Summer Camps - Cultural Activities Module
This module consists of daily activities which are done by the TALKKids campers on a rotation basis. These activities are intended to reinforce the language contents learnt in the first module and at the same time they teach new vocabulary and characteristics of the Hispanic/French/English speaking countries and culture. The activities are:

The campers dramatize the stories, learn where they come from and the reasons why they exist. Also, they work on craft projects from the Hispanic/French or English speaking world and learn about the art in those countries.
