A bathroom item that begins with the letter V.

A vase!

A vase? No, that's not validated.

It's not a bathroom item at all.

Hello everyone.

Welcome to this new video to improve your French. Today, I am with two friends, Caroline and Bénédicte, and we are going to play a game together, you see, they have buzzers, to improve themselves, to improve their French vocabulary.

Before you start, remember to activate the subtitles if you need them to understand everything in the video and to remember all the vocabulary words that we will see together.

Today, we are going to play together the little tub. The little tub is a game that we often play when we are, when we are teenagers.

We often play this in class when we're a bit bored, yes, that's a bit of it, isn't it?

We often play this game at school or between classes, when we are a bit bored.

Here, we're going to play, we're going to play this together because it's a language game that requires thinking about vocabulary.

So, let me explain the rules of this game. I will give you a theme and a letter of the alphabet. You will have to buzz as fast as possible to give a word that starts with that letter in the theme.

For example, I will give the theme animals and I will say an animal that begins with the letter S.

SNAKE! I think you understand the rules.

So, we're going to play today in three sets.

In each round, the person who will win is the one who reaches five points.

And at the end of the three rounds, we'll see which one of Caroline or Benedicte has won the most rounds. If you want to play with us, don't hesitate to pause and think of other vocabulary words that Caroline or Benedicte could have said.

And you can put them in comments. That way, we all enrich our vocabulary, so don't hesitate, you can pause each time I give a theme and a letter.

Are you ready girls? All the way, on the gas!

I've got my little sheet, you don't cheat, you don't look. No, I promise, never.

So here we go for the first round.

Give me a sport that starts with the letter D.

Thank you very much for making this video. I hope you were able to learn some new vocabulary or at least review some vocabulary, but most importantly learn a game that you can also do at home.

You can play with friends, where you put a timer, so a stopwatch, and you write on a sheet of paper.

You write a lot of categories and at each turn, someone gives a letter and you have to write in the different categories and go as fast as possible to find a word for each category that starts with the letter.

So, you can make a category animals, a category trades, a category series, food and you give for example the letter B and it is the one who is the fastest to have filled all the boxes.

I hope you enjoyed this video, that you liked learning vocabulary through a game.
