My students really enjoyed this activity. They teasingly said "that was actually fun"! We stayed in French and they enjoyed the opportunity to personalize.

This activity is a BLAST! Students absolutely had a ball and it was a great stress-reliever on a dreary day, and the entire activity was in French to boot! MERCI!

This was a fun, comprehensible, and engaging no-prep activity for those long days before winter break. I appreciate the different options included with the activity, so I could personalize the activity to my class.

Very fun activity that my students loved and were very engaged with. They did not realize how much reading and comprehensible input they were actually getting in addition to a chance to express their creativity and just have some fun at the end of a long week of classes.

We had a blast with this!! It was hilarious to watch the students create the paper plate glyph. When they yelled it was too hard, I jumped it and had a student read while I drew the glyph. However everyone laughed once it was over and top 5 got prizes.
