The games feature a range of fruits and vegetables in ***French***:
***Set 1***: focus on French fruits
***Set 2***: focus on French vegetables
***Set 3***: focus on a combination of both French fruits and French vegetables
***I have, Who has? J'ai... Qui a... ?*** is a whole-group lively & communicative language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing ***French target language***.
The game has a ***multi-skill focus:*** listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. The game is perfect for ***pronunciation practice*** too - particularly with ***silent s***, the non-/audible sound of x (***deux and dix*** for example) and so on.
I point out particular ***phonemes and sounds*** too - such as the ***ch in champignons***, the ***soft c in citron*** compared to the ***hard c in carotte*** , the ***eu in chou-fleur*** and the ***ei in groseilles***.
The aim of the game is to create a ***French sentence chain*** as quickly as possible, starting with ***J’ai la première carte***, and ending with the final card, ***C’est la dernière carte***. The game also works well if the sentence sequence is placed on the floor, a longish table, or other flat surface. I created the game for my ***young beginner French*** learners, but I’ve also played the game with my older ***adult French*** learners, who really enjoy it too.
The design is four cards per page, which allows for a large font, which is really important for beginner language learners who are familiar with the written word, and starting to ***link spelling with sound***. Try to print in color if you can - it adds to the visual appeal of the game, which is a real motivator for learning.
I always laminate my games cards, which is definitely worth the extra prep time and additional expense - the cards are far more learner-friendly, and last in excellent condition for years, so I get lots of use from them.
***There are 29 fruits featured in the games***: green apple; red apple; banana; cherry; date; fig; gooseberries; grapefruit; green grapes; red grapes; honeydew melon; kiwi; lemon; lime; mango; nectarine; olive; orange; papaya; peach; pear; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberry; watermelon.
***with 28 vegetables***: artichoke; asparagus; aubergine; green beans; beetroot; broccoli; Brussels sprout; cabbage; carrot; cauliflower; celery; cucumber; garlic; leek; lettuce; mushroom; onion; peas; green pepper; red pepper; yellow pepper; potato; sweet potato; radish; spinach; sweetcorn; tomato; zucchini.
All the fruits and vegetables may not be in my longer-term learning plan, but the learning objective moves beyond simply learning individual units of vocabulary. The images help students ***infer meaning from context***, supported by the visual prompts and clues. This in turn supports them in ***developing their French language skills*** in the longer and more complex sentences.
There is ***implicit input on grammatical concepts*** such as ***adjectival agreement***, ***gender***, ***definite***, ***indefinite and partitive articles*** and ***position of adjectives***, either preceding or proceeding the particular noun. This is a very successful way of really getting the most of what looks like a straightforward game for consolidating the target vocabulary - it is actually so much more!
The ***question card template*** provides an additional learning activity, with students applying their developing ***French*** language knowledge creatively and practically, as they make game cards for the class. This is*** integral to successful language learning***, and it's actually a really popular activity with my students. They read their new sentences to the whole class, and it's generally a competition to see who can create the longest sentences with the most fruits.
Download, print out, laminate, cut out & shuffle the cards. Distribute the cards, one or two per student, depending on how many students you have in your group. I often play too - students really do enjoy it when I join in, and they seem to work that little harder on their ***concentration, reading out loud and pronunciation***. Students walk around the room, talking to each other in their ***best French accent***, sharing the information on their cards, until they have arranged the cards in the correct order. The game is also really successful when we play in teams against a timer, regularly over a longer-term series of lessons - students love to see if they can beat their own time record, as well as the other teams. The competitive element is a great motivator for learning too.
