There are many ways you can use this set of 50 vrai ou faux cards:
➤ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions. When a statement is said to be false, students have to then correct the statement to make it true. Simple negation is fine if you say so, but if you want to up the game and make it a real challenge have students correct the sentences with the correct information! Answer key is provided for small group work or centers.
➤ Use as a warm-up speaking activity with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.
➤ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out correct answers to false statements.
➤ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.
➤ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.
➤ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer true or false and to correct the false statements. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question. All cards are numbered so it is simple to stay organized. Full instructions are included.
➤ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.
➤ Use the cards as an icebreaker activity at the beginning of the school year or right after school holidays.
➤ Great resource for tutoring sessions and vocabulary building.
