Songs are a great way for your children to learn a language. Our curriculum is developped in a clever way that ensures language is learned in a fun manner with lots of clever repetition, solely delivered in the target language.

This is a great app of traditional French ‘comptines’ - nursery songs, some with a twist on the French version. Your children should be familiar with some them from our sessions too! The wonderful thing, apart from the clear French, is that the words are displayed in karaoke style and the child can play a game to the rythmn of the music, a bit like a dance mat with their fingers!

The always win a ‘trophée’ regardless if they score any points or not! We just love the vibrant graphics and catchy song style.

A little while ago I reviewed the brilliant T’choupi App for learning colours. T’choupi is a big part of French children’s lives, please share and watch this with your Petits Poussins. This is a great compilation for you! As you know the more exposure your children get to the language the better! Don’t worry if you don’t understand, they will follow it, their brains are far cleverer than ours….

App Review – Joue et apprends les couleurs avec T’choupi

T’Choupi and Doudou (his bear comforter) is a famous character for children in France. Check out our review of his app to learn COLOURS. We have been using this app in our sessions for the last couple of weeks. As with every resource we use, it is solely in French. At Petits Poussins we use complete language immersion when we teach. The great thing about this app is it reinforces colours and other vocabulary the children may have heard in the sessions. It provides lots of fun and the Petits Poussins are keen to click on the different colours and explore the different menus. There are interactive tactile games for each colour, colouring in to improve their fine motor skills and a section for reinforcing the colours as the choose a colour…this is the only part where English is used as that particular part of the app is also for French children to learn English. The children can play a quiz and choose the colour T’Choupi announces or change the colours to play musical notes.
