Middle school is a crucial time for language development, and what better way to enhance students' French speaking skills than through engaging activities?

How many times have you heard your students say: “Why do we even need to learn French?”. As annoying as it can be it is also a valid question that we need to help them answer. Why do they need to learn French? In a world where English is predominant in many areas, one can wonder what the benefits of learning French would be.

Sometimes I have no motivation to teach. It doesn’t make me a bad or incompetent teacher, it is just the proof that I’m human. So I ditch the guilt! Most of the time when I get to this point it is because I’m bored, and if I’m bored, chances are that my students are bored as well.

So what do I do when I need a little fun in my French class? I share ideas in this post.
