Running dictation French leisure opinions KS3

Activity to practise all four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) in French around giving opinions on leisure/ free time activities. I have used this activity with a high ability year 7 or 8 class or with a year 9 class as revision.

Use with grids in Word documents. Students complete in teams – one student per team may be on their feet at any one time. Filled in grids of the model text need to be stuck up around the room. One student per team goes to the model text, remembers what they can and dictates it to their team member, who fills in the empty grid (one word per box). Model texts may not be taken down. Students may not stand by model text and shout bits of their text back to their team (reading and writing). First team to finish wins but there are also points for accuracy. One point is available per box completed.
