How about having a “focus on” city/region of France for each meeting? You could set up a list of things (sociological categories) people have to research about these places. They would have to give an INFORMAL presentation about their segment in French. Some examples would be:

How many people live there, Age, Sex / Gender, What types of housing do people have, Socioeconomic status (SES), Income, Religion, Marital status, Ownership of home, car, pet, etc., Family size, Education, History, etc. Have them find photos and put them on slides.

This would be fun, learning oriented, AND maybe strengthen grades.

Hmm, are there any French restaurants near your school? Would a field trip to the restaurant be in order? Maybe a tour of the kitchen and the chef or assistants can explain how a restaurant is run?

Check your local public library- there may be videos or DVDs on travel in France. Also, ask the Program Director or whomever is responsible for scheduling programs. There may be some people who have traveled to France or to French Canada who may be willing to bring their slides or videos and talk about their trips.

Your club can select a charity that you can work with all year. One nice project is to adopt a family for Christmas (the Salvation Army and local churches may have this information). Your club can hold fundraisers like car washes or candy sales to fund the project.

Another project may be to “Adopt a Platoon” Send cards, letters, and gifts to troops overseas.

Is there another language club in your school? Maybe you can get together and have a “festival” near the end of the year. Food, games and prizes could be part of the festival.

Sounds like fun. I was in the Spanish Club in high school. We couldn’t do a lot, but we had fun.

Try making crepes during your lunch time and sell them to raise funds for the club. Get some literature in French, read it and discuss it. Also, you may want to look up some local French restaurants (where they also speak French) and immerse yourself in a whole new culture. Order in French, try to speak French during the entire meal. Make sure you try the escargot!
