VOCARULES
The objective is to review the concepts and vocabulary covered in class and to encourage students to speak. The students have two dice, but they can also use only one die. If you are playing with a paper version, each player (or each team) also has tokens of the team’s colour that he/she can place on the squares once their answer has been validated by the designated game master (or by the teacher). If you are projecting the game on a board in class, you do not use any tokens, you can simply agree on a code to be written on the validated square (a circle for one team, a cross for the other team, etc.). Each player or team throws the two dice in turn: the first die thrown corresponds to a line, the second die thrown corresponds to a column. The selected square is therefore at the intersection. Of course, you can use only one die that you roll twice ... The teams/players must make an oral statement in relation to the illustration on the selected square. If the production is validated, the team/player is allowed to place a token on the square. Otherwise, the hand passes and either the other team proposes something for the same square or the other team rolls the dice. The winner is the one who has placed the most tokens of his or her colour on the board, either after a limited time (15-20 minutes), or when all the squares are covered with a token, or when it comes to 3, 4 or 5 tokens, you decide! You can imagine all sorts of rules, depending on the level of the students, the size of the group, the objectives. We can also provide a board and 2 dice per team and let the students develop their own rules of the game.Credits: all icons from http://www.thenounproject.com
