Lesson 5: French food chain flips

Divide the class in half and explain that you will show some slides of animals.

There are three points to be earned for each slide:

• One point for the name of the animal. The children can use the direct or indirect object: le, la, l' or un, une.
• ). The animals shown are: un/le lapin, un/le chat, un/l'oiseau, une/la girafe.
• One point for saying whether the animal is a carnivore, a herbivore, or omnivore, using the structure [animal] est un [carnivore][herbivore][omnivore]; the children can use the direct or indirect object (le, la, l' or un, une).

• One point for giving a sentence to say either what the animal eats or what a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore eats.

For example:

un/le chat - a/the cat (1 point)

un/le chat est un carnivore - a/the cat is a carnivore (1 point)

le chat mange l'oiseau - the cat eats the bird (1 point)

un carnivore mange les animaux - a carnivore eats animals (1 point)

You could offer a bonus point for saying where the animal lives, using the structure, [animal] habite dans [habitat].
