36 facts cards focusing on facts about world languages - a great whole-group learning activity at any time of the school year, and particularly on or around the annual European Day of Languages. The activity also works well as an ice-breaker in the back-to-school phase, as it’s a very social activity, and really gets students up from their desks, walking around talking to each other. The information addresses a very wide range of languages topics, from world history, history of language, varied fields within linguistics to global languages facts for example.
The cards are designed for older students, as the facts do require a certain level of world knowledge and language awareness, and particularly world geography. I always screen a world map first, pointing out continents, countries, regions and territories and so on, because using the cards is also a great way of actually learning about the world, its history, shifting geographical and political borders, migrating populations and so on.
The cards are versatile, useful in a variety of learning contexts, such as entrance and exit cards and the***walk and talk activity***, a really popoular activity where students take a card each, walk around the classroom, exchanging facts - when they’ve shared the information on their card, students swap cards, and carry on walking - in this way, they encounter the same facts a couple of times, which really embeds knowledge.
Please note this is the European Days of Languages #1 version of our Facts about Languages #1 set: if you have already purchased that set, there is no need to purchase this one.
The Lively Learning Classroom has a wide range of resources for the European Day of Languages, including special offer bundles and freebies.
