Section Three - Part B Bon anniversaire The French love to have a reason to get families together to celebrate. One such occasion that generally brings family members together is the anniversaire. Let's think about what a birthday celebration in France might be like. There may be a special meal that the family would come and join you in. Then after the meal, the gâteau would come out with the bougies glowing brightly. Then the family would sing Bon Anniversaire as the birthday boy or girl would blow out the candles and enjoy the special time. There is a jingle that is sung to the birthday person. Listen and read it, then prepare to send a recording of it to your teacher. Bon anniversaire, mes vœux les plus sincères Que ces quelques fleurs vous apportent le bonheur Que l’année entière vous soit douce et légère Et que l’an fini, nous soyons tous réunis Pour chanter en chœur :”Bon Anniversaire !” Once you feel completely confident with the song chorus and verse above, record this and send it to your teacher.
