If you want to have a project with the kids that also integrates some technology, there is a site that I use frequently with my 7th Grade Exploratory class. It is on the Culturequest site, and it is easy to keep them contained onto useful Internet information.
The address is:
www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/6676/
Hope this helps!

Why not :

Ask them what their favourite foods are, and what they usually eat at home. Get them to check where the food-stuffs and recipes come from originally. Are any of them connected with France? 
Why French-fries?

Get hold of a French restaurant menu. Try, for example :
http://www.adx.fr/la-mule-du-pape/mule1.html 
- you will find other restaurant pages on LYCOS. Ask the students to see if there's anything they recognize (vrais amis existent). Then ask them to imagine holding a banquet in the restaurant. 
What would they order?

Look for recipes on the Web - try Bocuse on a search engine - and see if you can find any for the menu that you have chosen. 

You could also see if there's anything on Acadian food, which is reputed to be delicious.

Hello, does anyone know of some good sites with some basic French vocabulary for Sports?  Looking for names of sports, links to French Sports news etc.

Try the "Terrain des Sports" du quartier français

All you could possibly need & more.  Enjoy.
