This French video introduces teachers to adapting greetings according to the time of day, moving from bonjour to bonsoir and bonne nuit. Using picture prompts, actions, and tone of voice, it encourages children to be language detectives, noticing patterns in words and sounds while linking greetings to context.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s French scheme – vocabulary. It demonstrates how to integrate early reading through the simple bedtime story Bonne nuit. It models ways to engage children with authentic French texts, spot cognates, and create a class version of the book, supporting speaking, reading, and writing from the earliest stages of learning.
