After watching this movie with the students ask the class to explain what they saw.  Why is it that parents cannot always be there to play with us?  How do we feel when they are always busy like the father in the film?  Ask the students to think of a moment they spent with their parents that made them feel special, and to make a drawing and a short text about this. For English Second Language or French Second Language, ask students to sequence the story, to name vocabulary, and to make a drawing based on what they saw.
