Symphony of the Five Senses

Symphony of the Five Senses

This week, campers will explore their surroundings by using their senses in a fun and interactive way — while learning a new language!  By the end of the week, children will be more aware of their sight, hearing, and sense of smell, taste, and touch, and learn how to describe the world around them in a foreign language!

Optical Illusions – While learning new words in another language, children will tease their visual systems by looking at images that may be ‘more than meets the eye!’, and they will punt into practice what they are learning by describing what they see.  

Animal Instincts – Did you know flies and butterflies can taste things with their feet!? Cats can also see well in the dark.  Many organisms have keener senses than humans.  Campers will learn new interesting facts about animals’ senses while learning a new language.   

Linguist Apprentices (Ages 3-5) – Through music and play, campers will develop their conversational skills in a second language. Children will engage in arts and crafts and hands-on projects while learning another language.

Language Ambassadors (Ages 6-10) – Campers will participate in project-based learning activities that will help them connect the foreign language they are learning to meaning, providing them the opportunity to develop their conversational skills while learning about fun and interesting topics.
