The one thing most modern day tweens and teens can’t live without is a cell phone. Motivate your French students by using cell phone conversations as a context for speaking in class. You will create quick and easy paper phones for fun and effective learning activities. Whether your students are 8 or 18, they will have a ball talking on their French paper téléphones ! “The Telephone Game” can be adapted to almost any unit or topic of conversation. It’s a fantastic motivator and the ideal way to review numbers from 0-99 at any point in the year. Here’s how you play:

1. After modeling a dialog, pass out a paper phone to every student. Each phone has a unique and authentic French telephone number.

2. In partners, your students will talk on their phones to practice the dialog of

your choice.

3. After sufficient practice, reach into a bowl where you have placed slips of paper with telephone numbers corresponding to the numbers on the student phones. Call out the numbers as you “dial.” When you are done, say “Brrring, brrring!” The student whose number you dialed must answer the phone and perform the dialogue for the class.

4. Next, that student may choose a number from the bowl and dial up a

classmate for another conversation. Continue for as many repetitions as you wish!

In this packet, you will find everything you need to teach your students how to talk on the phone and play “The Telephone Game”:

NUMBER GAMES Here are some fun activities for introducing, practicing, and reviewing numbers: Buzz In this counting game, students take turns counting consecutively from 1-100. But there's a catch! For every multiple of 5, players must say "Buzz" instead of the number. For an added challenge, play "Backwards Buzz" (counting down from 100) or choose a multiple other than 5. Mixed-Up Dot-to-Dots Take a traditional dot-to-dot picture, but change the numbers so that they are out of order. Either read or print the correct order of numbers. This activity will require students to comprehend numbers out of sequence (a real life skill) in order to complete the picture. The Price is Right Determine a secret price for a number of objects your students might shop for, such as CD’s, t-shirts, jewelry, or even a computer. Players guess the price in euros, following teacher clues of higher and lower.

Quatre Coins This fun counting game is usually reserved for gym class, but it can easily be adapted to classroom play with a "no running" ground rule. Blindfold one student who becomes the "Chooser." This person counts to ten while the rest of the class tiptoes to a corner of the classroom. Then the Chooser points to a corner. Everyone in that corner must return to his or her seat and help count from 11-20. Repeat the process, eliminate more players, and continue with the numbers 20-30, 30-40, etc. When just one player remains, you have a winner and the next Chooser. Fly Swatters Arrange number flashcards on the ground. Give two players flyswatters. Call off a number and determine the fastest “swatter.” Foreign Language House, Diane Farrug and Catherine Fortin, Copyright 2001-8

Concentration Small groups of students match cards with a number and a number word. When students find matches they are entitled to keep the cards and take another turn. See who can find the most matches. Dice Math Students roll dice and create oral or written math problems in the target language. Simply identify the number on the first die, and then add or multiply the number on the second die. Number Building When your students are masters at numbers up to 100, try really challenging them. Give them single-digit cards and call out numbers in the hundreds, thousands, or even higher. See who can be the first to arrange their cards in the correct order.

Le BasketballPlay this fun team competition game to practice identifying numbers out of sequence. Divide your class into two teams, and call up one player at a time to identify a number flashcard. If correct, the player earns one point for their team and the opportunity to throw a ball in a basket from the one-, two-, or three-point line for additional points. Encourage lots of cheering in the target language! Phone Book Have your students compile a class phone book by circulating around the room and asking their classmates, “Quel est ton numéro de téléphone?” Sept Everyone in the room stands and takes turns counting. Whenever a student says a number with a seven in it (7, 17, 27, etc.) that student must sit down. Last person debout (standing) wins! Loto Play standard bingo, or have students create their own cards with number words, math problems, or phone numbers. Template on the following page.

TELEPHONE CULTURE In France, telephone numbers are a series of five double-digit numbers (ten numbers in all.) The first set of numbers is the area code or l’indicatif. This number will indicate the region. The following numbering system has been in place since 1996:

01 Paris 02 Northwest France 03 Northeast France 04 Southeast France 05 Southwest France 06 Mobile phone services

Most phone booths in France no longer accept coins. Instead, most people use phone cards called télécartes. These cards have a microchip that keeps track of how much money you spend on a call. You can purchase a télécarte in a post office (la poste) or a tobaccionist shop (le tabac.) Insert the card into a public phone. A small screen shows you how many units the card contains. As you talk, the amount gets smaller and smaller. Télécartes are often decorated with advertisements. In fact, many French people collect the cards, and some are even valuable.

THE TELEPHONE GAME AUTHENTIC TELEPHONE NUMBERS

You will prepare a classroom set of paper phones, each assigned to an authentic French phone number. Print these numbers, cut them into strips, and draw them out of a cup, bowl, or bag as you play the Telephone Game. Use only the numbers you will need for your particular class. Just be sure that you prepare one phone to correspond to each number you choose. These are all real numbers from various cities in France. If you were to actually place a call, you would be connected to a restaurant. If you wish, you can turn them into cellular numbers by changing the first two numbers to 06.

THE TELEPHONE GAME

PAPER PHONES On the following page, you’ll find the template for your paper phones. There are two phones on each page, so if you have a class of 30, you will need to print off at least 15 copies. Regular paper works fine, but consider printing on card stock to extend the life of your phones. After you print your phones, fold the left and right sides back behind the center section. Cut the phones apart. Fold the phones in half again like a flip phone. On the screen of each phone, copy a telephone number from the master authentic numbers list. Make sure that each phone has a number that corresponds to a number that you will draw out of a bowl or bag.

SAMPLE CONVERSATIONS Now that you students have a phone, it’s time to play the Telephone Game. Prepare mini-dialogues for your class.

1. Drill the conversation line by line. 2. Students practice the conversation in partners. 3. Draw a phone number out of a hat and call a random, lucky student!

You can keep your phones and phone numbers in your classroom and pull them out whenever you want your students to do a dialog. The topics are as endless as your curriculum and creativity. Here are just a few samples: GENERAL CONVERSATIONS A: Allô? B: Allô. C’est . . . . à l’appareil. Ça va? A: Oui, ça va! Et toi? B: Moi, ça va . . . . .
