 Disneyland Paris - Pupil Study Packs produced by Disneyland Paris encourage listening, speaking, reading and writing of French. The activities focus the pupils on specific topics within the Theme Park and ensure that pupils keep a record of the visit for use in the classroom. The Field Activity Sheets are varied in approach and style and the school can make as many photocopies as are required. Activity Sheets and copies of Teacher's Notes will be sent upon booking. The design of the pack allows for flexibility of use depending on the level of study, pupil ability and time available.
There are pre-tour class activities relating to the French economy, culture and tourism and cross-curricular links with geography are possible with activities such as why France and particularly the Marne-la-Vallee region was chosen for the Disney Resort in Europe.
Once in DisneylandŽ Paris the activity sheets encourage pupils to match attractions to particular themed "lands", read signs, talk in French to Disney characters and speak French in the resort to ask for directions, order meals buy souvenirs and make observations about their visit.
