2. Repetition-Based Learning: Utilize the power of repetition to solidify vocabulary retention. Students will practice writing Mardi Gras words multiple times, enhancing their memory and fluency.

4. Word Search: This activity enhances spelling, vocabulary recognition, and problem-solving skills.
5. Alphabetizing: Alphabetizing vocabulary requires active cognitive processing. Students must analyze the words, compare their initial letters, and determine their correct placement in the alphabetical sequence. This cognitive engagement deepens understanding and promotes stronger memory connections with the vocabulary terms.
6. Crossword Puzzle: When students create a crossword puzzle, they actively engage with the vocabulary words. They must think about the meanings of the words, consider their spelling, and create clues that correspond to each word. This active involvement promotes deeper processing and understanding of the vocabulary.
7. Short Answer: Provide an opportunity for students to apply the vocabulary in meaningful ways. By constructing responses, students connect the vocabulary to specific contexts, demonstrating their understanding of how the words are used. This application helps with recall and enhances their ability to use it effectively. French and English question options
8. Article Practice: Reinforce grammar basics through organizing nouns by gender.
