School Contests
Kicking off this back to school season; la rentrée, take advantage of a series of contests inviting students and French learners to immerse themselves in a vibrant learning journey that delves deeper into the realm of Olympism. Alongside our valued partners, we have organized three contest, each complemented by enriching pedagogical resources. Explore below how your school and students can actively participate.
A la une : Sports Headline Contest
Participants are encouraged to choose a sports photograph and create an engaging title that reflects the unique style of L’Equipe, the esteemed French sports newspaper. To support and inspire participants, we invite all educators to utilize the accompanying workbook, which offers front-page templates from well-known sports publications like CLEMI and CNOSF.
This contest provides an opportunity for creative expression and the exploration of sports journalism. Upon completing the following form HERE, beginning September 8th, in celebration of the 2023 Rugby World Cup opening ceremony, teachers will receive, via email, access to the workbook. Find a preview of the workbook HERE.
All submission must be made to email address: jeuxconcours@frenchculture.org
Logo Drawing Contest
Starting November, in collaboration with Learning Vibes we will invite all bilingual and French learners across the United States (elementary, middle and high school) to partake in a logo drawing contest. In light of the Paris Olympic Games the participants will be invited to propose an original logo for the Olympic or Paralympic discipline of their choice! Coming soon, stay tuned!
