La Coupe du Monde de Rugby à XV

Here are some links to rugby world cup related sites, pages and authentic resources in French:

• The Official site - everything you could possibly need or want to know (also available in Spanish).
• Supporter les bleus! - iphone app - keep up to date with the French team.
• BBC Ma France rugby activities and links - has some really good rugby terminology games.
• Site of the French rugby federation - lots of match information.
• A scoopit page dedicated to the tournament curated by Guillaume Marin, a French ICT teacher and rugby fan. Follow him on twitter here.
• La tribu du XV a site by Société Générale - contains information and videos of the 15 children (parrains) they have chosen to help support the French team during the competition. SG has made tv commercials throughout the summer using the children to show their support for Les Bleus.
• A nice flipchart from promethean planet.

Tools for educators

I have to thank mpc for this one. mpc is a regular poster on TES MFL forum and recommended this excellent site. It is called Tools for educators and allows the user to create all manner of resources for use in the classroom.

It allows the user to create:
wordsearches
dice
board games
crosswords
bingo cards
dominoes
and a cornucopia of other types of resources which lend themselves rather well to teaching languages.
