French Speaking Activity: Speed Dating
For French level 2 or up. Student receive a dating profile and have to adopt it as their identity. The profile includes likes/dislikes as well as political views and opinions on jobs, children, etc. There are also questions to help students begin their conversations. At the bottom of each profile is a chart where the students write the name of their partner and determine how compatible they are with that person. The students are placed in 2 rows of two desks facing each other. Female profiles in one row and male profiles in the other. The row of female profiles will not move. You may have a male student adopting a female profile, which just makes it a lot of fun. After three minutes with a partner, the male profiles move one seat down. After 8 turns, students add up their totals to determine who their best match would be. Really fun and successful activity. My French 3s loved it!
