Carnaval de Québec - Bonhomme, Bonhomme - French Chanson Listening Comprehension

This listening comprehension activity to the famous song « Bonhomme, Bonhomme » is an excellent way to practice and assess French listening comprehension skills, while also celebrating le Carnaval de Québec in your French classroom!

There are two sections within the activity for students to complete after listening to the song. First, there are 10 instruments listed and students must circle the 4 instruments that are mentioned in the song, as well as cross out the 6 incorrect instruments. In the second section, students are to write down the 4 instruments in the correct order that they are heard in the song by filling in the blanks.

When completing this activity in my own classroom, I like to play the song many times on repeat, with only the audio being projected, not the music video. If needed (depending on my class), I will sometimes pause the music after a new instrument is listed to give my students time to find the correct instrument.

An answer key is available for efficient grading, along with a link to the song on YouTube for easy access.

This is a great resource to add to your Carnaval de Québec unit for your primary and junior Core French language learners, especially as it connects perfectly to the Listening strand and the Intercultural Understanding expectation of the Grade 5 Core French Ontario Curriculum.

This resource is also available as part of my Carnaval de Québec BUNDLE to save 15%.
