How many languages do you think your pupils recognise? You both might be surprised by the answer!
European Day of Languages takes place on 26 September and is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the many languages spoken across Europe, while encouraging curiosity about the world around us. Whether you're teaching languages, geography or simply looking for an engaging tutor-time activity, our latest ready-to-use site is designed to fit into any classroom.
Pupils will put their detective skills to the test with a series of interactive challenges, including:
🔎
Recognising greetings from different
European languages
🚩
Matching languages to countries and flags
🌍
Discovering multilingual countries like
Switzerland and Belgium
🤔
Spotting tricky "false friends" – words that
look familiar but mean something completely different
😂
Exploring funny sayings and idioms from
across Europe in our Lost in Translation challenge
Along the way, students can uncover some surprising facts, such as how many countries are in Europe, why some countries have more than one official language and encouraging pupils to think about the many languages spoken across the UK and the important role they play in our schools and communities.
Whether you use it as a standalone lesson, part of your European Day of Languages celebrations or as a quick classroom activity, it's a fun way to get pupils talking, thinking and appreciating the incredible variety of languages that surround us every day.
Happy exploring… or as they say in Italy, Buona esplorazione! 😊
