French speakers - what does my AP mean by 'animate' the children??

[chicaguapa]

I understand what she means but I can't put it into English. I'm helping her with her CV.

Thanks.

Stimulate?

organise fun activities?

entertain

sorry - meant to include a ? - wasn't being dictatorial in my response!!

Thanks. All very useful. :-)

yes entertain, e.g. campsite entertainment is 'animation' organised by 'animateurs'

Unless of course she is really really good and is going to turn them into a cartoon???!!!!
