Less than $5 8th Grade French Games (by date, oldest first)

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.
• Memory & Listening Challenges (e.g., "True or False" or "What's Missing?") that help students sharpen their listening skills while reinforcing key vocabulary and phrases.
• Vocabulary Boosters (e.g., "Category Challenge" or "French Word of the Day") that encourage students to think creatively and expand their language knowledge.
• Visual & Creative Tasks (e.g., "Quick Draw" or "Pictionary") that blend art and language, offering a break from traditional speaking activities while still reinforcing comprehension.

Why Teachers Will Love It:

• Flexible & Adaptable: Each activity can be adapted to suit your classroom’s needs, whether you're working with beginners or more advanced learners.
• Encourages Positive Risk-Taking: By giving students the chance to lead, this resource helps them become more comfortable with speaking French in front of their peers, promoting a positive learning environment.
• Sparks Joy in Learning: These activities add an element of fun to your Core French lessons, breaking up the routine and keeping students engaged and excited to participate.
• Great for Class Warm-Ups or Wrap-Ups: Use these quick, easy activities at the beginning or end of class to energize your students or reinforce what they’ve learned.
• Perfect for All Levels: Whether you're teaching a class of beginners or more experienced students, the activities can be adjusted to suit various language proficiencies.

How to Use:

Simply choose an activity, explain it briefly to the "Prof du jour," and let them take the lead. Each activity is designed to be intuitive and easy to facilitate, so even without notice, the student leader can jump into their role confidently. You can rotate the "Prof du jour" daily or weekly, giving every student the opportunity to shine and grow in their speaking abilities.

My (very) low-level middle-schoolers love learning about niche objects and concepts in Core French. I use their interests and personalities to create engaging projects that meet the outcomes. I actively use this particular project with grades 4, 5 and 6 but it could easily be used in a grade 7 or even grade 8 classrooms. If you use Pearson's Échos Pros, this works AMAZINGLY alongside "Ah oui, j'aime ça!"

This 30+ page project will prompt your discussions and activities and will provide your students with engaging, highly visual, clear and simple instructions and examples. My products are not babyish -- this is the main reason I started creating products.

You will find:

• A pre-created WheelDecide game on Bento Box food to practice the sentence structures ("Qu'est-ce que tu apporterais dans ta boîte bento?" "Dans ma boîte bento, j'apporterais...")
• A kinesthetic game: "Qu'est-ce que tu as dans ton sac à lunch?"
• 4 visual lunch bag examples for students to practice the sentence structure ("Qu'est-ce que tu as dans ton sac à lunch?" "Dans mon sac à lunch j'ai...")
• Lunch bag vocabulary - En français with images.
• 2 "Messages du jour" - with prompts for mots amis and mots familiers.
• 2 slides for explaining why we like or dislike with sentence starters.
• Criteria for final project with two options (Drawing or Collage using flyers).

My products consistently grow. Anytime I create a new activity, I modify this document so that it is always up-to-date and complete.

Enjoy!

Boost your students' vocabulary surrounding Fall and Halloween with this Make-Your-Own Bingo activity suitable for all ages and all levels of French.

This activity is a great way to have your students create their own bingo cards and then to play with them. It comes with many versions depending on your Core French groups.

1. Two versions, one with instructions in English and one with instructions in French, which prompt your students to color, cut and paste to create their bingo card.
2. Two versions, one with instructions in English and one with instructions in French, which prompt your students to create their own illustrations, cut and paste to their bingo card.

Choose the version applicable to your students' level and then they'll cut out their squares and paste them to their bingo card. Take this to the next level by laminating their cards so that they can use a dry-erase marker as a bingo dabber!

This comes with the call-out cards.

Enjoy!

This is a freebie for you!

This game of "Four Corners" is not new or unique; however, this one will work great for your middle schoolers who need to get up and move, and you'll find they are more apt to share without raising their hands or writing it down. This quick and easy, no prep and no printing activity will allow you to truly get to know them on a personal level very quickly.

It's HIGHLY visual so this could even fly in a Core French classroom (Grades 5 - 9); however, I use it in an immersion setting (Grades 5 and 6). It could comfortably be used in any Immersion or French first-language classroom (Grades 3 - 9). As with all of my products, it's not at all babyish and doesn't feature fonts that are frilly or hard-to-read.

For this activity, simply project and GO. I let my students know that they will have to choose their response and move to the corner of the room that suits their answer. You can either click through the slides, have a student touch your SmartBoard to move them along, or you can use a remote clicker or mouse (I do while I'm playing!) to keep the slides rolling.

This Google Slide Deck features :

• 29 pre-created, non-modifiable question slides with 4 options to choose from.
• A template for you to use if you'd like to add in your own questions at the end of the presentation.

Other ways to play:

• I've also allowed students independently to each create a slide and add it into the mix on day 2! Should you choose this option, simply copy the last slide into a Google Slide (11" x 8.5") and share a copy to each student in Google Classroom. Let the magic begin!
• You can choose to extend this activity by having your students huddled in their corners chat about their preferences, or share with the whole group. You can also (I do!!) play WITH them and get to know your students based on these small conversations in the "corners" of your classroom.

I hope you have a G R E A T back-to-school, and hope your kids love you! I sure appreciate all of you!

Don't forget to have fun and be real!

✮ Role play or skit situation cards for French, Spanish or any language class ✮

This is a set of 12 situation or skit cards that your students can use to practice making conversation in French, Spanish or any other language. Students work in pairs and read the situations they are to talk about. Each card includes a situation and suggestions as to what kind of information they should include. All of the cards are written in English, and students adapt by speaking in the target language.

I like to have my students write out the information asked for on each card. Once they have the basics covered they can then take turns being the one asking questions and the one providing answers.

These role play cards are an excellent way to practice conversation when you don't exactly know what the other person is going to say in response. Excellent resource for private tutoring sessions for students who have a hard time with oral production.

✮ Role play or skit situation cards for French, Spanish or any language class ✮

Everyone loves a good game of BATTLESHIP, and the French classroom is a better place than any! You can use this classic game format to practice forming the PASSÉ COMPOSÉ using AVOIR as helping verb with regular verbs.

*There is not an answer key included with this resource due to the number of responses possible. I encourage you to allow your students to use a resource that you choose for them to check your answers.

.

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

This resource includes 5 versions of the game with both black and white and color copies and instructions on how to play.

All battleship games are also sold separately for $4 each. Check out my collection of BATAILLE NAVALE games!

Just print out one page of the version you want to use per student. Students place boats (which are squares on the game sheets that they will have darkened with a pencil) on the game board. Students play against each other to try to find and eventually sink their opponent’s boats. Check out game instructions in the preview file.

Subject pronouns are written in the vertical column and infinitives are written in the boxes at the top. To choose a square, the player must say the subject and correct verb form in the passé composé using avoir as helping verb. If you wanted to practice writing in the passé composé you could have your students do that.

All of the vocabulary they’ll need is written right on the game sheet and it is all in French. Each game sheet includes two battleship grids and a line separating the two. Students can fold the paper on the line if they want to. One of the grids is for a player to place his boats and the other is to mark and keep track of his opponent.

You and your students may also enjoy my collection of passé composé resources.

Taboo is a fun French speaking and listening game where one student has to guess a word based on clues given in French by other students. The catch is that they cannot mention anything that is included in a list of taboo words.

To get your students speaking even more about Halloween, try out my French Speaking Activity - Halloween - 30 French Speaking Prompts.

All of the words on each card are written in French and English. This is very useful as many of the words will be new to students whether they are beginners or very advanced. You can easily modify this game to play it with all levels!  You are going to love hearing your students speaking in French to each other about Halloween.

Object of the game:

One player tries to get his teammate to guess the word at the top of a card. The player must give clues, but he can't use any of the Taboo words in his description. The taboo words are written beneath the underlined word at the top of the card.

Teams score points for each word successfully guessed. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Beginner students should be allowed to use the French TABOO words printed on the cards. This will encourage them to use new vocabulary and will help them in forming sentences to use as clues.

This French Taboo vocabulary and speaking game includes the following:

• How to play French Taboo (beginner and advanced levels)
• 35 printable taboo cards in French and English
• PowerPoint version
• Page for recording new words in French in English

What teachers are saying about my French Taboo Speaking games:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This is exactly what I've been looking for to consolidate and expand vocabulary! I teach a beginners intensive course (IB) as well as intermediate students who've done 2 years of French. Students love being able to guess, even being supported with a dictionary. LOVE the range of levels variety of vocab. Looking forward to the growing nature of this bundle. UN GRAND MERCI!!!" - L.J.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Love this! Great design, great differentiation of playing for lower levels (or higher levels), and love that there are so many topics! Great words included in each one." - Ashley Lefevre

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Absolutely loved this and so did my kids. Vocabulary is a weak spot so this is a great resource to help build school related vocabulary. Taboo is awesome!" - Classroom of a Caper

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "A great way to make the students use different vocab to express their ideas!" - Made by Mademoiselle

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "It was sooo good when I used it in my French class. I teach English and French in Spain and I'm decided to use it in both subjects for the coming year. I needed two lessons because the students had so much fun that they asked me to play another day!" - Ester B.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Thank you! I like how there is a beginner version of the game - perfect for my core French students!" - Janesse M.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This was a very useful resource to purchase and I would recommend it to any junior teacher! Everything you needed was there and it was very organized resource. Looking forward to using it again this year!" - Kathleen E.

Your French students need to practice conjugating regular IR verbs, you need an easy and no-prep activity that will keep them engaged and having fun while learning. Look no further! Students already know how to play "rock, paper, scissors" in English, so why not have some fun with "pierre, feuille, ciseaux" while mastering verb conjugations in your French classroom? Scroll down to see a list of the 22 verbs that are included in this resource.

Check out my money saving bundle for more games like these!

Besides loving that your students will be engaged in this highly interactive activity, you'll quickly come to appreciate that you can use these games across many levels with any tense that meets your needs!

Students play in pairs. They play quick games of "pierre, feuille, ciseaux" to see who will be able to move forward a certain number of spaces on the game board.

The following sentences are written in French on the game board, and it’s fun way to get them speaking more French during the game if they say them when they win:

⭐ La pierre écrase les ciseaux.

⭐ La feuille enveloppe la pierre.

⭐ Les ciseaux découpent la feuille.

When a student lands on a space, he conjugates and translates the verb written on it using the subject pronoun provided. Winning is easy, as long as you're the first one to reach la fin!

Included with this resource:

► Instructions on how to play

► Three versions of the game using 22 IR verbs

The instructions are written in English, so this will be an easy activity for you to leave for a non-French speaking substitute teacher on days when you can't be there.

Looking for a quick, easy and fun no-prep game to use when teaching present tense être with and without negation? This is a one-page dots & boxes game that will engage your students with a lot of exposure to reading, spelling, conjugating, and pronunciation.

This game can be laminated and used repeatedly with dry-erase markers or played on an iPad with annotation/whiteboard tools. The bundle will save you 50%!

How to play (written on the game page in English): Complete more boxes than your opponent. Each player draws lines using a different color.

Once all of the boxes have been completed, count to see who got the most.

This is a really fun game to practice with your students who are learning vocabulary about LA NOURRITURE, and it involves NO PREP once you've printed and cut out the cards. I've included both a beginner and intermediate version of the game. The beginner version has the words written out and the intermediate version only shows pictures. Have a look at the thumbnails to see what they look like.

➯ This resource is part of my Primary French Growing Bundle

➯ This resource is also included in my NOURRITURE bundle

Each version includes 32 cards. Depending on class size you could either give each student more than one card or have them play with a partner. I recommend printing out and laminating these cards if possible so that you can use them over and over again.

You may also enjoy 30 French speaking questions - La nourriture - Food

Here's how this game works. Once each student has a card (or cards), the one who has the card that says "Je commence" starts the game. He says, for example, Je commence! J'ai une fraise. Qui a une orange? The person who has the card with an orange on it says, J'ai une orange. Qui a du bacon? And so the game goes on until the last card is called and that student's card will say, "J'ai fini!"

Another idea is to prepare two sets of cards, divide your class into two groups and let each group have a go to see which team can get through the entire deck of cards the fastest. If the vocabulary is completely new you could start out with the beginner deck and as the words become more familiar you could move on to the intermediate level. It's really a lot of fun, and though you can play with younger students the older ones love this game just as much.
