Suitable for GCSE students. Students work In groups of three where one person is referee and the other 2 play against one another. Person A goes first and starts translating section number 1, if person A translates correctly, they move onto number 2 and so on. When a mistake is made player B has a go, starting from the top. Whenever a player resumes their turn, they start from the beginning. The referee has the answers and will guide the 2 players and decide whose turn is next. I have included a French to English version and an English to French one.
