What’s Manie Musicale?
Manie Musicale is an annual bracket-style competition for students and teachers of French (Grades 5 -12). Similar to March Madness basketball in the United States, participants try to predict which of 16 francophone songs will be the most popular. Once the tournament starts, voters decide which song will advance to the next round until we have a champion. The best part? Students learn French while having fun with students from all over the world. Sign up typically starts December 1st – March 1st.
Educators head over to the official MANIE MUSICALE website where you will find details on how to sign up, a “coin des profs”, resources and even a buddy system! Be sure to also join their very active private Facebook page.
