Warm-Up (5 minutes) - **Greetings in French:** Start with a simple greeting in French, "Bonjour, les enfants!" and encourage them to reply, "Bonjour, Madame/Monsieur!" - **Introduction to the Lesson:** Explain that today they will learn about different games in French. Ask them briefly about their favorite games in English to create interest. ### 2. Vocabulary Introduction (10 minutes) - **Flashcard Activity:** Show flashcards one by one. Say the name of each game clearly and have students repeat the words after you. Use actions or miming to illustrate each game to help with understanding. - la marelle (hopscotch) - les échecs (chess) - le ballon (ball) - la corde à sauter (jump rope) - les cartes (cards) - **Repetition Game:** Display all cards and randomly point to them, having the students call out the name of the game. ### 3. Pronunciation Practice (5 minutes) - **Choral Reading:** Play audio clips (if available) or pronounce each word slowly and clearly, asking students to repeat after you in unison. - **Individual Practice:** Call on a few students individually to pronounce the names of the different games. ### 4. Interactive Story/Activity (10 minutes) - **Interactive Game:** Play a simple "Name the Game" activity. Describe a game or show a flashcard, and have students say the name in French. You can also incorporate physical activity by having them act out the game. - **Use of Ball:** If you have a ball, you can combine learning and physical activity by rolling or tossing the ball to each student. When a student catches the ball, they should name a game in French that they learned today before passing it on. ### 5.
