Listen and Respond in French

A first, playful taste of French through listening and moving. Children hear short French words from Olly the owl and answer with their bodies: they look, listen and keep quiet (Regarde ! Écoute ! Chut !), move (Lève-toi ! Assieds-toi ! Saute ! Tourne ! Marche ! Stop !) and use their hands, feet, arms and nose (Tape des mains ! Touche ton nez !). Everything is narrated and no reading is needed.
