This is designed to be a lesson for early learners, introducing the idea of speaking spontaneously in French. It starts with the sounds of French (e.g. 'oi', 'é'). There's then a Kim's Game with French words that pupils have to work out the pronunciation of, using the sound-spelling rules. Next is a Connect 4-style game, using more words that pupils have to work out how to pronounce. Then the PowerPoint goes through some spontaneous phrases to be used in lessons, ending with a dictionary task - "Qu-est-ce que c'est?"

Pupils work in pairs to play the game. It is designed to encourage spoken skills. They throw the dice and work their way around the board, asking each other questions.

Following the popularity of Blockbusters resources, here is the template I use in my lessons. Add the first letters of words in a phrase, images or words to the ‘Add text, initials or picture here’ on the yellow hexagons. In teams (red and blue), pupils aim to make a continuous line of their colour horizontally. This can be as long or as short as they want, as long as it’s continuous. The other team will aim to block them. When they have chosen a yellow hexagon and have answered correctly, click on that hexagon (on your computer). Then click on the relevant team colour to make it change to either blue or red. Instructions are in the notes section of the PowerPoint.
