Starter? Classroom talk? Such an engaging resource- my pupils can't get enough of this activity. In pairs pupils do the quiz and find out what their ideal pet is. In the target language they ask things such as, 'tu aimes caresser les animaux?' and 'tu veux mettre ton animal dans un cage?' to reach a conclusion. They LOVE it. But it is more than just a hook. The activity can be manipulated- pupils can use the structures within the quiz to produce a complex answer to the question 'as-tu un animal?' with a response such as 'oui, j'ai un animal, j'ai un chien car je préfère les grands animaux. Je voudrais avoir un lapin mais je ne veux pas mettre mon animal dans une cage. Je n'habite pas sur une ferme donc je n'ai pas de vaches mais j'ai un grand jardin et ma mère voudrait une chèvre car elle aime le fromage.' (Obviously this will need some scaffolding perhaps in the form of a writing frame but how refreshing to bask in the joy of the final outcome!)

They shout this out followed by their own question, 'Qui a un chien?' The game continues like this until the last person ends with 'La Fin!' Excellent for vocabulary consolidation and to inject energy into the lesson. Gets pupils interacting and speaking and listening.

Could give out as an extension tool for early finishers. Give them out upon arrival and give them a time frame. At the end of the timeframe pupils go head to head in a 'bidding war'. Each pupil says how many they can translate and have to prove it. The highest bidder goes first- if he can get to his bid he wins, if he can't the next bidder goes and has to get to his highest bid to win.
