Get your students practicing the conjugations of stem-changing verbs in the present tense in Spanish with this fun, low-prep dice activity! Although this resource is aimed at practicing the present tense, it could be used at all levels simply by instructing students to use a different tense! All you need is copies of the game sheet and one or two dice for each group.

This activity can be done individually, in pairs, or in small groups and it's a great way to fill a few extra minutes when your lesson ends early or on days with irregular schedules (like standardized test days, pep rallies, early releases, etc). This is also a great learning station activity. My students love playing the dice game and I'm sure yours will too!

This bundled resource includes 2 versions of each activity, each with 6 different stem-changing verbs. Each of the three resources included in this bundle include:

• Version 1 (page 4) with six subjects, six verbs, and twelve lines for writing out sentences.
• Version 2 (page 5) with the same six subjects and six verbs as version one without space to write. This version is great to print on colored cardstock and laminate for the future. Two copies of the activity are on each page in version 2.

The verbs practiced are:

pedir, repetir, servir, medir, corregir, elegir, empezar, entender, querer, preferir, cerrar, mentir, dormir, volver, almorzar, poder, mover, and contar.

Do your students struggle with the conjugating verbs in the present tense? Then this amazing fairy tale activity is just what you've been looking for! This awesome resource with the classic story of Cenicienta is an easy-to-use and low-prep way to practice the present tense, along with reading comprehension skills.

Students love these stories because they are stories that they are already familiar with, making them more comprehensible, turning this dry and boring grammar topic into something engaging and fun! Click here to save 20% by purchasing this in a bundle with two other stories or save 25% on a bundle with five other stories!

The familiar story of Cenicienta is a perfect way to practice and assess your students’ knowledge of the present tense in Spanish with easy differentiation.

This file includes two versions of the same story:

• Version A has the verbs already conjugated, and the students must choose between two different forms of the verb.
• Version A also includes true/false comprehension questions and students must correct the false statements.
• Version B includes only the infinitive, so they must fill in the blank with the correct present tense form of the verb.
• Version B also includes comprehension questions to be answered in complete sentences in Spanish.

Both versions of the story are two pages long including the comprehension questions. The two different versions make differentiation simple!

Also included in this download is:

• a mini pictorial vocabulary list in color and black and white
• an eight-slide mini-PowerPoint (great for pre-teaching key vocabulary)
• a blank six-box storyboard (great for students to illustrate their comprehension of the story or summarize the story in six parts)
• answer keys for the stories AND the comprehension questions

All of these great resources are included as a zipped file. Make sure to download the preview to see everything included!

The stories include regular verbs, stem-changing verbs, and irregular verbs (ir, ser, estar, tener, “yo-go” verbs, etc).

This story would make a great emergency sub plan (2 days’ worth of material), homework assignment, or formative assessment. These stories are great for the end of Spanish 1 or as a review of the present tense in Spanish 2.

Classroom management in a middle school Core French classroom can be dicey! That's why I engage my students as much as possible to keep em' on their toes! Prof du jour is a part of my everyday routine, where a different student each day is given the opportunity to lead the discussions with their peers and to give them confidence in French. Sit back and watch the magic!

This isn't just a run-of-the-mill calendar! My Prof du jour is at the command desk and interacts with their peers and the Google Slides. Here are some activities that my Grades 4, 5 and 6 students actively use found in this document:

• Complete Calendar (drag & drop icons) for SEPTEMBER 2024 - JUNE 2025.

• Weather, time of day, days of the week, and terms like "yesterday," "today," and "tomorrow."

• Two versions available: One has the Sunday start and another has the Monday start, depending on how you prefer to view your calendar with your students.

• A Wheel Decide question prompter (which you can edit by removing or adding questions your students are working on).

• An "I SPY" prompter (a favorite in ALL of my classes).

• A "GUESS WHO?" prompter.

• A Franco DJ Music activity (great for explaining why they like/dislike something with sentence starters).

In addition to the calendar: This resource provides 27 fresh and fun ideas that can be easily incorporated into your lessons, designed to give students the opportunity to step into the role of "Prof du jour" and lead their peers in interactive activities.

These activities are perfect for students in Grades 4 to 8 and will foster an engaging, positive classroom atmosphere where students feel comfortable practicing their French language skills. Whether you want to boost participation, improve active listening, or simply add some energy to your class, these ideas are versatile and adaptable to different classroom dynamics. With no prep required, they can be used spontaneously to keep students on their toes and excited to take part.

How This Resource Benefits Your Classroom:

• Student-Led Learning: Gives students the opportunity to take ownership of their learning by stepping into the "Prof du jour" role, building leadership skills and confidence.
• Encourages Speaking & Participation: Each activity is designed to maximize speaking opportunities, ensuring every student gets a chance to practice conversational French in a supportive environment.
• Promotes Active Listening: Activities challenge students to listen closely to their peers, reinforcing vocabulary, comprehension, and communication skills.
• Engaging & Fun: The activities use a mix of movement, music, games, and questions to keep students engaged and motivated to participate.
• No Prep Required: All activities are spontaneous and flexible, allowing you to use them anytime without prior preparation.
• Supports a Judgment-Free Environment: By allowing students to lead, the classroom becomes a space where students feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from one another without pressure.

What’s Included:

In addition to your yearly calendar with interactive daily slides, this resource provides a list of 30 easy-to-implement activities, including:

• Question & Answer Games (e.g., "Would You Rather?" or "Rapid Fire") that encourage quick thinking and verbal responses in French.
• Movement-Based Activities (e.g., "Jacques a dit" or "Stand If…") that combine physical activity with language practice, making learning active and engaging.

This is a fun review game to play with your Spanish students. I designed this game using regular –er and -ir verbs, as well as ir, ser, hacer, querer, decir, estar, and stem-changing -ir verbs, all in the preterite. This game can be played in centers, or you can print enough for the whole class to play in groups. The game includes:

• 48 cards
• two options for the game board
• an answer key.

Directions:

1. Determine who will play first.
2. The first player draws a card and must conjugate the verb in parentheses. If the conjugation is correct, the player spins and moves the indicated number of spaces. If it is incorrect, the player does not move.
3. The next player draws a card, and play continues.
4. If the player lands on “pierda su turno”, they lose their next turn.
5. If the player lands on “turno extra”, they get an extra turn.
6. Play continues until the first player reaches “el fin”.

French 20 questions games - Small group or whole class no prep activities

The game of 20 questions is a fun and effective way to practice forming French questions and in these 5 versions of the game, students will learn over 250 nouns that go beyond what they learn from a textbook chapter theme or every day classroom vocabulary.

Included:

5 versions with vocabulary written in French and English

5 versions with vocabulary written in French only

➯ This resource is included in my Ça y est, je parle français! French 1 curriculum bundle!

Have students work in small groups of 2-4 or project the version of the game that you want to use and do a whole class activity.

Each version includes 52 words. Many of the words will be new to your students as this game is meant not only to practice forming questions, but also to build vocabulary. I like to allow my students to look at the game chart while they play until they’re somewhat familiar with the words. After they've played the games a few times looking at the French-English version they feel more prepared to move on to the French only version.

One student in the small group or class chooses a word on the chart. Other students ask up to 20 questions trying to guess the secret word.

EST-CE QUE…….

… tu es une personne?

… tu es un animal?

… tu es un minéral?

… tu es un endroit?

… tu es un aliment?

… tu es une plante?

… tu es un objet?

The student who has chosen the secret word can answer using the following responses: OUI - NON - PARFOIS - RAREMENT - GÉNÉRALEMENT - PEUT-ÊTRE - CELA DÉPEND - PROBABLEMENT

Alternative game play:

To change up the game and to make it more challenging as well as practicing other skills, have the student who chooses the secret word describe it to others in the group. Instead of asking questions about the secret word, other students listen to the description and guess it.
