1 A "poisson d'avril" is a joke made on April 1st. In France, children try to stick a fish picture on their friends' back. When the joke is discovered, they shout "poisson d'avril !"

2 Here is a funny “poisson d’avril” video of a fish pranking a cat ! And it comes with English subtitles :-) Note the song at the end which is a very famous children song. Une plaisanterie! Les petits poissons dans l’eau nagent, nagent, nagent, nagent, nagent Les petits poissons dans l’eau nagent aussi bien que les gros

3 Can you spot any familiar words? Let’s revise colours!

4 Make your own “Poisson d’avril” – the more colourful, the better!!! Can you label all the colours you’ve used in French?

5 All children stand up (in a circle preferrably) and can say a maximum of three months in sequence in French. e.g. mai, juin, juillet. The next person would continue with a maximum of three months which follow on. The person who has to say ‘avril’ has to sit down and the game starts again from ‘mai'. Let’s revise months of the year! janvier février mars avril mai juin juillet août septembre octobre novembre décembre
