Instructions

Play the game

1. Everyone should stand on their own marker. The person leading the activity should explain that these are there to help everyone stay a safe distance apart – people shouldn’t leave their marker without asking first.

2. The person leading the activity should introduce the first few words and actions and everyone should practise them together.

3. Once everyone’s ready, the person leading the game should say a word in English. Everyone should say the word in French while doing the action. If anyone gets the word or action wrong they should sit down – they can still join in.

4. As the game goes on, the person leading the activity should keep calling out words in English. If everyone’s getting on really well, they should pause the game and add an extra word or two.

5. The last person standing up is the winner.
