French time revision and forming questions practice
I used this as a lesson opener, each question allowing students to work progressively more independently and having to remember the formation of questions around time.

The goal of the Essen board game is to practice your German food vocabulary. Roll the dice, move around the board, and place the correct English circles over the German words. Watch out for mistakes, though, as you’ll need to fix them in order to win.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Game board
English food circles
Dice (optional)
Instructions:
The youngest player starts first, beginning from the “Gehen Wir” space.
Roll the dice and move your game piece along the path.
When you land on a circle with a German word, match it with the cut out English circles while saying them out loud.
If you land on a question mark (?), translate one of the words in the box.
If you place the English circle correctly, it stays there. Great job!
However, if you place the English circle in the wrong spot, you’ll need to fix it. Go back to your previous position on the board and try again on your next turn.
Keep taking turns, rolling the dice, and learning German food words.
The game ends when all the German food cards have been used and all the English circles have been correctly placed on the board.
Optional Variations:
For an easier game, use coloured English words: green for feminine words, red for masculine words, yellow for neuter words and blue for plural words.
For a more challenging game, use plain English words without any gender clues.
Top Tips:
Print the board game on A3 and play in groups of 2-4. Appoint one person in the group to have the vocab list at hand to confirm right or wrong answers!
