Warm-up
1. Begin by introducing the Can-Dos for today’s activity.
2. Go to slide 5 on the Google slides presentation. There should be several pictures of people/things related to daily routines.
Allez à la 5ème diapo de la présentation Google. Il devrait y avoir diverses photos de personnes/choses se rapportant à la routine quotidienne.
3. Have the students take turns describing one of the people/things without telling the rest of the group”. They can use colors, body parts, and especially reflexive verbs like “se brosser les cheveux” or “se laver les mains.”
Demandez aux étudiants, chacun leur tour, de décrire la personne ou la chose, sans le dire au reste du groupe. Ils peuvent utiliser des couleurs, des parties du corps, et particulièrement, des verbes pronominaux comme “se brosser les cheveux” ou “se laver les mains.”
4. Encourage students to conjugate the verbs depending on the person they’re describing. The rest of the group has to try and guess which person/thing they are describing.
Encouragez les étudiant à conjuguer les verbes selon la personne qu’il décrit. Le reste du groupe doit essayer de deviner quelle personne ou chose l’étudiant décrit.
Example: “Je vois quelqu’un qui se maquille devant un miroir.” (“I see someone putting on makeup in front of a mirror”)
Main Activity
1. Using the sheet with questions, students will roll the die with colors and they will also roll the die with numbers (re-roll the die if they receive a 6).
En utilisant les feuilles de questions, l’étudiant devra lancer le dé de couleur ainsi que le dé (relancer si le dé indique 6).
2. Depending on the color and number rolled, they will read the question that corresponds with that color and number.
Selon la couleur et le chiffre, l’étudiant devra lire et répondre à la question qui correspond.
For example, if they roll a blue and a 4 then they would read and answer the question, “Est-ce que tu t’amuses bien? Tu t’es bien amusé hier?” (“Are you having fun? Did you have fun yesterday?”)
As an instructor, if you want you can have other students in the group respond too.
En tant qu’un instructeur, vous pouvez demander aux autres étudiants du groupe de répondre également.
3. Pass the dice to the next student to roll and answer another question.
Donnez les dés au prochain étudiant afin de continuer le jeu.
