Board games are going through something of a renaissance. In recent years they’ve spawned books and even their own merchandise. But they’re good for more than just fun – playing them stimulates the brain, requires memory and problem-solving skills.
Using board games in french as part of your French lessons will help bring your subject-matter to life and give every child the chance to practise key French skills without realising it. They can also be played at home – the kids will love them!
Learn the names of different foods in French with this board game. It’s a great way to introduce French food vocabulary to children and encourage them to talk about what they’re eating.
In this game players work in pairs or table groups and roll the dice to move around the board. The aim is to land on a square and then answer a question about the item that they’ve landed on – if they can correctly answer their question, they get to keep their place. However, if they land on a square with a question that they can’t answer, they have to move back three places. The first person to reach ’Arrivee’ wins.
