IN THIS RESOURCE:

• Vocabulary support page (print if students require it for support)

• 4 IN A ROW: 2 different boards. Print and laminate. Works well in A3 for larger groups but A4 is good too. First to get four in a row wins. Students roll dice, choose a word from that number column and say it in French. If correct, use a dry-wipe pen to put a symbol / initial in that box.

• Loop Game: Print and laminate the 18 cards, which form a continuous loop. Distribute among players. First player reads aloud the ‘Qui a…?’ (‘Who has?’) side, stating the word under the picture in English. The others check if they have the matching French. If they do, they read out both sides of their card, saying first ‘J’ai…’ and then the word in French, before reading out the right-hand side of their card, and so on.

• JIGSAW: 16 piece puzzle where students match up images with French words. A version without the blue background is also included for eco-printing.

• BINGO: 16 cards for a game of bingo, perhaps in pairs. The teacher or a student could read out French school words. Or use them for Noughts and Crosses, with students taking turns to say aloud a word in French from their card. If laminated, use a dry-wipe pen.

• PAIRS / PELMANISM: Spread out face down and students take turns to turn over 2 identical cards. Students must say the word in French before they keep the cards.
