European Day of Languages
|
|
Hello everybody, I would like to prepare some activities for my students for European Day of Languages. I want them to learn a few basic phrases from a few languages and one song. As all of you here come from different countries, could I ask you to help me with that? I would appreciate any language. Thanks a lot. Zuzana

Well, what about gathering a greeting phrase and a nursery rhyme from different countries?
It is a project I held some years back for European Day of Languages.
In Maltese:
greeting phrase: Good morning: il-ghodwa t-tajba
nursery rhyme: Iż-Żunżana ddur iddur Fuq il-bejt tal-kaċċatur,
Meta tasal taħt il-mina
tagħmel...
Żinn, Żann, Żunn
U titfgħalek il-ballun!Iz-zunzana ddur iddur
| This game can be played with any number of children. The more, the merrier! The children must sit on the floor in a big round circle facing each other, except one. This one (the bee) starts running round and round the circle while the others are singing. In his hand he must hold a soft ball, a piece of cloth, or anything that�s handy at the moment that will not hurt a child if thrown. At the end of the song the bee must drop the ball behind someone else and keep running. He who has the ball nearest to him must collect it and run after the bee. This guy is now the hunter whose purpose is to catch the bee. The bee must reach the vacant space left by the hunter before it is caught. If the bee is caught, the hunter returns to his place and the game continues. If the bee manages to sit down before it is caught, the hunter now becomes the bee and the games starts all over again.
