Mme Réponse-à-tout on grammar: Jawad has been listening to the song and notices that in some of the verses le comes before the day of the week - eg 'le lundi soir'. As we never say ‘the Monday evening’ in English he wants to make sure he knows what it means in French.
Un petit jeu (A little game): The presenters think of a quick game to practise the different sports. They give a listener just 30 seconds to name as many sports as she can.
