European Day of languages
 
Today we celebrate European Day of Languages. Can you help with some examples of games or activities that I could do with my pupils ( 10 - 14 years old)? Thank you very much! Have a beautiful week!

Hi! We had something similar last year.
Each grade prepared a report about an european country- the usual stuff, but it was nice that they all started their talks with singing Frere Jacques, Bratec Martin as we call it in Croatian, in a language that is spoken in a certain country. Hope this helps.
 

Na francuskom

Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques
Dormez-vous, dormez-vous?
||: Sonnez les matines, :||
Ding ding dong, ding ding dong.

Na engleskom

Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John!
||: Morningbells are ringing :||
Ding, ding, dong. Ding, ding, dong.

Na njemačkom

Bruder Jakob, Bruder Jakob,
Schläfst du noch? Schläfst du noch?
||: Hörst du nicht die Glocken? :||
Ding dang dong, ding dang dong.

Na talijanskom

Fra Martino, campanaro,
Dormi tu? Dormi tu?
||: Suona le campane :||
Din, don, dan, din, don, dan.

Thanks, anamia. But you didn �t include the Croatian lyrics for us. I think it �s fun seeing the Croatian words for French, English, German and Italian.

In Czech:
 
Brat�e Kubo, brat�e Kubo,
je�t� spí�, je�t� spí�?
Venku slunce zá�í,
ty jsi na pol�tá�i,
vstávej ji�, vstávej ji�.

It might be difficult to read the correct diacritics on your computer, so once again without diacritics:
 
In Czech:
Bratre Kubo, bratre Kubo,
jeste spis, jeste spis?
Venku slunce zari,
ty jsi na polstari,
vstavej jiz, vstavej jiz.
