Learning without noticing
Children forget a list of words. They don’t forget the words they used to make something.

01The idea
Halloween, Christmas, Be a Journalist: every school holiday I run a themed activity where children pick up English and the vocabulary that goes with the theme, while having a good time. They go home with something they made, and with words they won’t forget.
