Bishopbriggs Academy

Bishopbriggs Academy hosted an event with S1 pupils in the assembly hall to promote the European Day of Languages.



Our activities were:
  • A sorting game where pupils worked in teams to sort 27 languages into 24 official European languages and 3 non European languages.
  • A quiz where pupils had to identify which percentage was the answer to each question. The questions were:
    • What percentage of the world’s population speaks English?
    • Which percentage is the number of European Union Citizens that can take part in a conversation in a language other than their own?
    • What percentage of people in the Netherlands, Denmark or Sweden can hold a conversation in a language other than their own?
    • What percentage of people in the UK, Ireland or Portugal can hold a conversation in a language other than their own?


  • Tongue twisters - pupils tried to pronounce tongue twisters in English, French and Spanish through the microphone.
  • A music quiz where pupils listened to tracks and had to identify which language was being sung.
  • A selfie booth allowing pupils to dress themselves in stereotypical European clothing.
