Sébastien, our mascot monkey, often likes to play the game cache-cache with the Petits Poussins as we practice our counting and verbs. Chercher [shershay] is the verb ‘to look for’ in French and Trouver [troovay] is the verb ‘to find’. We often ask the children ‘on va chercher Sébastien?’ [ohn va shershay Sébastien]- are we going to go and look for Sébastien?
When we find him we shout coucou [coo-coo] – hiya/peek-a-boo
We just love the verb cacher [cashay]. Say it to you child and see what they do!
We use it often in the sessions with its variants…
Cache les yeux [cash layz yeuh] – hide your eyes
Cache, cache, cache [cash cash cash] hide, hide hide
