How to use the resources

  • Put the poster up in the classroom and listen to one greeting together each morning – the QR code leads straight to the audio.
  • Bingo gets children talking and discovering which languages are spoken in their own class.
  • The quiz is a good way into a lesson about scripts and language families.
  • The table helps receptions at schools, surgeries or clubs welcome new families in their language.
  • The language portrait works especially well in the first days of a new class: every child shows which languages they bring.
  • The survey links the Day of Languages with maths – tally chart, totals and bar chart.
  • With the certificate, every child takes home a reminder of the day.
