I am a HUGE fan of teaching all about Francophone cultures in the French classroom. One of the best ways that I love to do this is to combine Francophone cultural knowledge, fun French games, and French reading comprehension. French trivia games do just that. French trivia games are a fun & engaging way to learn about Francophone cultures in the French classroom.
