FAQ

You can use LES MOTS DU CLIC with everyone from 6 years old! The word cards are divided into 6 categories and divided according to 3 levels of linguistic difficulty. You can therefore sort before the start of the game in order to adapt the cards according to the age and language level of your players.
The different categories of cards are organized according to the following types of words: nouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, etc. These words allow you, at the end of the game, to write a sentence.
As for the type of players, Stimultania regularly organizes games with children from kindergarten to post-baccalaureate level but also with people in prison or in medical-social or socio-cultural centers, in training centers, EHPADs, reception and support structures for allophone people, new arrivals or refugees or even in hospital structures.

The choice of photography is crucial for a game. The photographs can come from a newspaper, a book or an exhibition for example. The images chosen must allow for rich and complex discussions. We therefore advise you to turn to images produced by artist-authors.
To meet this need, Stimultania regularly designs thematic materials: sets of ready-to-use photographs which allow you to use LES MOTDS DU CLIC and debate social issues. In 2024, there are 4 thematic supports “The body: Between representations and feelings”, “Relationships, dreams and memories”, “Work” and “Sport”.

The LES MOTS DU CLIC game was designed and developed for photography. The vocabulary of the game is therefore adapted to this medium. However, it is possible that word cards and blank cards allow you to work from other mediums and artistic practices. The game LES MOTS DU CLIC adapts and transforms according to the needs of its players.

A group of LES MOTS DU CLIC players can number between 2 and 7 people. However, you can definitely decide to have several groups play in parallel and in this case the number of participants will depend on the number of games you have available.

The game lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour. Indeed, it is possible to reduce the time depending on the game methods offered. Thus, the facilitator can decide to remove certain categories of cards or even remove word cards based on the language level stickers. He may also decide to pay particular attention to the writing phase of the text and therefore to devote more time to it. If several groups play in parallel, it is also important to allow sufficient time for a joint restitution.

On the back of the word cards in the LES MOTS DU CLIC game, dots indicate the players' language level.
1 tablet: corresponds to level A1-A2
2 tablets: corresponds to B1 – B2
3 pellets: corresponds to a person with a fluent level of French
If you are playing with people with a beginner level of French, you can decide to only use level A1-A2 cards. The language levels have been validated by French as a Foreign Language teachers. You may need to sort things differently if the audience you are playing with is faced with conceptualization issues (e.g. people with cognitive disabilities).

Of course ! As long as reflection remains free and open and everyone can express themselves without constraint or judgment!

Yes ! It will then be necessary for people with a higher level of French to support people with a lower level of French. The game LES MOTS DU CLIC is based on discussion and debate: as long as kindness remains the order of the day and everyone can express themselves, the mix of language levels can only be beneficial. Be careful, however, not to put a participant in difficulty, a person with a level of French A1-A2 may quickly become closed off and not feel justified in speaking if the group around them does not give them the opportunity to express themselves.
