French cities/countries/nationality/past tense & game

I have found this activity as a really fun way to introduce Past tense, as well as consolidate knowledge of cities, countries and nationalities.

The game is called “Kill the tortoise”.

1. The class divide into teams.
2. Each team is given two mini white boards and a white board pen.
3. On one white board they must draw a tortoise with:

• One head / One body / One shell / One tail / Four feet.

1. Ask a question to the class

• Red challenge: Je suis allé à ____
• Orange challenge: Je suis allé à ___ en ___
• Green challenge: Je suis allé à ___ en ___ et j’ai rencontré un ____

1. If they are correct they get to “Kill” one part of another team’s turtle.
   Rule: They can not go to the same team twice in a row.
2. Team with the most remaining parts of their turtle is the winner.

It creates a great atmosphere and the pupils really enjoy themselves.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement or you spot any mistakes!

Merci beaucoup!
