More personalized activities are possible. You can also organize your own activities in this space that we put at your disposal. Do not hesitate to contact our media library mediatheque@if-qatar.com for any information.

The « book hunt » : Students in groups of two or three look for a book which has a particular animal as its character, a title or a cover which evokes a theme, a feeling… This animation can be an opportunity to highlight the different illustration techniques . It can lead to the choice of one of the books found by the students and a reading aloud. 

What does this book say? : From an album, we will have the students guess the story using clues, such as the front cover, the illustrations one by one without the text, the front cover and the beginning of the story. Then at the end, read the book so students know the “real” story. 

Story time  : After a time of collective discovery of books, you can offer to read albums aloud. Seat the children comfortably so that everyone can make the most of the entertainment on offer. Make sure to present several books so that each child can explore the world that suits them best. The books must be age-appropriate, the illustrations must be visible from a distance (large format books). 

The French Briefcase

A real briefcase filled with books in French can be borrowed by your establishment during the school year. It may contain educational works, books, magazines, children's DVDs, board games, etc.
