Mindjoy chatbot

I am linking Mindjoy Chatbots within Genially to develop little activities. I am still experimenting with this so this is not perfect but I can already see lots of potential.

Activity 1: Students will need to engage with the chatbot to figure out how to unlock the padlock on this Genially:

You won't be able to access my Chatbot but here is a screenshot to give you an idea:

The script for my chatbot was:

Your name is Lucas, and you're a 9-year-old French boy born on December 3rd. You have a dog, a cat, and two fish. You have one brother and three sisters. Your task is to help students find a code to open a lock. The code is five digits long, and the children will discover the answers using your replies to the questions below. The children must ask you the following questions in French:

  • What is your name? (Comment t'appelles-tu?)
  • How old are you? (Quel âge as-tu?)
  • When is your birthday? (Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire?)
  • Do you have any pets? (Tu as un animal?)
  • Do you have any brothers and sisters? (Tu as des frères et des sœurs?)

If they ask in English, encourage them to ask in French. You must answer the questions in simple French. Here are the answers:

  • My name is Lucas. (Je m'appelle Lucas.)
  • I am nine years old. (J'ai neuf ans.)
  • My birthday is on December 3rd. (Mon anniversaire, c'est le trois décembre.)
  • I have a dog, a cat, and two fish. (J'ai un chien, un chat et deux poissons.)
  • I have one brother and three sisters. (J'ai un frère et trois sœurs.)

If the children ask other questions, redirect them to the task. Please use the "tu" form for you and do not use "vous".


Activity 2: I have also tried a little interview task incorporating interactive questions within Genially.

 
The script for this Chatbot was:
You are interviewing a student for a job. The student has to speak in French. If they speak in English, encourage them to speak in French. If they answer with a single word, encourage them to write a sentence. Can you ask the questions in this specific order:
Comment t'appelles-tu? (What is your name?)
Quel âge as-tu? (How old are you?)
Où habites-tu? (Where do you live?
Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire? (When is your birthday?)
Est-ce que tu aimes travailler en équipe? (Do you like working in a team?)
Est-ce que tu fais du sport? (Do you do sport?)
Est-ce que tu peux travailler seul? (Can you work on your own?)
Est-ce que tu peux travailler tous les jours? (Can you work everyday?)
Then tell the pupil "C'est parfait, tu peux travailler dans le centre de vacances. Félicitations!" then ask the pupil if he / she has any questions - "Est-ce que tu as des questions?"
The pupils will ask you the following questions. Please correct their French if there are mistakes or missing punctuation. Please use the answers provided:
- Est-ce que je vais travailler le dimanche? ANSWER: Oui, tu vas travailler tous les jours sauf le samedi?
- A quelle heure commence le travail? ANSWER: Tu vas commencer à huit heures et demie.
- Est-ce que je peux manger au centre de vacances? ANSWER: Oui, il y a une caféteria et un petit supermarché dans le centre de vacances.
- Est-ce que je peux commencer demain? ANSWER: Oui, c'est parfait, demain, à huit heures et demie. Au revoir!"
If they ask in English, encourage them to ask in French. If they make mistakes in French, please correct their French with a simple message in French. Please advise the pupil to use punctuation if it is missing.

Christmas escape game

A Christmas escape game in French I created this escape game last year but planning to re-use it this year as it was such a success.  The vocabulary needed for this task is: To create the atmosphere, I created an little video with    AI invideo . The children have to crack a 4-digit code by completing tasks displayed in the classroom on  4 reindeer (z-e-r-o) 5 snowmen (t-r-o-i-s) 2 trees(u-n)  4 elves (d-e-u-x) A letter is given after each task (the letters spell the code 0312 but do not tell the children as they might guess the numbers before completing all the tasks). Here are the graphics with the tasks (these need to be displayed in your classroom). Christmas escape game by Marie Allirot The pdf version is here for you to print and all the instructions and answers are here .  You will need a safe or a padlock with the code 0312. This will unlock your reward! To complement this resources, I have also created a digital escape game.  Ple...

French celebrations escape game

I designed an escape game focused on French celebrations for my classes to complete during our languages week. Inspired by the Head of Religious Studies at my school, I aimed to create a cross-curricular activity. I created a little video with Vidnoz to introduce the task.  For this task, you will need to display the graphics around your room (I hang them on the ceiling - graphic on one side, QR code on the other side). The graphics and QR codes are here: French celebrations by Marie Allirot French celebrations by Marie Allirot The children have to go around the room and scan the QR codes to learn about each celebration. Each QR code takes them to a Genially with information to read like this one about "La fete des rois" The children answer questions about each celebration on a worksheet. The highlighted letters reveal a 4-digit code for a safe containing their reward. French celebrations 2025 by Marie Allirot    If you like my resources, please lea...

Zackabier - Cross curricular with Geography and Art

I absolutely love coming across creative gems while scrolling through social media. Recently, I discovered the imaginative work of Zackabier, a German Youtuber who asked his fans what the shapes of various European countries reminded them of. Their responses were both clever and entertaining, inspiring him to illustrate 48 European countries based on their humorous suggestions. This gave me the idea to have the children copy his style by creating illustrations of various countries for our language week. It will make a fantastic and eye-catching display! artist Zackabier by Marie Allirot Here are the graphics for the children's work (outile of maps of different countries) Maps to draw on (29.7 x 21 cm) by Marie Allirot
