Schedule

Workshop 1
– 10:30 am to 11:15 am: Mommy & Me (1 to 2 years old)
Led by Patricia, this French language immersion class will introduce your toddler to new sounds and to Francophone culture through a mix of fun activities, games, songs, rhymes, storytelling and dance. One caregiver must accompany each child during classes. Space limited to 8 children. Reserve your spot early.

Workshop 2 – 11:30 am to 12:15 pm: Mini-group “French Painters” (3 to 6 years old)
We invite your children to discover French painters! The Alliance Française will become the studio for the next little Mondrian, Braque, or Picasso - all in French. Space limited to 12 children. Reserve your spot early.

Parent Workshop, 11:45 am to 12:15 pm: Raising your children bilingual
While your child is at play, join School Coordinator Sophie Ripoll, M.A in Bilingual education, for a casual workshop highlighting and discussing the essential points of bilingualism and bilingual education.


12:15 pm to 1:30 pm: Break, crepes served, tattoos and a musical performance by Nathalie Broizat & Jason Jenn
French performance artist and actress Nathalie Broizat will perform a short theatrical piece with her acolyte Jason Jenn. Based on classic selections from the French song book, this show – a mixture of mime, dance and theater - will shed an original light on traditional scenes of daily life in France with humor and irony. A delight for children and adults alike.
Also during the break: Hand Crafted French Crepes by Acadie and sparkle and glitter tattoos (non-toxic, easy to apply and remove).

Workshop 3 – 1:30 pm to 2:15 pm: Mini-group “Carnival” (3-6 years old)

Let’s celebrate “Fat Tuesday”! This workshop will focus on the “Carnival” theme. We will create a variety of masks and it will be up to your child to decide which one he will wear that day! All in French. While the children will be busy with Patricia, Pascal Dubois* will introduce the parents to a collection of French tales on audio CDs.
Space limited to 12 children. Reserve your spot early


*Specializing in the production of French-language storytelling CDs since 2003, Oui’Dire publishing has succeeded in bringing together a pool of talented artists.
