Karaoke to teach your kids French

One thing I have learned since being a Home School mom is that kids need a change of pace. You can't teach everything in the same format, especially language. I try to think out of the box and help them have fun when learning French.

There are some videos on You Tube that people have put together which have the French versions of Disney songs and the words on them. I like to watch them with my kids so they can practice their pronunciation and vocabulary.

These are all songs that I'm sure lots of kids and parents already know in English, so it's fun to sing them in French since you know the melody.
