Paired or Group Speaking Game - No, because…
What is this game? A guessing game to get your students speaking! This game is similar to (but more challenging than) the game of twenty questions.
Number of players: Two people or a small group. It can be challenging, so I recommend this game for grades 6 and higher.
What is included: 50 playing cards
How to play: This game is very simple, but you really need to explain how it works for students to play it correctly and not turn it into a 20 questions type of game. One player thinks of an object and the other players try to guess what it is. Each card has an image of a person, place, or a thing. The person holding the card is the one who will do the most speaking. The other people in the group will simply ask questions like “Is it a _____?” All they can ask is if the image on the card is a particular noun. The person holding the card has to answer by saying, “No, it’s not a ____ because……”
Examples:
Player 1 is holding a card and sees an image of a banana.
Player 2 says something like, “Is it a shoe?”
Player 1 has to respond by starting out with saying something like “No, because it’s not something you wear.”
Player 2 guesses another specific noun, and then another. He or she might say “Is it a chair?”
Player 1 might say "No, because you don’t sit on it.
Player 2 continues to guess, and might say “Is it a car?”
Player 1 might say “No, because you don’t drive it.”
Player 2 continues to guess, and might say “Is it broccoli?”
Player 1 might say “No, because it’s sweeter.”
Player 2 might say “Is it an apple?”
Now that Player 2 has guessed a fruit, he’s pretty close.
Player 1 can now say something like “No, but it is a fruit.”
Player 2 now just starts guessing different fruits until he or she gets it.
This can be a challenging game that requires a good amount of thought, and you really have to tell your students who are guessing that they can’t ask question about what’s on the card. They can ONLY ask if it’s a specific noun. The player holding the card can’t answer YES or NO. They really need to remember that their response has to begin with NO, BECAUSE…
This is a fun game that will really get your students speaking, and you’ll love hearing them as they play it!

Included with each game:

Have students work in small groups of 2-4 or project the game and use it as a whole class activity.
Many of the words may be new to your students as this game is meant not only to practice forming questions, but also to build vocabulary. I like to allow my students to look at the game chart while they play until they’re somewhat familiar with the words. After they’ve played the games a few times looking at the French-English version they feel more prepared to move on to the French only version.
One student in the small group or class chooses a word on the chart. Other students ask up to 20 questions trying to guess the secret word.
The student who has chosen the secret word can answer using the following responses: OUI - NON - PARFOIS - RAREMENT - GÉNÉRALEMENT - PEUT-ÊTRE - CELA DÉPEND - PROBABLEMENT
Alternative game play:
To change up the game and to make it more challenging as well as practicing other skills, have the student who chooses the secret word describe it to others in the group. Instead of asking questions about the secret word, other students listen to the description and guess it.
French Speaking Game - Non, parce que…
What is this game? A guessing game to get your students speaking! This game is similar to (but more challenging than) the game of twenty questions.
Number of players: Two people or a small group. It can be challenging, so I recommend this game for grades 6 and higher.
What is included: 50 playing cards

One player thinks of an object and the other players try to guess what it is. Each card has an image of a person, place, or a thing. The person holding the card is the one who will do the most speaking. The other people in the group will simply ask questions like “C’est un / une _____?” All they can ask is if the image on the card is a particular noun. The person holding the card has to answer by saying, “Non, ce n’est pas un / une ____ parce que……”
Examples:
Player 1 is holding a card and sees an image of a banana.
Player 2 says something like, “C’est une chaussure?”
Player 1 has to respond by starting out with saying something like “Non, parce que ce n’est pas quelque chose que l’on porte.”
Player 2 guesses another specific noun, and then another. He or she might say “C’est une chaise?”
Player 1 might say "Non, parce qu’on ne s’assied pas dessus.
Player 2 continues to guess, and might say “C’est une voiture?”
Player 1 might say “Non, parce qu’on ne la conduit pas.”
Player 2 continues to guess, and might say “Ce sont des brocolis?”
Player 1 might say “Non, parce que c’est plus sucrée.”
Player 2 might say “C’est une pomme?”
Now that Player 2 has guessed a fruit, he’s pretty close.
Player 1 can now say something like “Non, mais c’est un fruit.”
Player 2 now just starts guessing different fruits until he or she gets it.
This can be a challenging game that requires a good amount of thought, and you really have to tell your students who are guessing that they can’t ask question about what’s on the card.
