Description

Looking for a simple, engaging  game that students can play this Halloween to practice associations between words and their beginning letters? Youpi! La lettre initiale will provide your students with tons of fun practice for this skill!

You can use this game during small group time, but it also includes “I Can” cards in French so that students can easily play independently in partners or groups as a centre.

 

How to play:

  • Print, cut out, and laminate all sets of playing cards for desired number of groups (you can use all the letters, or just practice the letters you have taught and add more as the year progresses)
  • Place each type of card (ghost cards and Halloween character cards) in a separate small zip lock bag, and then place both small bags in either a big zip lock or a container.
  • The Halloween character cards go in a pile, face-down. Each student will take 5 ghost cards and lay them down face-up in a row. They can put the remaining ghost cards aside until the next round.
  • One at a time, students draw a Halloween character card and say the name of the object the Halloween character is thinking of out loud (saying it out loud is important and really helps them identify that beginning letter!). If they have the corresponding initial letter on a ghost card, they say “Youpi!” and flip it over in their row.
  • The first student to flip over all 5 cards is the winner! Students can then each draw 5 more ghost cards and restart the draw deck.

 

Please note that all letters have four corresponding beginning letter cards. However, some letters are impossible to have four separate images in French! In those cases (Uu, Ww, Xx), 1-2 images are repeated four times. This is to ensure that if two students are looking for something that begins with Xx, for example, they will still have a chance to win even if one partner finds the xylophone first.

For Ee, I have chosen two words that begin with Ee and two that begin with Éé. I have included cards for both; you can decide if you want to use them both or just Ee.

This version of Youpi! is « Halloween »-themed.
