France Trivia Game - French Game Activity

By Love Learning Languages - French Resources

This 90 question trivia game is loads of fun for an end of the year or semester game, a back to school activity, a sub plan or use trivia for bell ringer and icebreaker activities.

Though his product was created for French classes, it will work for any high school class since the questions are based on general knowledge and not only French related information. I’ve included several different versions (see full details below) including French only and French and English as well as powerpoint versions which will allow you to project the game and play as a class.

This trivia game is great fun as a French club activity!

You may also enjoy my France Trivia Quiz Activity - French Culture Game

This resource includes:

90 trivia cards - French only with answers

90 trivia cards - French only without answers

90 trivia cards - French and English with answers

90 trivia cards - French and English without answers

Each trivia question is assigned a point value (the easiest are worth 1 point and the most difficult are worth 9 points).

There are a number of ways you can play this game. Here are some of the ways I like to use this game:

1. Have students play in small groups of at least 3. One student calls the questions and verifies the answers. Students keep track of their score and in the end the one with the most points wins.

2. Project the PDF version of the game and have students write their answers and points scored on a numbered sheet of paper. You could easily allow students to work in small groups so that they can help each other out. In the end, the group with the most points wins.

3. Classic Jeopardy: Draw the game board which is composed of boxes with points in them on the classroom's whiteboard or project it from a computer. Group students into teams. The game starts when the teacher chooses the first easy box that teams need to answer. Once the first box has been answered, the team that answered correctly can choose the next question. They can choose the hardest questions if they want additional points or they can opt for easier ones for lower amounts of points. For the final round, also known as DOUBLE JEOPARDY the points double. The game ends when all the questions on the board game have been answered and the team with the highest score wins.

Why use Icebreakers?

  1. Building Relationships: Icebreakers help students get to know each other and form connections early in the school year. This promotes a sense of community and reduces feelings of isolation, especially for new students or those transitioning to a new grade.
  2. Reducing Anxiety: The first days of school can be nerve-wracking for students, and icebreakers help alleviate anxiety by creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. When students feel more comfortable, they are more likely to engage and participate in class activities.
  3. Promoting Communication: Icebreakers encourage students to communicate with each other and express their thoughts and ideas. Improved communication skills positively impact their ability to collaborate and work effectively in group settings.
  4. Enhancing Social Skills: Icebreakers provide opportunities for students to practice social skills, such as active listening, empathy, and respect for others' opinions. These skills are vital for building healthy relationships throughout the school year and beyond.
  5. Improving Learning Outcomes: Positive classroom dynamics resulting from icebreakers can lead to increased student engagement and motivation. When students feel comfortable in their learning environment, they are more likely to participate, ask questions, and take academic risks.
  6. Creating a Positive Classroom Culture: Icebreakers contribute to the establishment of a positive classroom culture. By encouraging teamwork and mutual support from the beginning, students are more likely to demonstrate kindness and empathy throughout the school year.
  7. Identifying Common Interests: Through icebreaker activities, students may discover shared interests, hobbies, or experiences. Finding common ground fosters a sense of belonging and encourages students to celebrate their differences and similarities.
  8. Gathering Information: For educators, icebreakers can be a valuable tool for gathering insights into their students' backgrounds, strengths, and challenges. Understanding students' individual needs helps tailor instruction to support their academic and emotional growth.
  9. Strengthening Teacher-Student Relationships: Engaging in icebreakers allows teachers to connect with their students on a personal level. This approachability can help students feel comfortable seeking help or discussing concerns with their teachers.
  10. Setting a Positive Tone: Icebreakers set a positive tone for the entire school year. When students experience a warm and inviting atmosphere from the beginning, they are more likely to approach learning with enthusiasm and a growth mindset.

You might be interested in the Time Capsule Back to School Packet, which includes 22 pages in a "capsule" that helps students reflect on who they are as a person, their goals, and reveals their personalities. There are plenty of creative as well as writing activities to complete. Also, tons of activities you would expect to see in a time capsule like letters to your future self and a list of current pressing issues happening in the world..all activities that are high-interest for Gen Z! Students love unsealing them at the end of the year or at some point in the future...like graduation!

Back to School ELA Escape Room - SECOND EDITION

By Language Arts Excellence

The first version of our Back to School ELA Escape Room has been so popular that we decided to create a second edition to give our valued teachers more options. You do not need to have the first edition to enjoy this one but definitely check it out!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length ELA Escape Room. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game!

How does it work?

Your students must learn to collaborate with their new peers to escape your classroom by solving 5 different Language Arts skills-based puzzles, discovering a hidden message, and finding clues along the way.

  • Comma Drama: In the first task, students must identify comma rules used in 6 celebrity quotes. When matched correctly on a mat puzzle, shaded boxes reveal the first code.
  • Afri-cademy: In the second task, students must identify the parts of speech in words used in a non-fiction article about schools in Africa. Once complete, they must unscramble shaded boxes in the answers to reveal the code.
  • Ah-Mazing: In the third task, students must solve a challenging word maze. Letters collected along the way form the third code.
  • The Hard Way: In the fourth task, students must perform a close reading of The Hard Way by The Kinks. The letters of the multiple choice questions about the poem will form the fourth code.
  • Pop Quiz!: In the final task, students must take information they gathered from the first four tasks and fill out a crossword puzzle. Once complete, they must unscramble the circled letters to reveal their final code to escape!

Product Includes:

- Escape Room Basics

- Detailed Day-Of Instructions

- Escape Room Print Checklist

- Student Teams Chart

- Welcome Sign for Your Door

- Materials for 5 Tasks: task signs to be folded upright, task instructions (2 per page for easy printing), and necessary information to be kept at stations

- Student Answer Booklets (small and large options)

- Teacher Answer Keys

- Code Word Theme Open Response for homework or in-class writing activity

- Escape Room Reflection for homework or in-class writing activity

Although this escape room is ideal for the beginning of the school year, it can be used at any time throughout the year without modification.
