Objective: The objective of the game "Oops" is to get your teammates to guess a word without using certain pre-defined words or phrases associated with it - these are called "Oopsies"

Gameplay:

1. The clue giver selects a number from the selection board, revealing the word to be described as well as the "oopsies" associated with it.
2. The clue giver must then describe the word without using any of the "oopsies".
3. The guessers on the team try to guess the word based on the clues given. The guesser sits with their back turned to the slide, while the clue giver faces the slide.
4. The guesser can make as many guesses as they want within 1 minute.
5. If a teammate guesses the word correctly, the team earns a point. However, if the clue giver uses an "oopsie," they forfeit a point.
6. After the minute is up or the word is correctly guessed, play passes to the next team.
7. Play continues back and forth until all the slides have been used or a set number of rounds has been completed.
8. The team with the most number of points wins.

NEW phlebotomy bundle! PowerPoints and Study Guide!

Includes 6 items.

Use these French vocabulary building activities with groups of students who need to learn and practice specific vocabulary and what to say in everyday situations in French. 100 different situations in which it is useful to have specific vocabulary are included.

You can use these one page worksheets all year long with students at every level. They make for an easy, no prep lesson when you need to have a sub and you still want your students to speak French together.

I've also used this type of activity a lot with my French club. If you want your students to practice writing and would prefer to opt for a silent activity, why not use them in a fun game of SCOOT? With 100 worksheets you'll have more than enough to put different vocabulary themes on each desk. Instructions are included.

Each of the 100 worksheets is only in French so they are perfect for both immersion and core French programs. The vocabulary themes are suitable for any age, from primary immersion through high school with traditional French as a second language kids. Each worksheet includes an image to illustrate the theme.

There are several ways I like to use these worksheets which are fantastic bell ringers and ice breakers. I love to have them on hand at back to school and toward the end of the year to use as review. All 100 worksheets are also included in my French Ice-Breaker Bundle for Back to School.

SCOOT: Tape a different version of the worksheets to each desk or seat in your classroom. Choose vocabulary themes that your students should be familiar with. Students move around the classroom from seat to seat and will rotate through all of the worksheets. All students start at their own seat and take note of the worksheet they begin with. Students write something they would say in the chosen vocabulary theme and record their name next to it. They can’t repeat what another student has already written! When the teacher says BOUGEZ after a chosen amount of time (15 - 30 seconds or so will keep the game fast paced) students move to the next seat and start all over again with a different theme. Play the game until students make it to their original seat. It may be helpful to number the desks so that students will know which seat to move to next. You can always collect the sheets after the game to do a quick assessment if you wish. I’ve included an additional response sheet as the one page worksheet only has space for ten responses. (see ADDITIONAL RESPONSE SHEET included in the download).

SMALL GROUPS: Students work with partners or small groups to come up with short sentences using target vocabulary. Using the charts provided, students write down what they would say to the person indicated (doctor, postman, etc) and they write the name of the person who said it. Each person in the group should say at least one thing.

Qu’est-ce que tu dirais? What would you say? Short sentence

Qui l’a dit? Who said it? Name of student

AS A CLASS: Use worksheets as a whole classroom activity and have students circulate asking as many different people as possible to contribute things one says (des trucs qu’on dit) to different people and in different situations. Be sure to remind students to indicate the person who gave the response on his or her paper and encourage them not to ask the same student for more than one response.

With 100 different worksheets and each with a different theme, you can pick out one to use in practically any situation and they make for a fun way to review vocabulary. I always encourage my students to write down the new vocabulary they learn in categories.

When the worksheet is full you can call on individual students randomly and have them read the responses they liked the best stating who said them.

There is a one page worksheet for each of the vocabulary themes. I recommend printing them all out and putting them in a folder so that you have easy access when it’s time to make photocopies. Answer keys are not included as they are not applicable to this type of activity.

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.
