As family vocabulary is pretty straight-forward I decided to create a "mystery" activity and gave the students clues. In teams they then had to draw out the family tree based on the information.As an extension I asked to create their own family trees and clues. Alternatively you could send quick-finishers to support teams that have not yet finished.

The first sldie of the PowerPoint show some examples of family tress in case students are unsure. The second slide has the solution.

Examples of clues:

Kristell et Hervé ont divorcé.

Lou est la demi-sœur de Yann.

Yann est le demi-frère de Lise.

Yvon est le mari de Kristell.

Lise est la sœur d’Éric.

Il y a six enfants.

Anya est la fille de Kristell et Hervé.

Hervé s’est remarié avec Marie.

Yann a deux sœurs et deux demi-sœurs.

Watch out for red herrings!
