Le Petit Nicolas (Little Nicolas) is France’s naughtiest schoolboy and one of the most famous characters in French children’s literature. Find his animated adventures free on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sWwADR9Hn4  or by typing “Petit Nicolas” into the search bar. The cartoons are in French and often without subtitles – but watching these is an excellent way to develop students’ focus and to help them interpret situations through context, rather than simply by understanding the words. Students often ask to see the further adventures of naughty Nicolas in class, and enjoy spotting the differences between his life in France and their own lives in Scotland.
