French Teaching Resources: Sentence Building Cards for Starters/ Warmers.

Use the following cards as a starter activity to revise a range of tenses: present, near future, future, perfect and imperfect. Simply say the sentence in English and the students race to put the correct sentence together. Simple and fun!

Expressions on cards:

je

vais aller

suis allé(e)

à Paris

aux Etats-Unis

avec

mes copains

mes copines

ma soeur

et

mais

c’était

ça sera

d’habitude

vais

c’est

très

assez

plutôt

intéressant(e)

génial(e)

barbant(e)

quand j’étais jeune

j’allais

j’irai

You could also play or a game with the individual cards which I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students spread out the cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct French card first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!
