French This or That Activity - Ceci ou Cela French Icebreaker

This French ceci ou cela - this or that activity is perfect for back to school, end of the year, or anytime when everyone wants to have a little fun with French.

Use this "this or that" activity as a French speaking activity for partners or groups, as a whole-class activity you project for the entire class.

Alternatively, you can make this a moving around activity. Students start by standing in a big group. When the choices on the cards are read, they move to the side of the room that is associated with their choice (see the arrows on the cards). Those who can’t make up their mind or don’t have a preference remain in the center. Students will see all of the things that they have in common with their classmates and will likely learn some new vocabulary while they’re at it. This is a great back to school ice-breaker!

This activity requires no teacher prep once the set of cards is printed and cut out. If you don’t want to print, there’s a PDF with only one card per page that you can project and play as a whole class activity.

Included:

• PDF of cards to project when you don’t want to print - One card per page
• PDF of 50 cards to print and cut out - Four cards per page
• Instructions on how to use this 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.
