A selection of “One Pen One Dice” activities for GCSE Studio French
Students take it in turns to roll the dice. The first person who rolls a 6 takes the pen and starts translating. Player 2 rolls the dice until they roll a 6 and says “C’est à moi” (It’s my turn!) This player has now won the pen and can start translating. Player 1 has the dice and needs a 6 to steal the pen. The winner is the first person to correctly translate all the sentences.
NB: To make this activity “COVID-safe”, students should have a dice each and use their own pen.
Could equally be used for individual “remote-learning” translation practice - ideal revision for GCSE students who are isolating, or during school closures
