Drama and movement provide the ideal way to teach a foreign language. By actively involving the body, learning comes more naturally and it is easier to retain what has been learned. The simple routines in this book and DVD set combine movements with repetition of important phrases, making learning languages easy and enjoyable. You will love the activities in Jouez, Dansez et Apprenez le Français.
