"I have, Who has?" is a fun and engaging whole-class game for your French class to practice vocabulary. The vocabulary used on the cards covers animals (please download the preview to view the terms used). This game includes 2 versions of the activity in a zipped file - one with the images in color and another with the images in black and white. Each set includes the same 32 cards as well as directions, an answer key, and a student answer sheet. My students love playing this game, especially when I time them. They love trying to beat their times.

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!

Use French fortune tellers to have students practice conjugating the verb être au présent in a fun and different way. Your students already love them, and fortune tellers are a perfect activity for reviewing verb conjugations at any time of the year!

Included:

1 fortune teller

Instructions on how to use the activity

Included in the following fortune teller bundles:

➯ French Present Tense Fortune Tellers Growing Bundle

➯ BIG Fortune Teller Growing Bundle with more tenses and vocabulary

➯ Être Fortune Tellers Bundle - 5 Games - 5 Tenses

What teachers are saying about my French fortune tellers:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I had created a Google Classroom project that had a quiz at the end.  Students were all at different phases of the project and I needed something related that early finishers who had already taken the quiz could do so that their classmates could continue their work.  This was absolutely perfect.  My students had a really good time with this project.  I highly recommend this as a way to have students use a hands-on creative project to complete.  I have a lot of ideas moving forward of how I can create activities using the fortune tellers.  This is a lovely tool with many potential uses.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The students loved creating their own fortune tellers and practicing conjugations with their classmates. This is a great resource!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This is a great resource for review purposes or 'game day'! Also good to be used as a supply lesson plan so that students have an engaging activity for a non-French supply teacher.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Fun manipulative for encouraging target language!”

Whether you teach Spanish, French, German, or Mandarin Chinese, this is the perfect lesson to get your students thinking about the purpose of studying foreign languages!

This product features an engaging "Language Talk" activity that will have your new students thinking, writing, speaking, and moving on the very first day of school. In this activity, they must choose between 6 different quotes about the purpose of learning languages and articulate why the quote aligns with their perspective. I use this lesson every year to set the tone for what I expect in class - it is a great way to gain insight about their current attitudes towards speaking another language while they get to know one another with a higher level thinking activity as opposed to the same-old, same-old icebreaker.

Product includes:

• Comprehensive Lesson Plan
• "Language" Sheet for students to fill out
• 6 Corresponding "Language Quote" signs to hang up around your room

Though I utilize this product on the first day of school, it really can be used all year long. I hope that it is as successful in your class as it is in mine!

Need a fun way to start the year in World Language class?  How about a team-building  game!  This reading about why students should learn another language goes from dull to exciting as students work together and move around the room to solve a mystery!  This is a simple “print and go” with no work for the teacher!  This is a great way to get the year started with new students, or to provide motivation when you see interest and effort waning.  This activity is in English, and can be used by any World Language class!

All World Language teachers want to motivate and encourage our students, and help them see the value of becoming proficient in the language they’re studying. This story gives 10 teen-friendly reasons why it’s so beneficial to prioritize learning a new language! 

The story revolves around two teens trying to decide what classes to take.  Your students play the role of the mystery solvers.  They have to read all 10 parts of the story to figure out the answer to the final question;  what will the students grow up to be in their career?   While your students read the story parts, they are looking for “code words” in the story.  Students record the code words on a special answer sheet that will eventually lead them to solving the mystery of teens’  future career.  It’s so much fun! 

After, you can decide which of the 4 follow-up activities you want to do with your students.  There are 4; a True or False Activity to check for basic comprehension, a “tell me in your own words” summary activity, an opportunity to work with a group and write a story about a adventure the teens will have in their career (which can be done in the TL),  and an activity where they can explore possible careers for bilingual people.   Answer key to the True/False is also included.  Best of all?  If there’s something you’d like to change for your students, you are free to edit!

Who can use this product?

• Students taking a World Language
• Middle or High School 

How can I use this product?

• Print out the reading cards (10)
• Hang them up around your room
• Print and copy the answer sheet
• Let students loose to solve the crime! 
• Assign follow-up activities if you wish

What’s included in this product?

• Everything!  No prep beyond print and photocopy!
• Teacher instructions and hints
• 10 reading cards
• Student instructions (in English)
• Student answer sheet
• Answer Key for the code word questions and answer trail
• True/False Comprehension Activity
• Answer Key to True/False
• Summarize in your own words activity
• Writing Follow-up: Tell about a future adventure
• Research jobs for bilingual people
