FrançaisMon GO

Overview

FrançaisMon GO began as QR Scavenger Hunt review activity themed around the popular app, Pokémon GO. It went on to serve as an interactive Professional Development Presentation, then in Version 2.0, it was completely transformed into a gamified approach to covering content.

Audience: Beginning French learners and educators

Need

Turn end-of-term review—and later a full unit of course content—into active, communicative practice that invited learners to explore.

Solution

A campus-spanning experience combining story episodes, ProfStops, QR activities, physical materials, teams, rewards, and curriculum-aligned missions.

Deliverable

The original activity became a professional-development experience and then a substantially expanded, curriculum-integrated 2.0 version.

Significance

This project taught me the difference between adding a theme and designing a coherent gameful experience through testing, feedback, and iteration.

Methods & tools: Web and print design · QR activities · Game design · Live facilitation

How it grew

The original end-of-term campus review became a professional-development experience and then a six-episode unit woven directly into Beginning French II.

How it played

Learners completed communicative missions, explored campus locations, scanned QR-linked ProfStops, gathered story clues, and developed a partner character through progress and rewards.
