- Quick on the draw Pupils form two teams on either side of the room. The first child in each team has a ‘shoot-out’, with you calling out a phrase with pronoun + ‘er’ verb (for example, ‘he eats’). The pupil who calls out the correct French translation first (in this case, il mange), stays in the game and goes to the back of their line. The other pupil sits out. Play continues until one team runs out of players.
