
- Make a face for each feeling and let kids name it in French.
- Say every French word out loud and have kids echo it before they read or write it.
Watch for
Saying “les œils”. The plural of l’œil is les yeux.
Talk about it
- Why is it une bouche but un nez?
- Does this word look like an English word you know?
