This activity bundle will allow you to get a good foundation in forming the imparfait and includes a variety of activities for students to practice choosing between the imparfait and the passé composé.

included in the bundle:

Focused grammar unit - a great introduction to the imparfait. Includes a PowerPoint to teach the basics, a printable version of the notes, and activities to practice using the imparfait. Also includes a reading about life at Versailles during the reign of Louis XIV so students can see the imparfait in action.

Hidden images verb practice - A Google slides activity, students fill in the boxes with the correct imparfait form of the verb. If they get it right, a section of the image will appear.

Digital practice games - imparfait, passé composé or imparfait. Self-grading digital games that give students more practice choosing the correct form of the imparfait as well as when to use it. Games can be played in either Google slides or PowerPoint.

Reading activity - Les zombies attaquent - a short story about a zombie attack at the local high school. Students will enjoy the fun story and see the interplay of the imparfait and the passé composé.

Reading activity - Sidney Crosby - a short biography of the star hockey player. Read the article, answer the questions and determine the reason for the choice between the imparfait and the passé composé.

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!

Kaitlyn.

Looking for a fun game to get your students speaking French? Use this game to have students practice forming questions and speaking French using vocabulary for Valentine's Day.

Included:

French and English version

French only version

Have students work in small groups of 2-4 or project the game and do a whole class activity.

This game includes 40 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.

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.

Do you find it nearly impossible to find French grammar based reading, writing, speaking, and listening activities?  The focus on specific grammar themes seems to get pushed aside when you want to incorporate all of the other skills.  This is a set of four booklets based on French coordinating conjunctions: MAIS - OU - ET - DONC - OR - NI - CAR. 

When you’re teaching French conjunctions, you may not want everything you do to be absolutely grammar based, because that can become boring.  

This set of four one-page front and back, no-prep booklets includes reading comprehension with questions, a grammar quiz, a writing exercise with three activities, and a partnered writing and speaking activity. 

These activities do not include rules. The activities in these booklets are not for absolute beginners. You may want to check out my French Coordinating Conjunctions Ready to Use Printable Lesson & PowerPoint.

These activities are meant to provide your students with an opportunity for a challenging review of this grammar topic.

All of the booklets are based on mastering French coordinating conjunctions.

Once you’ve taught the rules, it’s time to have some fun with MAIS - OU - ET - DONC - OR - NI - CAR!

This resource includes the following:

⭐  Reading Comprehension Text

⭐  10 Reading Comprehension Questions

⭐  Grammar Quiz - 15 Questions

⭐  Writing Work - 3 Exercises

⭐  Write and Ask Questions + Speak

⭐  Answer Keys Included

All you have to do is print the 4 half pages double-sided so that you have 4 half pages that fit on one page of paper.  Once you’ve printed, just fold the paper in half, and you have a booklet!

You’ll notice that the different booklets reach into reading, writing, speaking, and listening, while still incorporating and focusing on French coordinating conjunctions.

The reading comprehension booklet includes:

➤ Cover page

➤ Reading comprehension passage including the grammar theme many times

➤ Two pages with 10 multiple choice comprehension questions

➤ Answer key

The writing activities booklet includes:

➤ Cover page

➤ Sentence writing activity to include the grammar theme with proofreading check boxes

➤ Vocabulary page where students choose a theme and write 16 words that correspond to the grammar topic

➤ Paragraph writing page to include vocabulary from the list and the grammar theme with proofreading check boxes

The quiz / exercise booklet includes:

➤ Cover page

➤ 3 pages with 15 multiple choice questions based on the grammar topic

The partnered writing / speaking booklet includes:

➤ Cover page

➤ 3 pages with space to write a question to ask someone including the grammar topic.

➤ There is space for:  6 original questions, the name of the person to whom they ask the question, and space to write the person’s answer to the question. 

⭐ ALWAYS PREPARED…

These booklets are one of my favorite "go to" resources when I want to get my students reading, writing, listening, and speaking to each other while focusing on specific grammar themes that require a lot of practice.  There's something about changing up the routine that is very motivating to students.  

⭐ ALWAYS PREPARED…

You will be able to pull out this set of booklets again and again, year after year, as you teach and reteach French grammar topics.  There are 100 sets of booklets in this series, and it's never a bad idea to pull out a random stack even with your more advanced students to give them a solid review of certain things they may have forgotten.  

⭐ ALWAYS PREPARED…

These no-prep booklets can easily carry you through your whole career as a French teacher, and they'll save you so much time.  I like to have baskets of these booklets ready to pull out and go at the drop of a hat.  How about never needing to prepare for a sub on days when you can't be there?

Do your AP French students need practice reading non-fiction in order to prepare for the test? Are you looking for interesting reading activities that can be done as class readings, independent reading, or free voluntary reading? Are you doing plenty of fun stories in your CI-driven French class, but you'd like to expose students to some less-common vocabulary or non-fiction readings? These readings are perfect for your intermediate and advanced French classes, levels 2 (with scaffolding) and up (more independently).

This bundle includes ALL of the intermediate and advanced French readings from the store. The price will go up as new items are added, but once you purchase you'll receive all of the new readings for free!

Most are non-fiction, but there are a few fiction stories mixed in. Science, culture, biographies, current events, cultural readings - a little bit of everything in one place! There are currently 118 different readings - enough to keep your students busy for the entire year. As new readings are added to the store, they will be added to this bundle as well.

Each reading includes:

• a printable article
• comprehension questions
• answer key
• additional resources

ACTFL performance descriptors:

• Comprehends simple stories, routine correspondence, short descriptive texts or other selections within familiar contexts. (int)
• Generally comprehends connected sentences and much paragraph-like discourse. (int)
• Comprehends information-rich texts with highly predictable order.(int)
• Comprehends paragraph discourse such as those found in stories, straightforward literary works, personal and work-related correspondence, written reports or instructions, oral presentations (news), anecdotes, descriptive texts, and other texts dealing with topics of a concrete nature. (adv)

Qui suis-je? Interactive activity for advanced secondary French students

⇨ 75 cards with detailed descriptions of common nouns using higher level French

⇨ Use cards to have students work in pairs or small groups.

⇨ Use PDF with one card per page to project and use as a whole class activity.

⇨ Cards feature detailed descriptions for students to read and have others guess the noun that has been described.

⇨ Higher level grammar and vocabulary used in descriptions helps more advanced students get more exposure to grammar in context while having a lot of fun!

☞This resource is included in my advanced French growing bundle☜

While it is good to have students come up with their own descriptive sentences in French, sometimes it's just as great to have them read descriptions aloud to each other. Students will see advanced grammar in use and will understand new vocabulary words through context. This is a unique way to improve when students have already been exposed to a lot of grammar. Here are a few examples:

⭐ Les voyageurs m'aiment beaucoup parce que je suis très utile quand on veut parcourir de longues distances. On ne me conduit pas. On me pilote. Qui suis-je?

⭐ Je suis un avion!

⭐ J'existe pour aider les gens qui ne voient pas très bien. Ils me posent sur leur nez. J'ai deux verres pour les aider à mieux voir. Qui suis-je?

⭐ Je suis les lunettes!

This resource can be used over and over, and since there are so many cards you will have plenty of variety. The grammar varies from card to card, so you can easily pick and choose which ones you would like to use for different levels.

Are you a French teacher looking for an engaging Mardi Gras activity to get your French students to build their communication skills and vocabulary? 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.

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 Mardi Gras.

French Taboo Games Growing Bundle

Classic French Taboo Games Bundle - 3 Versions

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)
• 30 printable taboo cards in French and English
• 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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This is a great supplement for multi-level classes. I have students who are francophone and students who have never taken a French class before this year, so a resource like this is very much appreciated." - Missalineous

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "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.

This intermediate French reading comprehension bundle includes a variety of non-fiction readings in French about a variety of interesting topics.  Learn about people and places of interest while practicing your French comprehension skills. Each reading includes a glossary of less common words as well as comprehension questions, answer key and links to additional resources.  They are suitable for intermediate-low and higher French students.

The intermediate French readings in this non-fiction bundle include:

• Stromae
• Alain Robert
• GIGN
• The Paris Underground
• Life in a cave house

Do your AP French students need practice reading non-fiction in order to prepare for the test? Are you looking for interesting reading activities that can be done as class readings, independent reading, or free voluntary reading? Are you doing plenty of fun stories in your CI-driven French class, but you'd like to expose students to some less-common vocabulary or nonfiction readings? These readings are perfect for your intermediate and advanced French classes, levels 2 (with scaffolding) and up (more independently).

Each reading includes:

• a printable article
• comprehension questions
• answer key
• additional resources

ACTFL performance descriptors:

• Comprehends simple stories, routine correspondence, short descriptive texts or other selections within familiar contexts. (int)
• Generally comprehends connected sentences and much paragraph-like discourse. (int)
• Comprehends information-rich texts with highly predictable order.(int)
• Comprehends paragraph discourse such as those found in stories, straightforward literary works, personal and work-related correspondence, written reports or instructions, oral presentations (news), anecdotes, descriptive texts, and other texts dealing with topics of a concrete nature. (adv)

These 30 questions are just right for students who need to practice the PRESENT TENSE, and they are a perfect no prep speaking activity for busy teachers. Each EST-CE QUE question uses the TU form with verbs in the present tense. In addition to regular and irregular -ER, -IR and -RE verbs I've also included many irregular verbs.

In order to avoid OUI and NON answers, each question also includes an interrogative word which is great practice in helping to remember what they mean and where they're placed in the sentence.

This resource is part of my French 1 & 2 curriculum bundle

Since all of the questions are asked in the TU form, all of the answers will be in the first person singular. This is so that students can really focus and get used to using these verbs when talking about themselves and when talking to a friend.

Just cut out the 30 cards, punch holes in the spaces provided and attach the stack of cards with a key ring. It would be a great idea to print on card stock and laminate the cards before punching holes and attaching them. Super easy and no prep for years to come. Both black and white and color versions are included as well as a 2 page print out of the questions if you should decide to use them as a quiz or homework assignment.

Repetition is key in learning a language, and that's why I've created many different versions of these speaking cards. All of the cards ask the same basic questions, but each time in a different tense. My students really appreciate the familiarity of the cards even when learning a new tense.

Check out the other versions:

• Futur proche speaking task cards
• Futur simple speaking task cards
• Passé Composé Speaking Task Cards
• French Speaking Questions Task Cards - Present Tense
• Imperfect Tense French Speaking Task Cards
• Conditional Tense French Speaking Task Cards
• Past Conditional Tense French Speaking Task Cards
• French Subjunctive Speaking Task Cards
