Coming up on May 27 and 28 we will be holding our annual school games, with five teams of students representing various French-speaking countries: France, Monaco, Switzerland, Belgium, and Canada. We will be learning about each country, finding them on the map, playing games, and even trying some of their traditional foods from each country for goûter — waffles from Belgium, maple syrup from Canada, baguettes from France, jam from Monaco, and chocolate from Switzerland! We love teaching our students about different countries, and Les Francofolies gives children a way to experience parts of each of these distinct cultures.

À bientôt!
