From chapter 10 (Guided Oral Input) of the book Stepping Stones Year One and Beyond by Tina Hargaden. Basically after a few days of various card talks, we play the "Mysterious Person Game" to just recycle all the information they heard about in the last days about themselves and their classmates. I was looking at the cards they drew about their likes and dislikes and saying sentences in French about it. Then the students had to guess who I was talking about. If you don't have a kid grid, here is where you could start one. I already had it, so I used it sometimes as a visual aid.
We then moved on to the Kid Grid Mini-Jeopardy game which is similar, but you add random points on top of each category of the kid grid. Instead of calling out the student's name, I asked them to spell it for an extra challenge and bonus points if they said it correctly and in perfect unison!
