Ask the children to work in their table groups. Each person on the table takes it in turns to use the picture prompts to order a meal. They should order at least one thing to eat and one drink and should add 'please' at the end.
Model how the children should create their sentences:
Je voudrais [ ] et [ ], s'il vous plaît - I would like [ ] and [ ], please.
Je voudrais [ ], [ ] et [ ], s'il vous plaît - I would like [ ], [ ] and [ ], please.
While the children are taking turns to make their sentences, circulate around the class to support with pronunciation. When everyone has had a chance to create a sentence, invite one person from each table group to say their sentence to the class.
