Hungry in a Foreign Land:
Making Sense of Sounds and Shapes
Can a bunny learn to count? He was a long way from home…and he was very hungry!

Beginning with a bilingual, theatre-style presentation of Bun E. Learns to Count in French, children will explore the relationships between
- sounds
- shapes
- color
- concepts
- and how they combine to convey meaning.

Together, we will talk about word choices, color associations, music, rhythm, illustrations, similarities between the two languages, and other tools used as mnemonic devices.
But it doesn’t end there!
In this hand-on, extremely interactive session, children will speak, sing, and interact with Bun E. Boniface® en français !
