Games are a great way to engage pupils so they have fun whilst they are learning in a meaningful context. To differentiate the learning activities for classes of different abilities, the games have been colour coded according to the amount of French words that appear in the games. “Vert” is for the lower ability group, “jaune” is for the middle ability group, and “rouge” is for the higher ability group. At the front of the book you will find a detailed plan of which French words eachability group has for each topic. The 8 great topics in this fantastic book include pet animals, colours, numbers, fruit, drinks, food, clothes and sport.
