This is a 'crash course&' on French culture that I made prior to the Linguatrivia National French competition. This can be a lesson about French culture that you can use with PowerPoint presentations of French personalities.
This is a summary in English about the educational system in France from Reception to University. There is a worksheet that can be set as prep or as a test to go with it.

Introduction of the song Un monde parfait by Ilona Mitrecey. This song is the best selling song of the Millennium in France : 1.5 million copies sold in 2005! This is a gap filling exercise with the lyrics, then you can watch the cartoonish music video on Youtube. Following this activity, students can draw their own version of 'Monde Parfait&' and label items in French. I myself do this as a three-week project with a Year 3 class.

This is about a French TV Reality show called Secret Story on TF1. It is like Big Brother but on top of this, candidates have a secret and have to guess each other's secrets. First, there is a presentation of the candidates to talk about hair, eyes, clothes and personality. Then you can talk about the secrets, show the video and they have to guess each candidate' secret by their presentation on the video. Enjoy!
