I have made one for AS and one for Spanish GCSE, but clearly it would lend itself to any year group and topic.

Yesterday I was very excited by the arrival of my new set of dice (to be fair, I'm easily amused but they're so colourful). I had two goals in planning time today - to use my dice and to ensure I got my year 12 talking more. The result is this dice speaking game. The idea is students role two dice (my pretty new ones match the colours across the top and the side) to get a co-ordinate. They then have to talk about whatever topic is shown in order to win that square and place one of their counters on it. Students are competing to place 3 counters in a row. If a second player rolls a coordinate that has already been taken, they can knock the counter and claim the square as their own. Year 12 were really engaged by the task, but most importantly spoke lengthy amounts of German for the whole lesson. We never got a winner by the time we packed up, as they kept knocking each other off but it didn't really matter! I took it to be a good sign that they were amazed when I told them it was pack up time and asked if they could play again on Monday.
