Outline of activities
A simple game of Guess Who where the class teacher
reads out a series of clues to narrow characters down
to one last one, e.g. “Je n’ai pas les cheveux bleus.”
and anyone with a character card with blue hair
should sit down. The negatives require the pupils to
listen carefully to the full sentence, not just the key
words.
In order to challenge able pupils, several cards were
issued for them to check simultaneously. Additional
development could include pupils creating their own
clues for each other.
Teacher Voice
The video evidence shows that the pupils can confidently participate in the game, showing their understanding of the simple French descriptions.
Instructions were given slowly and were repeated. As
the pupils become more confident, quicker dialogue
can be used to enhance their listening skills.
