Classroom Activities

Classroom Calendar

The student-made calendar is a simple way to encourage use of the target language (in this case Italian) on a daily basis. The fact that it has been made by the students, gives it more meaning for their learning.

Positive Words Wall

Encourage positivity in your classroom by creating a beautiful, bright display like this one! Students are encouraged to use these new words when speaking and writing about themselves and others. It’s a happy addition to any classroom wall and of course, this can be done in any language and with/by your students!
