Some students in a French class with Martine have written poems in the shape of a kite.

Martine, French teacher at Alliance Française de Bristol, worked on holiday vocabulary. Her students chose  one word from the vocabulary, they then had to think of adjectives and verbs related to the chosen word, associating ideas they ended up with a different topic from the one they had started with:

Jeux de mots:

La glace

sucrée, froide

lécher, savourer, refléter

verre, cornet, enfant, boule

jouer, lancer, gagner

sablonneuse, brillante

pétanque

Les plaisirs de la nature:

Le jardin

fleuri, éblouissant

semer, soigner, cueillir

clôture, pelouse, arbuste, rosier

cultiver, tailler, sentir

ouvert, sauvage

le pré

Trouvez le sous-texte:

Maillot de bain

joli, rayé

se baigner, se détendre, se bronzer

short, bikini, serviette, piscine

nager, se noyer, plonger

molletonneuse, colorée

combinaison de ski

So Martine's students started with images of Summer and finished, thinking of the skiing season, fast approaching!

If you're thinking of going skiing in France, you  may want to improve your French, why not join a French group or try some French private tuition. For more info...
