A: Tu portes une chemise normalement ?

B: Oui, je porte une chemise normalement.

OU:

A: Portes-tu une chemise en ce moment ?

B: Non, je ne porte pas une chemise en ce moment.

Timing: 5 minutes

Aim: To practise spoken question production (intonation alone or subject-verb inversion) and answering in either the affirmative or negative, as appropriate

Procedure:

1. The aim of the game is to cross off four adjacent squares in a row. Each student picks his/her own colour to do this.

2. Student A picks a square, and asks a question as suggested by the verb phrase in the square – see animated example on slide, which should be played through for students before starting.

3. The question should contain either normalement or en ce moment, at the choice of Student A, who is trying to elicit both affirmative and negative responses.

4. Upon production of a valid question in correct French, Student A crosses off the relevant square in his/her own colour.

5. Student B responds to the question honestly, in either the affirmative or the negative as required, as per the examples on the slide.

6. Upon production of a valid answer in correct French, Student B crosses off the relevant square in his/her own colour

7. The winner is the first student to cross off four boxes in a row, either vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

8. If all questions and answers are produced correctly in a given round, then obviously Student A will win, having started first. When partners swap roles, this advantage will be reversed. Clearly, any mistake gives the advantage to the opposing side.

9. Partners swap roles after four questions have been asked. If the previous round resulted in a win, they start again; if not, they play on until there is a winner.
