Games for Teaching Primary French has been a lifesaver. I volunteer as a parental helper in my children's primary school and, as a competent French speaker, have somehow ended up planning, resourcing and running the weekly French provision for my daughter's Y4 class. As I am not formally trained, and am lacking in teaching experience, a delve into this book has immediately given me the confidence I need to run fun and engaging activities for the class. Even a last-minute flick through its pages before a class will deliver a range of fun and feasible ideas - with many requiring absolutely no budget whatsoever. Its clear format, and step-by-step instructions take the stress out of lesson planning, and the -˜useful phrases' section for each activity bolster my confidence, even as a French speaker.
I feel so fortunate to have discovered this book - I'd recommend it to anyone who finds themselves teaching French to primary-age children, whatever their own language ability.
