I am a Bates College alum and now a French teacher at Marblehead Veterans Middle School in Massachusetts. This past summer, I was on the Boston Bruins I.C.E. School committee and developed hockey-related lesson plans for French. The hockey-French relationship is a strong one since so many NHL players are francophone, including the Bruins' Patrice Bergeron, Benoit Pouliot, Daniel Paille, Jordan Caron and coach Claude Julien.
Lesson plans are available on the Bruins' website at: http://bruins.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=41489
They are free and it only takes a few seconds to sign up. They are suitable for any grade level, but are geared toward beginners (French 1).
Hockey is a great way to get kids excited about French! It has really helped me grow my program. Sign up and help keep French alive in New England!
