1. To create an “ani-mot-
valise”, you need to choose
the name of two animals in
French. The last syllable of
the first word must be the
same as the first syllable of
the second word.
Then you put the two words
together and this gives you a
new word. This is your very
own new addition to the
French language!

3. Exemple: KOALA + ABEILLE = KOALABEILLE
KOALABEILLE

4. Exemple: CASTOR + TORTUE = CASTORTUE
CASTORTUE

5. Exemple: VACHE + CHEVAL = VACHEVAL
VACHEVAL
