Description
Locks in Agreements is a bingo-style game for fourth-grade elementary school students that focuses on learning four rules for forming plurals and feminine forms. Players identify and use these rules to help Florentin and his friends navigate the locks by boat and reach the Caribbean Sea. Two ways to play are available: one in a class group and one with 2 to 4 players.
The game includes 4 game boards, 30 reproducible bingo cards as well as 80 word cards which are singular masculine nouns or adjectives which form their plural or feminine according to the following rules:
Formation of the plural
Adding an x to words ending in au, eau, eu and to certain nouns ending in ou.
The replacement of the ending with aux for most words ending in al, as well as some words ending in ail.
Formation of the feminine
Adding an e to the end of the masculine word.
The replacement of the final (i)er by (i)ère, eau by elle, eur and eux by euse, teur by trice.
Throughout the game, players can refer to the cheat sheet, which explicitly presents the four rules with examples. The game also includes an answer key that allows players to validate their answers independently.
