Objective:

• Students will learn the months of the year.janvier, février, mars, avril, mai, juin, juillet, août, septembre, octobre, novembre, décembre
• Students will learn how to discuss their and their classmates’ birthdays. Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire?  Mon anniversaire est le (number) (month).

Resources:

Videos

• Months of the Year
• Days of the Week and Months
• Happy Birthday / Bonne Fête
• Happy Birthday song in many languages

During these lessons we watched videos, sang songs, completed worksheets and played games.

I like to play active simple games such as students walking around asking each other “Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire?” and answering “Mon anniversaire est le (number) (month).”

At the end of the lesson, I love to share my dip pens with the students.  They get to explore a different writing tool as they write:

• Je m’appelle _____.
• J’ai (number) ans.
• Mon anniversaire est le (number) (month).
• Bonne fête!
• Joyeux anniversaire!
