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. You can see a free sample here: and here for Spanish: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-13409208

Suitable for GCSE students. Students work In groups of three where one person is referee and the other 2 play against one another.

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. I have included a French to English version and an English to French one.
