Description

Note: If you purchased this game in the past, please be sure to update a new copy as the date for one of the clues has changed!


French digital escape games can be a fun way to practice the language and learn about the history and culture of the French-speaking world.  Learn about the holiday of l'Armistice/Le Jour du Souvenir in this digital game for French learners.

November 11 marks the anniversary of the Armistice ending the fighting in World War 1 and is known as Le Jour du Souvenir. This digital escape game teaches students about the events of that day as well as how we remember those who sacrificed so much. Topics include:

  • poppies
  • les bleuets de France
  • the signing of the armistice
  • the last French soldier to die in WWI
  • the fields of Verdun

What's included:


The game includes two different version: one that is entirely in English, and one that has the clues in English (since it can be difficult for non-native speakers to catch the nuances in the clues) but the sites and videos where they will find the answers are in French. Students will know that they have the correct code to unlock each lock as the form will tell them if they are correct or incorrect.  They can show you that they've solved the puzzles by taking a screenshot of the final screen.

The teacher guide includes instructions on how to reach the site, directions on how to play the game, and the answer key for the French and English games just in case you get stuck. There are two different websites where the game is hosted - one in Google sites, the other hosted on digitalescapegames.com.  Please check on your school network before you assign the game to your students, as some networks do block access to sites hosted outside of your district's network.

“Contient beaucoup de liens et beaucoup d'information...”

“This should have been fun but my students are more apt to give up if they can't solve something right away or can't find the answer directly in a text. I think we needed more time and I should have explained better how to do the puzzles. I learned quickly and started by walking them through the clue for the date lock.”
