Description

Answer “Why learn French?” with a self-grading digital escape game that introduces beginning students to French culture, the Francophone world, cognates, and the global value of French. No prior French is required, making it a strong first-day or program-recruitment activity.

The game can be used as an introduction to the French language and culture - it's meant for students who haven't ever studied any French, but they will be surprised at how much they already know!

The Why Learn French activities include:

Reading - read seven short passages in French about people and cultural icons of the French-speaking world, then match the descriptions with the person. Even if they've never studied French, the cognates and simple sentences are easy enough that they can understand them.
Le monde Francophone - find 10 of the French-speaking countries in the word search. Hints pop up if they get stuck.
International organizations - do you know the name of the organization? Based on a description of their purpose, students type the name of the group.
French by the numbers - watch the video about French around the world, then match the statements
French in English - Many terms have come into English from French - do you know them? If they get stuck, there is a link to a page that will help them find the phrase

The lesson is in genial.ly and does not require students to log in or have an account - just share the link and start! The activity is self-grading and students will move along as they get the answers correct. When students complete the lesson, they will be given a congratulations page to prove that they have done the work - you can have them take a screenshot of the page, or show it to you when they have finished.

Teacher reviews

“I have used this for students to work independently while I work with intervention students as well as on a day that I was gone. Students were able to complete the task independently or with a partner. I teach exploratory French so this was a great supplementary resource.”
