This is a trapdoor activity to get your students to practise their speaking skills. It is played in pairs. Each person chooses an option for each sentence in their head. One starts reading the text and trying to find out the other’s choices. Each time they make a choice, the partner nods or shakes his/her head. If the choice is correct the person continues until they get it wrong. When they get it wrong, the other person has a go. The aim of the game is to finish first. I did this with my Yr10 students and they enjoyed it a lot! Enjoy and don’t forget to feedback!
Here is the latest trapdoor activity I have designed for Christmas. It is like a letter to Santa that French kids always write at this sort of time to ask Santa for the presents they want for Christmas. I have also slipped in a few French Christmas traditions. I will do this with my Yr7 and Yr8 in the last week before the Christmas break. Joyeux Noël à tous et bonnes fêtes de fin d’année. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
