CASLT releases a new Célébrons la francophonie resource every March to help FSL teachers celebrate the Semaine internationale de la francophonie with their students. This year, we have eight practice Kahoot! quizzes and four live Canada-wide Kahoot! challenges.
Each Kahoot! practice quiz and live event is targeted to one of the following levels:
Complete and submit the registration form for the challenge you wish to participate in.
