Resources:
Copies of Happy Families game need to be printed out and cut up, one set for each group/table. (You may find it useful to laminate the cards for future use) // As-tu + la mère Flinstone? // (or appropriate surname) // As-tu + le père Flinstone? // (or appropriate surname) // As-tu + le frère Flinstone? // (or appropriate surname) // As-tu + la soeur Flinstone? // (or appropriate surname) <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px;">//Teachers note: Happy families is played by shuffling cards and distributing them evenly between a group of no more than 5 players. Players are competing to be the first to collect a complete 'family' of mum, dad, brother and sister. Alternatively they might compete to collect the most families depending on time available. Youngest player starts and decides which card(s) he needs to complete a family. He then asks any player for a particular card that he wants to collect (see language above). If that player has the card they MUST hand it over and the 1st player has another go and so on. If the player does NOT have the card they must say 'non' and it is their turn to ask any player for a card that they need to complete/make a set.// || * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px;">Happy Families Cards<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px;"> || <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px;">// (Teachers note: The worksheet is differentiated and some may get onto completing the crossword and will need to remember how to spell the words so make sure this vocabulary is not visible to the whole class, only those who need the support) Links to L4.3 // ||  || ||
