Oral/Listening Activities (10 minutes)

1.     Same activity from last week, but make 10 new cards to add to your collection!  If you have a family member in your household, a parent or sibling or another relative who speaks French, then play five second rule!  You will need a timer, paper and a something to write with.  First, each person will write a category of items that could be listed.  For example, “Nommez trois types de fruits” (Name 3 types of fruit) and so on. Once all of the papers have been created, then get playing!  If the person gets it wrong then no points, if they get it right, then they get the points!  First one to who has the most points after twenty minutes, wins!

OR

2.     If you do not have a relative who speaks French, then you can still play option 2 of 5 second rule!  Prepare cards the same way, only when you (the student) responds, you will have to respond in French.  This is actually a little harder, so give yourself 10 seconds!  But the person playing in English only has 5 seconds!

Hello!

Please find below a list of activities and suggestions from our very own Mr.Stewart regarding social and emotional activities that can be done to help deal with stress and anxiety at this time.

Mindfulness Activities:

Everyday Mindfulness

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTsUEOUaWpY&feature=youtu.be

Mindfulness: Dealing with difficult Moments

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty93GRPplJo&feature=youtu.be

Be a Tree: Mindfulness Activity

This activity is a mediation to encourage you to embrace stillness and be open to what is around you.

Choose a spot outside, preferably where there are trees. Stand or sit still and relax, just like a tree.  Imagine that you have roots growing from under your feet into the earth.  Spread your fingers and notice the feel of the breeze or wind moving past your hands, just like wind passing through tree branches.  Close your eyes, if you are comfortable doing this, and experience the feeling of being still and quiet in the open.  Listen to the sounds around you for several minutes.  Then, you can tell someone about your mediation.  You can also write about it or draw a picture of it.
