9th Grade French Games (by date, oldest first)

This bundle features a zipped version, as opposed to the original, Google Drive version. If you prefer accessing via your Google Drive, access the exact same document here.

Clicking on the link above will show you previews and more information about the different products in this mega bundle!

If you teach Core French (FSL) to grades 4-8 and struggle to engage, interest and get them excited about French, then this is the bundle for you. It contains every single Core French product from my store.

My students have been known as low-level and require high levels of engagement. My products match that and are ready to be used, require no prep and are quick and easy to project and GO.

Check out the preview to see what you'll get from this mega bundle which will cover you for the year!

Desert Island Explorer is an engaging, two-week game-based sub unit designed for grades 5 to 9, offering an immersive and bilingual experience centered around the theme of desert islands. This project-based learning module combines elements of language arts, science, and teamwork to enhance students' critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative skills.

• Lessons are provided in English, and all activities within are French and English.
• These products work in English or French classrooms.

Nothing is more stressful than having to leave work for an extended time: our profession requires us to plan, to create engaging resources, and to assume the subs covering have French capabilities. We all know that's... not the reality of this profession. When you've gotta be out, you've gotta be out, and frankly, when you're in this position, you've not got the time, energy or mental health to allow for this level of planning. That's where I come in! This ressource covers you for roughly two weeks: providing your sub with direction in English, and activities in both English and French to ensure a seamless absence... And if you aren't actually out (or maybe you're checked out and just a body in the room!) but just want someone to tell you what to do for 2 weeks, this checks out for that, too.

I integrate discussion-based prompts, writing activities, reading activities, film watching, reflections, games, math tasks, group work, projects, presentations, art tasks - just about everything to keep them engaged while you're away! This is a clear and engaging this resource for your next emergency absence.

In this mega crypt of activities relating to desert island survival, you'll discover the following activities:

• All lesson plans (in English) for 15 activities and projects;
• Desert Island Charades (An engaging team activity where they must act out different desert island scenarios and go head-to-head against the opposing team);
• Island Survival Expedition (A team-based activity on choosing the items to bring to a desert island - without surpassing a maximum weight limit);
• Shipwrecked (An activity which will have students ranking items based on their importance for survival after being shipwrecked);
• A Brief History of the Message in a Bottle with 2 questions;
• Make Your Own Message in a Bottle (An engaging, meaningful task which involves students writing, decorating, "throwing to sea" and finding bottles with their classmates);
• Bottle + old paper templates (For use with Message in a Bottle activities);
• Dilemme sur une île déserte (4 pages of math activities - French only);
• 2 x Reading comprehension:
  • “Perdus en mer” (French only - grades 7-9) with questions;
  • “L’Île mystérieuse” (French only - grades 4-6) with questions.
• Desert Island Dilemma (A writing prompt with information for idea generation);
• Film project (Success criteria and rubrics included for this team-based, drama-focused task);
• The great survival strategy (Stations activity on persuasive language techniques and strategies)
• The great survival strategy (Persuasive prompt following the stations activity)
• Jeopardy-style flash cards (Whole group team-based game on finding the best answer)
• Watch + Respond (A film to be viewed with examples on how to engage students with their listening)
• Watch + Respond (Student question list - English only)
• Watch + Respond (Collaborative question cards - English only)
• The Ultimate Survival Guide (A final project which will have students creating pamphlets, brochures or an infographic on a desert island. Includes success criteria and rubrics in both English and French).

Hopefully this provides a sense of relief and calm to you in this time of need!

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!

French indirect object pronouns can be tricky - students may have trouble determining what an indirect object is, or how to choose what pronoun to use, or where it goes in the sentence. This game will help them to practice and master the concept, but in a fun and exciting way.

Your students will love and hate the It's not fair Game! Students will pick questions from the game board. Each question has a sentence with an indirect object that can be replaced by a indirect object pronoun - lui or leur. If they answer correctly, they can keep the points or pass them to another team - but they won't know how many points they've "won" until they make their decision.

This item contains instructions for the game and a PowerPoint game board. The boards are fully editable, so adjust the questions and point values as needed for your classes.
