You can use these cards after learning specific vocabulary for professions or as a fun interactive activity on a day when you want to just focus on speaking and reviewing vocabulary in a different way. Read on to find out 9 ways I like to use these cards including the very popular SCOOT game. Instructions and recording sheet are included.

There are 30 questions in all. Most of the questions are asked in the TU form and require the answering student to respond using JE. More than half of the questions begin with an interrogative word encouraging more than OUI and NON responses. 

Topics used in these cards:
* Places at school
* Teachers and subjects
* School supplies
* Personal experiences
* Preferences

All cards are visually stimulating and feature a circle to punch out in the upper left corner so that you can print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and hook the cards together with a keyring. Have a look at the thumbnail to see how cute they turn out. Using these cards this way makes it easy to pull them out year after year to use as NO PREP speaking activities.

There are many ways you can use this set of task cards:

➤ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions. Answer key is provided for small group work or centers.

➤ Use as a warm-up speaking activity with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box. 

➤ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out correct answers to false statements.

➤ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer. 

➤ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards. 

➤ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer true or false and to correct the false statements. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question. All cards are numbered so it is simple to stay organized. Full instructions are included.

➤ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.

➤ Use the cards as an icebreaker activity at the beginning of the school year or right after school holidays.

➤ Great resource for tutoring sessions and vocabulary building.
