One of the possible game scenarios: The domino cards should be shuffled and dealt to the participants of the game. The game begins with the player holding the card with a drawing chronologically showing the earliest morning activity. The other players add their dominoes one by one in such a way that the verbal notation corresponds to the drawing and read aloud sentences in the present, past or future tense, arranged using the infinitives given in parentheses (an additional variant of the game is inflating the verbs given in infinitives by selected persons and times). The winner is the player who correctly uses all the verbs in the dominoes he adds and is the first to get rid of his domino cards. In turn, the last person to be left with the card loses.
Language goals: correct use of the most frequently used tenses, learning French vocabulary related to everyday activities.
