A group work activity. Groups of six. No preparation, everything is ready to print. Only a _teeny-tiny_ bit of cutting up to do on the reading out loud bit! Each group has a sign - fold in half and display on each table. Explain each table before you start to the group and give strict time limits to start/finish/move round. I've done this with quite low ability groups and they love it. Dice required! If you don't have lovely, quiet, sponge ones, try a sandwich bag with cards with numbers on (could even be in French!) and they shut their eyes to pick one out. If you need any more information, let me know!
