Approaches:
This song can be used with a younger class just to practise saying the letters of the alphabet in order in French.

The video is quite retro now and some older learners may want to express opinions about the images etc.

NB Some of the lyrics are quite risque and might need careful handling / gloss with some classes

Rationale:
This song illustrates the playfulness of the French language, with words here being made out of the letters of the alphabet in order.

There are idiomatic and vernacular language examples

Outcomes:
An older class might be interested in that concept and could try to write some verses of their own on the same model.
