It’s a reading aloud, dictation and translation task.
Print out (preferably on card) and fold like a toblerone.
Students work in pair, taking it in turn to read aloud while the partner write down what they hear.
Then, they do the translation task together and check their answers.
I print out the answers to the translation and place it inside the Toblerone.

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.
