In 2015, I based my activities for EDoL around a lot of the free resources you can get which are published by the European Commission.
Please note that even though the UK is not part of the EU anymore, you can still download updated resources.
For instance, you can download the great “United in diversity” booklet by clicking here.
You can then still use my ideas below – but will need to pre-select your own page numbers as they are different in the online version from the paper version, sorry!
If you own class sets of the booklets below please check out our related resources here ! If you haven’t… there are still ideas which may be useful to you!
Here is how I organised the day: details of the activities in the day and EDL timetable
Here are the quizzes based on the “Unity in diversity” booklet: United in diversity KS1 quiz United in diversity KS2 quiz
Here is the presentation I did in assembly: EDL Presentation KS2
The yearly European Day of Languages ALLNE competition is here and can still be used as an activity: Competition European_Day_of_Languages_2015_(1)
