Formation of the French subjunctive is the easy part. Learning how and when to use it correctly is when it gets a little tricky for our students. This is an activity on giving advice, suggestions and opinions using the French subjunctive.
Included you will find fourteen different situations to which your students will have to respond by either making a suggestion, giving your opinion, or giving advice of some kind.
Students will use the provided list of 24 expressions that must be followed by the French subjunctive to help them get started. 3 sample responses are provided for each of the 14 situations (to be used at your discretion, possible responses are provided in the answer section and the original is left open for students to use).
Sample situation: Ton meilleur ami doit déménager dans un autre pays, et tu vas lui manquer.
Quels conseils lui donnes-tu?
Sample response: Il est important que nous gardions le contact par Skype et que nous nous écrivions toutes les semaines sur Facebook.
I love the French verbs VOULOIR, POUVOIR and DEVOIR because they give our students the ability to start speaking French right away. I also love that they are so easy to use once you’ve had a little practice. This bundle includes my favorite lessons, exercises, games and activities to master what I like to call POWER VERBS. Some of the products in this bundle also include the verbs SAVOIR and ALLER. This bundle is meant to accompany you along teaching these verbs to all levels from beginners to advanced students.

Play this French PÂQUES - EASTER Taboo game and have some fun!
Playing games and having fun is when learning really happens in French class. I love to play the game Taboo with my students. French taboo is a game that is easy to modify and use with beginners and advanced students alike.
8 of the 32 cards are religious in nature. If you don't want to or can't include cards of a religious nature in your curriculum you can easily leave them out.
Your students will learn a lot of new and useful vocabulary while preparing for and playing this fun game.
This French PÂQUES Taboo game includes:
32 different Taboo game cards to create a deck that you can print, laminate, cut out, punch holes in and attach with a key ring for as many sets as you need (black and white + color versions provided).
Game instructions for both beginner and advanced students.
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 those written beneath the word at the top of the card. Teams score points for each word successfully guessed, and the team with the most points wins.
This is an easy to play 30 minute dice game to practice 36 different regular French -IR verbs in the present tense.
My high school students love this game, and it can get very competitive if you decide to play it as a race (details are explained with the activity).
Students divide up into teams and play a dice game, the dice determining which subject and -IR verb to conjugate in the present tense.
Included with this activity:
How to play
Six different versions of the game with answers
Student response and scoring sheet
This dice game is an especially fun way to practice while learning about the present tense. More advanced students also benefit from the review.

There's a lot of useful vocabulary for students to learn when we teach about LA MAISON. I have three activities that I love to use to get students talking and to reinforce all of the vocabulary they'll need to talk about house and home.

These end of the year question cards are perfect for FRENCH IMMERSION or CORE FRENCH. You can easily use these cards as a review with French students at any level.
Included: 25 question cards (color and black and white versions as you see in the thumbnails), Powerpoint presentation version to project to the whole class and / or modify as desired.

How to play (beginner and advanced levels)
41 Taboo game cards to print, cut out and laminate if possible
*In the upper left corner there's a spot for you to punch holes in the cards so that you can then hook them together with a ring for no prep use every time!

Two things are very important when teaching the French futur antérieur tense. First, students need to know how this tense is formed and then they need to understand how and when to use it. Here is a set of two worksheets that can also be used as homework or quizzes.
One worksheet focuses on formation of the futur antérieur while the other one has students choose between using the futur simple and the futur antérieur. Subjects or subject pronouns and infinitives are provided and students must fill in the blanks according to context. Each worksheet contains 15 sentences and answer keys are provided.
This is a really fun game to practice with your students who are learning vocabulary about LA NOURRITURE, and it involves NO PREP once you've printed and cut out the cards. I've included both a beginner and intermediate version of the game. The beginner version has the words written out and the intermediate version only shows pictures. Have a look at the thumbnails to see what they look like.
Each version includes 32 cards. Depending on class size you could either give each student more than one card or have them play with a partner. I recommend printing out and laminating these cards if possible so that you can use them over and over again.
Here's how this game works. Once each student has a card (or cards), the one who has the card that says JE COMMENCE starts the game. He says, for example, Je commence! J'ai une fraise. Qui a une orange? The person who has the card with an orange on it says, J'ai une orange. Qui a du bacon? And so the game goes on until the last card is called and that student's card will say, J'ai fini!
Another idea is to prepare two sets of cards, divide your class into two groups and let each group have a go to see which team can get through the entire deck of cards the fastest. If the vocabulary is completely new you could start out with the beginner deck and as the words become more familiar you could move on to the intermediate level. It's really a lot of fun, and though you can play with younger students the older ones love this game just as much.

Everyone loves a good game of BATTLESHIP, and the French classroom is a better place than any! You can use this classic game format to practice forming the PASSÉ COMPOSÉ, choosing between ÊTRE and AVOIR as helping verb. This resource includes 45 verbs. There are regular verbs, irregular verbs and reflexive verbs to practice with. 5 different versions of the game are included.
This resource is also sold at a discounted price in my BATAILLE NAVALE BUNDLE: https://www.tes.com/us/teacher-lessons/french-bataille-navale-games-growing-bundle-11608221
Just print out one page of the version you want to use per student. Students place boats (which are squares on the game sheets that they will have darkened with a pencil) on the game board. Students play against each other to try to find and eventually sink their opponent’s boats.
Subject pronouns are written in the vertical column and infinitives are written in the boxes at the top. To choose a square, the player must say the subject and correct verb form in the passé composé using either être or avoir as helping verb. If you wanted to practice writing in the passé composé you could have your students do that.
All of the vocabulary they’ll need is written right on the game sheet and it is all in French. Each game sheet includes two battleship grids and a line separating the two. Students can fold the paper on the line if they want to. One of the grids is for a player to place his boats and the other is to mark and keep track of his opponent.
This resource includes 5 versions of the game with both black and white and color copies.
