Four Corners : Interactive French vocabulary games

Whether you teach Core French or French Immersion, brain breaks, and movement breaks are essential for every program and grade level. You have got to incorporate French Four Corners games into your French routines! Four Corners are interactive French vocabulary games that combine French vocabulary, movement, and interaction!

What is Four Corners?

Four Corners is a digital French game. You simply project a slide on your whiteboard. The slide has a question in the center. The slide is divided into four areas. Each area has a different potential answer.

Students see all of the potential answers and identify the one that resonates most with them.

They then get up and move to that corner.

Why are these interactive French vocabulary games awesome?

I LOVE these games for a bunch of reasons.

They are community-building French games

There’s this one in particular that I play with my students at the start of the school year or the new semester. My goal is for all of us to get to know each other more in a light-hearted manner.

Teach new French vocabulary or revise previously learned vocabulary

You can create games on any topic or theme you are learning in class. For example, if you are teaching a French food unit, you can introduce new vocabulary with a Food-themed four corners game.

Who can play these interactive French vocabulary games?

These games are ideal for middle or high school-aged students in Core French and/or French Immersion. Since there is visual support, beginner French students can for sure play these games.

Let’s dive into some potential themes

I spent several weekends creating these French vocabulary games for my classes. If you do not have the time or resources to do so, these are available for purchase in my TPT.

You are absolutely welcome to create your own!

Here are the themes I’ve created

La rentrée scolaire

Some of the questions are basic get-to-know-yous like “quelle est ta collation préférée?” and others are questions that will and should result in a class discussion like “what are the qualities of a good teacher” or “how do you feel about homework”.

I chose these types of questions because I truly believe that a classroom community requires transparency and communication.

If you teach intermediates, this is an ideal French vocabulary game for revision at the start of a new school year.

Les animaux + le comparatif

The theme of this French Four Corners game is  les animaux!

 This French game is the perfect way to review or learn about animals in French and get comfortable with the French comparative words of  PLUS  and  MOINS .

French Hobbies, Pastimes, Activities Four Corners Game

The theme of this French Four Corners game is  les passe-temps, les loisirs, les sports, et plus.   !  

This French game   is the perfect way to review or learn or learn about vocabulary related to French hobbies, pastimes, sports, and more. 

French Food Four Corners Game – La NOURRITURE

French summer-themed four corners game.

In this game, students will learn and/or review French summer and vacation vocabulary.

This game is great for French vacation units!

If new documents are correctly set to English, you have successfully changed the default language.

However, existing documents must be dealt with one by one. In a problem document, try modifying the language of the Normal style.

Click Ctrl+Shift+S to display the Apply Styles pane. If necessary, type Normal in the "Style name" box and click Modify. Click the Format drop down and then click Language. Choose your preferred flavor of English and confirm the new settings with OK.

It may still be necessary to (re-)apply English to selected text. Select all in the document, for example by pressing Ctrl+A, and then open the Language dialog box (Review > Language > Set Proofing Language). In the dialog box, choose the desired language. Confirm the settings with OK (that is, do not click Set As Default).

Change the language Office uses in its menus and proofing tools

There are three areas in Microsoft Office where you may want to change the language.

Editing or Authoring is the language in which you write and edit your content. You may need to install an associated keyboard for this language via Windows settings.

Proofing tools are spelling and grammar check. Typically, you'll set this language to be the same as the editing or authoring language.

Display language is for all the buttons, menus, and controls in Office.

You can set the display and editing or authoring languages independently from each other. For example, you may want the display language to be English, but the document you're writing or editing is in French.

Note:  If you want to completely change Office, permanently, to a different language you'll get the best results if you first set that to be your default display language in Windows as well. For more information on doing that see this article for Windows 10 or this article for Windows 7 or 8 .

Configure Office language for newer Office versions

Tip:  To prevent having to manually configure the proofing language with each new document in Word, switch on the option to detect the language you're writing. On the Review tab, go to Language . Choose Language > Set Proofing Language , and then select Detect language automatically .

Note:   If you're using Office 365 and the commands available are different from what's shown here, expand the Configure Office language for Office 2016 or earlier section and follow the instructions there.

In Office, the language options are in the Office Language Preferences dialog box. The display and authoring languages can be set independently. For example, you could have everything match the language of your operating system, or you could use a combination of languages for your operating system, authoring, and display.

To configure the display language:

Within any Office application, select File > Options > Language .

Select the language you want, and then select Set as Preferred . If you want your Office display language to match the display language you have for Windows, select Match Microsoft Windows [Language] .

If the language you want is not listed, select Install additional display languages from Office.com and follow the instructions there.

To configure the authoring and proofing language:

If the language you want appears in the list, select it, and then select Set as Preferred . If the language you want is not listed, select Add a language , and then follow the instructions in the Add an authoring language dialog box.

If the language accessory pack includes proofing tools for that language, its status appears as  Proofing installed . If the status is Proofing available , click the link to install the proofing tools.

Configure Office language for Office 2016 or earlier

In Office, the language options are in the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box. The display and help languages can be set independently. For example, you could have everything match the language of your operating system, or you could use a combination of languages for your operating system, editing, display, and Help.

To configure the editing and proofing language:

If your language already appears among the editing languages press Set as Default . Otherwise select the language from the Add additional editing languages list then press the Add button. The new language will appear in the list of editing languages.

If the Keyboard Layout shows as Enabled , you're all set for editing. If it says Not enabled in the Keyboard Layout column follow these steps to enable it:

Click the Not enabled link.

In the Add Languages dialog box, press Add a language , select your language in the list, and then press Add .

Close the Add Languages dialog box. Your language should display as Enabled under Keyboard Layout in the Choose Editing Languages section.

Under Proofing , if your language shows as Installed , you're ready to go. Otherwise press Not installed and Office will take you to a page where you can download the necessary Language Accessory Pack for that language. Follow the instructions on that page to download and install the pack, then come back to the Office Language Preferences dialog box to confirm that it's now installed.

To configure the display and help languages:

If you've already set your Microsoft Windows display language to be the language you want Office to display in you can leave this set to Match Microsoft Windows . Otherwise select your language and press Set as Default to move that language to the top of the list. The language that is listed first is the one Office will use for its menus and buttons. Please note, if your Windows display language is not also installed in Office, your Office display language will appear in the next language in the display list.

Repeat to configure your help language if you want to.

If the language you want isn't available...

Download the proper Language Accessory Pack for the language you want to use from this page: Language Accessory Pack for Office . The Language Accessory Pack contains the display and proofing tools for most languages, but you can still choose to have your display in one language and editing or authoring in another.

Microsoft Office for Mac already contains all of the available languages, so there's nothing to download. To configure Office to use those languages follow these steps:

User Interface - The display language for Office for Mac uses the primary language set for operating system. To change the display language for Office for Mac, you need to set a different primary language for your operating system:

On the  Apple menu, choose  System Preferences > Language & Region

In the Preferred Languages list, set the desired language to be your primary language by dragging it to the top of the list.

If the language you want doesn't appear just press the + sign and add it.

You'll have to restart your Office application for this change to take effect.

Editing - Setting the editing language depends on the program you're working in.

User Interface - The best way to set the display language in Office for the web is to set the language in the host where your documents live. That's usually OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, etc. When you open a document from one of those sites, Office Online will use the display language you have that service set to.

Tip:  If you're using a personal Microsoft account, you can choose your preferred display language in your profile settings at https://account.microsoft.com/profile .

Change views on OneDrive (Scroll to the bottom for language settings)

Set your language in SharePoint . If you're using SharePoint, and want a language other than your system language, you'll want to be sure to select a SharePoint language.

Change your language settings in Dropbox

To set the proofing tools language in your app go to the  Review  tab > Spelling & Grammar > Set Proofing Language . In OneNote for the web this is found on the Home tab.
