Based on the game show, Pointless, this resource works with cognates in French. Full instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.

This PPT introduces various quantities to use with food & drink in French. It starts with an example conversation, buying food & drink and pupils must first identify the quantities. Then, the quantity phrases are formally introduced. Finally, pupils play noughts and crosses with the new vocab.

Give the students the gap-fill text about food & drink with 10 gaps in it (A to I). Of course, this can be more or fewer gaps – just remember to adjust the A to I in the table. In each gap in the text, write a letter (A to I). Along the corresponding row in the table, give 6 alternatives to go in that gap. Pupils then choose one by rolling a dice. When the student reaches the gap, they roll a dice and say/write the corresponding word.

Introduce pupils to different time phrases that refer to particular tenses (past, present & future), allowing them to show off their knowledge of tenses in a simple way. After introducing the time phrases, pupils must identify which tense must be used for each time phrase that appears on the board. They do this by stepping backwards (past), stomping (present) and stepping forwards (future).
