EDL Assembly _ European Day of Languages

This assembly is all set up for European Day of Languages on 26 September. No extra prep needed, just open it and go.

It kicks off with why languages matter: tolerance, respect, sharper brains, and future job opportunities.

Then it takes students on a quick tour of Europe’s languages with fun facts (like the longest German word or why Danish numbers drive people mad).

Built-in quizzes keep it interactive so students aren’t just listening, they’re joining in.

There are ready-made follow-up ideas too: poster competitions, poetry, lunchtime quizzes.

There are links to some fun videos too (if you have time to show them)

It’s lively, simple to run, and guaranteed to get students laughing, thinking, and appreciating other cultures. Exactly the kind of stress-free assembly we all need.
