You can use these cards after teaching specific vocabulary for L'AUTOMNE or as a fun interactive activity on a day when you want to just focus on speaking and reviewing vocabulary in a different way. Read on to find out all of the ways I like to use these cards including the very popular SCOOT game. Instructions and recording sheet are included (also see the preview).

All cards are visually stimulating and feature a circle to punch out in the upper left corner so that you can print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and hook the cards together with a ring.

➤ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer true or false and to correct the false statements. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question. All cards are numbered so it is simple to stay organized. Full instructions are included.

➤ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.

➤ Use the cards as an icebreaker activity.

Teaching French sports vocabulary?  Looking for an engaging way 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.

To get your students speaking even more about les sports d'été et d'hiver, try out my French Sports Vocabulary Speaking Activity.

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 summer and winter sports.

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)
• 50 printable taboo cards in French and English
• Page for recording new words in French in English

50 French Simple Negation Speaking and Listening Cards

This resource includes 50 simple negation speaking cards that you can cut out and have students use in pairs or small groups. I recommend printing out and laminating these cards if possible so that you can use them over and over again. I've also included a PDF with only one card per page for projecting or using with tablets when you want to do a whole class activity or paired work without printing.

This resource is included in my French Negation Bundle.

On each card there is a question for student #1 to ask to student #2. The assumed answer is written on the card, but students should be reminded that sometimes more than one answer is possible.

Since there are so many cards included, this activity can last a while and give your students an opportunity to really practice a lot.

These are questions and answers to practice simple negation in the present, passé composé and futur proche tenses. Just pull out the ones you're not quite ready to use given your students' current level.

All of these cards use: ➯ ne . . . pas

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

These 100 French speaking prompt cards are a fun way to get your beginner students speaking to each other in French. 100 cards = 100 themes!

There are four cards per page. Just print, laminate, cut out, and you’ll be able to use this set of speaking cards at the drop of a hat for years to come!

A set with only one card per page is included for use on a digital device.

These speaking cards are included in my Big Bundle of French Writing Prompts + Speaking Cards Bonus.

⭐  Warm up work before class

⭐  Early finishers

⭐  Tutoring individuals or small groups

⭐  Whole class or paired activity

Here's what you get:

► 100 speaking cards - 4 per page (for printing)

► 100 speaking cards - 1 per page (for use on a device)

► Included in: Big Bundle of French Writing Prompts + Speaking Cards Bonus

ALWAYS PREPARED…

Speaking prompt cards are my "go to" resource when I want to get my students talking to each other in French, from beginner to advanced levels.  There's something about changing up the routine from boring desk work that is very motivating to students.  They appreciate working with partners or small groups, and YOU will really love hearing them practice all of the grammar and vocabulary they've been learning while SPEAKING French. 

ALWAYS PREPARED…

You will be able to pull out this set of cards again and again, year after year, as you teach and reteach grammar and vocabulary.  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 speaking cards can easily carry you through your whole career as a French teacher, and they'll save you so much time.  If you like to print and have hard copies for your students to hold, I recommend laminating them and hooking them together with a ring.  I like to have baskets of these cards 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?

L'heure - Telling Time in French - 12 & 24 Hour Clock Battleship Games - BUNDLE

Use this classic game format to have your students practice telling time in French using 12 hour and 24 hour clocks. These are NO PREP activities, just print and go.  10 versions of the game are included in this bundle.

Students randomly place ships on their grid at the top of the sheet by drawing filled in circles. The number of circles for each of their six battleships is indicated at the top of the page.  As they try to discover the location of their opponent's ships, they use the grid on the bottom of the sheet to keep track. Instructions are provided in English on each page. Have a look at the preview to see what these games look like.

A list of hours is written in the left column, and minutes are written on the top in numeric form. Students randomly match the hours on the left with minutes at the top. 

There is not an answer key included with this resource due to the number of possible responses.  These games will give your students a chance to use vocabulary for telling time with a 12 hour clock such as:  et quart, moins le quart, et demie, moins vingt, etc. The set which uses the 24 hour clock will be a good reminder not to use that vocabulary and to say the actual numbers.

How to play:

Print out one page of the version of this game that you want to use per student. Students draw circles to represent their boats on the grid at the top of the game board. Students play against each other to try to find and eventually sink their opponent’s boats.

Eight hours are written in the vertical column and minutes are written in the boxes at the top. To choose a square, the player must say an hour on the left along with minutes at the top. 

All of the vocabulary they’ll need is written right on the game sheet.  Each game sheet includes two battleship grids, one for the student and one for keeping track of guesses.

This beefy 125+ page unit on weather and seasons is perfect for your older Core French students who might not have had the luxury of learning this vocabulary and these concepts when they were supposed to. This product (and my other Core French products) are built for exactly that demographic: middle school kids who are too old and "too mature" (so they think!) to be learning these babyish concepts. If this sounds like your demographic -- WELCOME! Look no further.

I teach with a game-based model, and within this unit, you'll have full guided lesson plans showing you how to engage them at every step of the way. This document is divided in two parts: One Slide Deck features interactive games and instructional materials, and a second Slide Deck features all of your lesson plans (including classroom management suggestions, alternative plans, and differentiated models), worksheets, project instructions + success criteria, flashcards + printable games, templates, activities, and word wall vocabulary. I am not your run-of-the-mill crossword puzzles, "find-a-word" and "coloring contest" gal - these games are high energy, encourage movement and will get them (seriously) speaking in French.

Specifically, I cover (in-depth!) everything they need to know about *seasons*(including the verbs we use to talk about seasons - faire, manger, boire, porter), temperatures, weather, seasonal activities, clothing we wear in different seasons, food and drink we enjoy in different seasons, months of the year, days, etc.

Activities and games you'll find included in this mega-unit:

• 4 Coins (or Tapette à mouche) - featuring review material on seasons.

• Énigmes - seasonal riddles.

• In-depth explanation with examples and practice prompts for:

• Le verbe "faire" - and the situations where we use it in context in the present tense.

• Le verbe "manger" - and how to use it in context in the present tense.

• Le verbe "boire" - and how we use it in context in the present tense.

• Le verbe "porter" - and how we use it in context in the present tense.

• "Quel temps fait-il?" - a super fun interactive whole group whiteboard game where your students will click and be directed through a series of questions - testing their knowledge about meteorological conditions!

• "Charades saisonnières" - with explanation and guided prompts (for you!)

• "La poésie saisonnière" - A poetry-writing exercise on using our 5 senses.

• A seasonal activities matching game.

• A reflexive writing activity on seasonal preferences.

• "Des vêtements parfaits" - A worksheet for students to create their dream outfit for their favorite season (#OOTD!)

• A "J'ai... Qui a?" Card game with 28 cards featuring weather, seasons, days of the week and relevant vocabulary to this unit (and a guide sheet for you to make sure it runs smoothly!)

• "Mon cahier sur la météo" - A simple 2-page look into the daily weather and temperature that students can complete independently or as homework.

This newly updated *94 page* unit will cover you for roughly 7-9 Core French 1-hour classes and features a teachable slide deck, worksheets, lesson plans, rubrics, success criteria, a word wall, a phrase wall and numerous suggestions to get your kids having fun, moving, interacting and legitimately enjoying French class with you. The entirety (or parts of) the unit can easily be left with a substitute teacher and you need a quick lesson plan. It's ALL here!

As with all of my Core French products, this one is geared toward a LOW-LEVEL middle-school classroom (grades 3-7). It's high-energy, interactive, highly engaging and requires no prep. It ties in to some science concepts for grades 5 & 6 on biodiversity and adaptations. It features a significant amount of game-based learning and some project-based learning

There are three longer projects included with this unit: "Mon drôle d'animal" which has them building a silly animal and describing its body parts and details; "Mon animal perdu," a poster project which has them creating a poster for their missing pet, and "Une interview à la radio" which has them writing a radio script to find their lost pet with a partner.

Included in this bundle:

• Warm-Ups: A collection of 11 worksheets, suggested lessons and activities, and games to support very low-level students who do not yet have basic vocabulary for colors, animals, etc., to get them up to snuff before jumping into the unit.

Each day students have activities, games, worksheets, and projects to work on independently, in partners and in groups.

• Slide Deck: 38 pages of highly engaging, game-based learning, that's interactive for you to click and go. In your Slide Deck, you'll find:

• "Mon animal perdu" - A formal rubric which focuses on their ability to meet the checklist criteria, to be creative, or to be effective communicators in the radio interview.
