Jeux KLOO Play & Learn French - Thèmes des gens, de la nourriture et de la boisson (Double Deck)

Great travel companion. Played these with out teenagers on the Eurostar to Paris. They were good fun, passed the time and we all improved our vocabulary.

A must for language teachers. As a languages teacher, it can sometimes be hard to motivate students to enjoy languages, KLOO is a different way for my classes to learn French in a fun way. My low ability year 9 class love it; as a class where half the students are absolute beginners, KLOO is incredibly inclusive. The cards are colour coded for verbs, nouns, adjectives etc, so without knowing it the students are improving not only their french grammar but their english too and the unknown vocab is also translated on the bottom of a different card. My students love this game and I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn french, whether it be in a classroom or at home!

I am a French teacher and this game has worked well my beginning students. We have been using decks 1 & 2 (people and food). It's a great way to practice sentence structure and the students enjoy the competition. They say that it is fun and "painless". Even my less motivated students get into the game and like the fact that they can use the clue words on the bottom of the cards to figure out the new / unknown words. They have even started to "steal" words for points when their classmates falter in their translations. This has added even more competition as the students must really be prepared and quickly translate. Many have become more vigilant and make good use of the resource of the word bank they create from the bottom clue words. I have noticed an improvement in the students's writing since working with the Kloo decks. Their sentences have become more detailed and they are better with adjective placement and agreement.
Fun with grammar!. I am looking forward to the addition of more tenses and I would like to see more connectives such as relative pronouns (qui, que, dont & où) and transitional words (d'abord, ensuite, puis, etc) that you can never practice enough.

Kloo French reviewI saw Kloo mentioned on FaceBook and had a look online to find more information. I found lots of excellent reviews and decided that for such a reasonable price it was worth the gamble. I am so glad that I took a chance as it is even better than I had hoped.
We have the French Deck 1 and 2 pack and have played it with ages 4 – 80. The 4 year old needed adult help but the colour coding made it very easy for them to join in and they picked up some words and had fun. We had a 60 year old who had never learned French before who was able to play straight away, learned lots of new words and had great fun. The pronunciation guides are an invaluable tool and allow you to check that you are saying things correctly.
The 80 year old with experience of French found the game very engaging and fun. The children thought it was great that they could beat the adults!
It is a quick game to play and this ensures that no one gets bored. The children are always asking to play and this means that the vocabulary is sticking. The competitive element also means that they are keen to learn the words and pay attention to the cards! They also enjoyed keeping score (so great for maths) – I may get them to do this in French too!
We are looking forward to learning some of the other games (there are 16 in total!).
The fact that you can add future tenses (downloading them for free) and add your own cards means that the game can expand as your knowledge of the language grows.
My children want to get the Spanish set too and wish that it also came in German and Latin!

Great Christmas present. Bought this as a bit of fun for my partner who is learning french.
