This can be used for any language. The example in the PowerPoint is in English, so it can be easily adapted to your needs. Pupils work in pairs to produce a paragraph on any given topic. They take it in turns to roll the dice. The phrase corresponding to their number is the one they have to use. When they’ve completed it, they could then learn it. Good practice for learning to learn! They must also check that the phrase makes sense. If it doesn’t (incorrect tense, etc.), they must roll again. Another idea is for pupils to translate their finished paragraph.

This can be used in any language (or subject!). Type your clues into the ‘Clue’ boxes.
