French Alphabet and Number Online Speaking Activities!

Looking for some fun online speaking activities to do with your beginner French students for learning the alphabet and numbers?  Have students record their own voice to practice, using the online tools, Blabberize, Voki, and Vocaroo.  

With Blabberize, students can choose any photo, put a moving mouth on it, and add their voice to it to make it speak! With Voki, students create a speaking avatar, and with Vocaroo, students can record their own voice, or a conversation with a partner.  

This product comes with Blabberize and Voki models for students, instruction templates, and requirement checklists.  It also includes a student version, and teacher version for notes on the numbers 1-100 , and for the alphabet.  Finally, there is a written assessment that has a matching section for numbers, and a listening section for the alphabet.

Go to Liz's Lessons Blog to find out more, and check out the 
Blabberize and Voki examples!
