Resources for Young French Learners Part II
After publishing my last post on this subject, I realized I had left out a number of great resources so I have made a part two. I want to remind you that many of the resources in my literacy project post I did back in May are great for young learners (after all it was about encouraging student literacy in French!). Again, I encourage you to leave me some findings of your own so I can make a part three to this series! Most of these resources are games and activities.
- Lez quizz du WebPédagogique - A great resource for older kids. These quizzes are intended for students in French schools, and they run the gamut of academic topics from the French language to mathematics to history.
- Monument jeu d'enfant - A fun and colorful interactive game created by the French National Monument website. Discover monuments throughout the centuries, play different games at each area, and learn fun facts.
- Copains de banlieue - An interactive story that tells the history of Paris in the early 1900s.
- Fondation Arp Game - A flash game introducing students to artist and sculptor Jean Arp
- Lettris - A highly addictive game of Tetris in which the play clears blocks by spelling out French words. The game can also be played in English or Portuguese.
- Questions pour un champion - Simulation of a French game show where the player must answer a series of very difficult questions in French.
- Didier BRAVO - A series of great French flash games!
- TFO Machine à jeux - A plethora of educational games made by this French-speaking Ontario TV station
- Languages Online French Games & Activities - A great selection of pre-made games and activities from a site that offers free software to create your own

- Zouzous - France5's section on kid's shows, with games, activities, and videos for each one.
- Tintin.com - France5's site all about Tintin, the legendary bande dessinée!
- Gulli - A great site for kids based from the TV station of the same name

Thank you for compiling these! My daughter wants to learn french as part of her interest in her heritage. My family is from Quebec, but I was never taught to speak french -being born in the USA. Now we are trying to learn together. I can't wait to share these with her.
