Flashcards • Use the cards as straight forward flashcards—where you have your child look at the picture and say the French word, or have them say the English word for the French word on the flashcards. 2. Memory • Flip the picture and word cards upside down. Flip over two cards at a time and try to find a match. 3. Go fish/Va pêcher • Use the picture cards and their matching word. Each person starts with 5 cards. Try to find the match to the cards in your hand by asking the other players for that card. Ask for the card in French—example: I have the picture card of a baby in my hand and I ask for UN BÉBÉ from another player; I have the word UN ONCLE in my hand so I ask for (the picture card of) UN ONCLE from another player. If the other player does not have the requested card, pick a card up from the pile (go fish). If you match all the cards in your hand and there are still cards in the pile, select 3 more cards from the pile and continue playing until all the cards have been matched. The player with the most matches wins. 4. Mix it up and Race to Match • Put the cards face up and mixed up in a pile. The race is to try to match all the cards correctly. Time your child and record the time. Have your child try to beat his/her time. 5. Qui est Qui? Refer to the next page (with the picture of the family tree on it) and follow the instructions below.
