Let's Take a Walk/ On se promène?
It's going to be a rainy week where I am, so I went outside to take a long walk this morning. Imagine you came with me :) Are you walking beside me on your bike, on your scooter, or on a skateboard? What sounds do we hear? What might the birds be saying to each other? How does the air feel? Is it cool, hot, or humid? What do the trees and grass smell like? Where will the walk end? At the bakery, the library, or at a playground? Imagine... Il va pleuvoir beaucoup cette semaine

Hide-N-Seek/ Cache-cache
I've always thought it would be amazing to play hide-n-seek at Chambord castle in France... especially with the staircase designed by Leonardo Da Vinci!
