"I knew if two grown women had a ball with this game, then the kids would love it too.
I was right, the kids had a ball. Before they were allowed to toss the food they had to say what the food was in Spanish. As on student tossed the food, the others would memorize what it was. If they did not know the food they had to forfeit their turn. In later rounds they had to name a dish that contained the food."

Franco-African Identity: Expanding Your Instructional Repertoire

"If you're anything like me, most of my French language learning was centered around the Hexagone. It wasn’t until I began my graduate studies that I finally stepped outside of Europe, getting a taste for North Africa and the Mediterranean. This is to say that before that time, my French language learning left a sizable gap in my understanding of West and Central Francophone identities.

I don't think this is uncommon, nor do I feel I need to go into too much detail about why colonial countries like France have more cultural capital in our language learning. You’re here. You’re reading this. You get it."
