This packet was a great way to play a trick on my kids. I had been telling them all week that we were going to have a test. Then I gave them all a packet and said that they could not turn it over until I said. Then, I called Poisson d'Avril! and we all had a chuckle. We learned some great information and were able to answer the questions with relative ease. Thank you for making this for us! :)

This packet was lots of fun for my beginning French students, and I imagine that even fun-loving level 2 & above students would really enjoy it as well!
To make the Poisson d'Avril activity a bit more exciting for my students, I gave 100's for cultural participation to every student who brought me a fish with a teacher's signature on it - they loved this!
