1st week of July: 2 options

• « Le petit théâtre de l’Alliance » 6-8 years old (theatre workshop) - 9am to 4.30pm (meal provided by parents)

Thanks to the performance and staging of a play and assisted by a professional from the world of theatre Pascal MILLARD, children will learn to express themselves better and to be more comfortable speaking.

They will also learn to identify the different professions and roles involved in the staging of a play: actor, set designer, director, blower, etc. By reading and following instructions they will also make the costumes and sets for their play.
To gain self-confidence, to discover that we all have a role to play in a group project is what children will also learn.

Through all this, children will be able to improve their French and will take another step forward in French culture.

• « La BD au bout des doigts » 9-12 years old (comics internship) - 9am to 4:30pm (meal provided by parents)

Reading a comic book yes, but why not create one? That's what the children will do during this one-week internship. With the help of a qualified draftsman - Nicolas JOURNAUD - the children will learn to create a comic book down to the last detail.

Imagination of the scenario, creation and drawing of the characters, writing the texts in the bubbles, colouring, inking and finally exhibition in front of an audience.

So many activities and workshops that will allow children to perfect their French and discover the culture of French and international comics.

2nd week of July: 2 options

• « L’île des mots » 6-8 years old (theatre workshop) - 9am to 4.30pm (meal provided by parents)

Where do the words come from? How are they made? What are accents and punctuation for? Can a word get sick? The French academician Erik Orsenna has found answers and explains everything in his novels about the Isle of Words.

Guided by Jeanne's daily letters, the children will discover this island and its inhabitants: the letters and words of French. The children will help Jeanne to heal words by correcting their spelling, to find the accents that have disappeared, to glue letters together to make words, to marry words to make sentences, to dance with punctuation,... All these are writing, reading, listening and speaking activities that will make children future French knights.

• « Tous en scène » 9-12 years old (theatre) - 9am to 4:30pm (meal provided by parents)

As they move across the curtain, children will discover how a play is created: from the imagination of the story, through the writing of dialogue, to performance on stage and in front of an audience. The discovery of this universe will be guided by a theatre professional - Pascal MILLARD - who will reveal the secrets of the stage to them.

Between director, set designer, actor, blower, extra,... each child will find his role and his place in the project.

A play is not only about acting, you have to write and talk. The children will practice and perfect their French throughout the week.

In addition to developing their skills in the language of Molière, the children will be able to discover the culture of French theatre.

non-French speakers:

The activities will take place at the premises of the Alliance française de la Haye from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm during the week of July 15.

• "Les 5 sens" (early French) 4-5 years old - 13h30 to 16h30

Learning a foreign language in the early years is an excellent way to give your child the best chances for his or her future education. Throughout the discovery of the 5 senses (hearing, sight, smell, touch and taste), your child will learn a new language and a new culture. Learning to express yourself in another language will give him or her the greatest choice to express himself or herself. Action learning is the main guideline of the summer school dedicated to early learners of the French language.

• "The Alliance française de La Haye makes its circus" (circus) 6-8 years old - 13h30 to 16h30

Join us on the circus ring of the Alliance Française! Your child will discover the noble art of the circus by trying out the different disciplines himself. Learning vocabulary and speaking skills in a foreign language will help your child develop strong language skills. Circus art will help your child learn a foreign language without even noticing that he or she is learning a foreign language: acting, music, playing, playing, playing and building will be the key words of this summer school. You can watch it improve at the end of the week: all the children can attend a circus show especially for you.

• "3, 2, 1 music" (music) 9-12 years old - 13h30 to 16h30

Does your child like music? Why not give him the opportunity to express himself in French? Through various activities such as: listening to music from all over the world, playing instruments, playing music with your body, learning the specific vocabulary of the musical world, your child will be able to present to you, at the end of the week, his work on his favourite singer/instrumentalist/musical type. Knowing music is not necessary because this summer course is based on sharing, learning and discovering a new language.
