Humor & Fun


Want to make language more fun?

Raising children bilingually should be fulfilling and fun! Too often we burden ourselves by assuming we must follow a bunch of rules perfectly. Make sure to stop and have fun and laughter with your children while still engaging them in second language activities and humor!

Bilingual Fun With Kids

Children are interested in a variety of things so try to find out what each of your children likes the most. You can tailor your activities and fun to each child or at least make sure to change your activities regularly so that all children will have fun with language!

Your children will respond best if you have fun with language and culture when they don't realize they are learning anything! Try playing a game of "I Spy" in your language or bake some traditional cookies from your culture!
