Going on Vacation

This set is a 1-week bilingual French & English printable program that helps children learn travel vocabulary through familiar vacation experiences.

Across three familiar scenes—packing a suitcase, traveling, and driving—children discover nine carefully chosen words through coloring pages, short bilingual sentences, games, vocabulary cards, and imaginative play.

This isn’t an ordinary workbook. Instead of learning isolated vocabulary lists, children encounter words naturally in meaningful situations and revisit them through games, review activities, and free play, helping new language stick without feeling like a lesson.

Why does this approach work?

Rather than teaching categories such as “travel vocabulary” or “transportation” directly, this program introduces words naturally through Naya’s vacation adventure.

For example, a child may first encounter a suitcase while packing, then a plane while traveling, and finally a car while driving, among other words. Instead of memorizing vocabulary by category, children experience words as part of a familiar vacation journey they can easily understand and relate to.

Each of the three scenes includes a coloring page with short bilingual sentences, vocabulary cards to cut out and play with, and simple games using the new words.

Throughout the week, the same carefully chosen vocabulary appears again and again in coloring pages, vocabulary cards, games, review activities, free play, and The Week’s Big Game.

Combined with repeated exposure and playful activities, this helps vocabulary stick in a way that feels enjoyable and effortless.

Why is this vocabulary set special?

✓ Low prep: simply print, cut the cards, and start playing.

✓ Flexible: complete one activity a day or choose any page, game, or vocabulary cards whenever you like.

✓ Built around familiar vacation experiences that children can easily connect to their own lives.

✓ Vocabulary learned in context: children discover new words through meaningful situations instead of memorizing lists.

✓ Built-in repetition: the same nine words reappear throughout the week across different activities, with review games and free play to reinforce learning.

✓ Four vocabulary card types: each word is included as a bilingual image-and-word card, a French word card, an English word card, and an image-only card.

✓ Playful: coloring pages, games, creativity, and imaginative play make learning feel natural and enjoyable.

✓ Quick and manageable: play for five minutes or spend an entire afternoon exploring the activities.

✓ Beautiful, cozy illustrations that children genuinely enjoy spending time with.

✓ Bilingual French & English format that works for parents, teachers, and bilingual families, even if they are not native speakers of both languages.

The result is a complete vocabulary experience that combines repetition, playful situations, and real-life connections.
