Combine French and Physical Education

“A healthy mind in a healthy body” the ancient Greeks used to say. This week the teacher of French Language presented and taught the traditional French game of Petanque (Boules, Bocce) combining language learning with the practice of a sport activity.  Boules games have a very long history, dating back through the Middle Ages to ancient Rome, and before that to ancient Greece and Egypt. Using the CLIL method (Content and Language Integrated Learning) the teacher taught in French the students of the 6^th grade how to play this game. This experience was entertaining and we will do it again for sure!
