If you're struggling to find an original and engaging activity for your beginner French students to practice and review regular RE verbs, you are going to love these listening comprehension and writing activities in the present tense. Peek at the preview for a closer look at these fun storyboard activities which also exist for ER verbs, IR verbs, and in a money saving bundle!

• Listen to the 15 pre-recorded present tense sentences being read
• Draw what you hear on the student response sheet provided
• Write the infinitive form of the verb being used in the sentence

These activities can be used for listening comprehension and written production at the same time, instructions included.

If your students have access to colored pencils you may choose to use the recordings that indicate which color they should use to draw and write. The color they should use is clearly indicated in French at the beginning or appropriate time in the reading of the sentence.

A recording without the use of colors is also included.

Some students will say they can’t draw, but stick figures should be encouraged! None of the sentences represent a real drawing challenge.

Included in this French listening comprehension resource bundle:

• Instructions
• Pre-recorded MP3 version of 15 sentences without use of colors - perfect resource to alternatively use as a dictée
• Pre-recorded MP3 version of 15 sentences with use of colors
• 15 sentences written for teacher use
• Student response sheets

No answer keys are provided for the drawings due to the nature of the activity. However, assessment is very simple for the teacher! All you have to do is glance over the drawings. Answer keys are provided for written responses should you opt to use this as a dictation exercise.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Nice listening activity, and could be used as a formative assessment." - Tina S.
