| Title | French Songs for Days of the Week |
| Body | The following suggestions were recently posted to the FLTEACH listserv in response to a request for a French rap for teaching the days of the week. ---- "Poutine... Fries with an Attitude" (CD) has a good one -- it's not rap but it's really cute and catchy. Lescourret, D. Re: French rap song for days of the week. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (2 Nov. 2005). ---- Etienne has a version that uses the Flintstone's theme. My elementary French students enjoy it. The chorus is simple enough for lower elementary students. The verses are a little more of a challenge, but fun for middle to upper elementary students. I got the CDs through Educorock. Their web address is: http://www.educorock.com/ . "Les 7 Jours de la Semaine" is on the CD "Chez Moi." Hecker, R. Re: French rap song for days of the week. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (2 Nov. 2005). ---- It's not a rap song, but my elementary students like the traditional French children's song "Lundi matin." It's available on many compilation CDs as well as on iTunes. Harington, C. Re: French rap song for days of the week. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (2 Nov. 2005). ---- High school kids like it too, especially with the gestures!! It's also on momes.net ( http://www.momes.net/comptines/illustrationscompt/lundimatin.html ). Blaz, D. Re: French rap song for days of the week. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (2 Nov. 2005). ---- This isn't rap, but I use it with 6th graders and they like it because they don't have to learn a new melody, just the lyrics (vocab). I write a lot of songs, but this is one I obviously didn't write. To the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" lundi, mardi, mercredi, mercredi, mercredi jeudi et vendredi, samedi et dimanche Pabst, R.
