Play in French
Play touring from Jan - July 2026
Jack won first prize.
​
His prize is a trip on a Space rocket, a French space rocket.
He is so excited to be going into space!
​
Jack will be on the space craft with another person who also won – she is French and speaks little English. All the instruments on the spaceship are in French and mission control only communicates in French – but that is okay because Jack knows some French words.
​
Soon after take-off there is a malfunction and they are sent 65000000 miles out into space!
