Each pupil says how many they can translate and have to prove it. The highest bidder goes first- if he can get to his bid he wins, if he can't the next bidder goes and has to get to his highest bid to win.

32 unique animals on these cards including pets, farmyard animals, wild animals and a few extra. Distribute the cards. The person with 'DEBUT' begins and asks the first question 'Qui a un hamster?' this prompts the next person who has the phrase 'J'ai un hamster' written on their card. They shout this out followed by their own question, 'Qui a un chien?' The game continues like this until the last person ends with 'La Fin!' Excellent for vocabulary consolidation and to inject energy into the lesson. Gets pupils interacting and speaking and listening.

There are 11 different colour cards and 15 different school equipment cards. You may wish to combine these in order to give one card per pupil. The pupil with the card ‘DEBUT’ begins and asks their question ‘Qui a bleu?’ The next pupil has a card saying ‘J’ai bleu’ and they shout this out before asking their own question ‘Qui a rouge?’ NB. You may prefer to use the French-Digit version of the cards which requires pupils to listen to the French ‘Qui a bleu?’ and answer ‘J’ai bleu or J’ai blue’. This increases the level of challenge. The game continues, each pupil shouting out their card and prompting the next pupil until the last pupil arrives at ‘LA FIN’. Once pupils are used to the game you will find that they enjoy racing against the clock. I usually do 2 or 3 rounds without the clock and then give them a chance to beat their record.

*NEW EXTRA: I have added a fruit PowerPoint to bring more value to the resource. * Pupils race against the clock and each other to find the meaning of 22 fruits. Task 1: work on your won to find as many of the words as you can in the allocated time (teacher to set classroom timer and provide dictionaries). Task 2: work with a partner to share answers in the allocated time. Task 3: circulate the classroom and exchange words with others in an attempt to fill in the blanks (at this point I offer my own services and offer one exchange with each pupil- they have usually left the trickier ones to the end and might need you to support in this way in order to translate all 22). Most are fruit, some are liquids- enabling them to create a simple but delicious fruit smoothie. Task 4: select 5 ingredients for a fruit smoothie (you could reward the winner). Great for developing dictionary skills; increasing vocabulary; encouraging pupil interaction and using language creatively. 3 sheets are provided- 2 in colour (a pink version and a blue version) and 1 in black and white.
