French Fun for Small Fries: Family Saturdays at the French Institute Alliance Française
Submitted by Petek on
Being the melting pot that it is, New York City offers many ways for kids to learn other languages. From foreign language playgroups to more formal instruction, exposing your children to different cultures is as easy as un, deux, trois. I did just that with my preschooler last month when we attended the French Institute Alliance Française's first-ever Family Saturdays. A rich and entertaining French cultural experience, FIAF's afternoon of language-immersion programming includes arts and crafts, storytime, live performances and film. Don't worry if your petit enfant can't speak a word of français; knowledge of French isn't required. It's like getting your France fix without having to spend your life savings on a trip abroad.
FIAF's Family Saturdays take place six times a year, and the next one is this Saturday, December 3. We've got the scoop on all of the French-flavored family fun at this weekend's edition.
