Present tense French IR Verbs - Primary French conjugation chains - Cut and paste
This literacy center or independent work activity for primary core French or primary French immersion is a fun, hands-on way for your students to practice conjugating 22 different regular French IR verbs (listed below) in the present tense. Each verb page has ten strips to cut out. The first one is for the student’s name, and the following nine strips are for conjugating JE - TU - IL - ELLE - ON - NOUS - VOUS - ILS - ELLES. Students begin by filling in the blanks to add the correct present tense endings. The number of letters needed for the endings is indicated by the number of blanks provided to help students while learning or reviewing conjugations. Next, they cut out the strips and paste them together forming conjugation chains. They’ll love hanging them up around the classroom! This resource is also available for verbs ending in ER, and verbs ending in DRE.
This resource includes the following:
➯ 22 pages with 10 strips each to make a total of 22 conjugation chains

Spanish Halloween Game - Tengo, ¿Quién tiene…? - I have, who has?
This Spanish Halloween game includes 24 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 Empiezo el juego begins the game. He says, for example, Empiezo el juego. Tengo una calabaza. ¿Quien tiene una araña? The person who has the card with a spider on it says, Tengo una araña. ¿Quien tiene una escoba? And so the game goes on until the last card is called and that student’s card will say, El juego ha terminado. ¡Feliz Halloween!
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. It’s a lot of fun, and though you can play with younger students the older ones love this game just as much.
LICENSING TERMS: This purchase includes a license for one teacher only for personal use in their classroom. Licenses are non-transferable, meaning they can not be passed from one teacher to another. No part of this resource is to be shared with colleagues or used by an entire grade level, school, or district without purchasing the proper number of licenses.

J’ai…Qui a? French months, days, seasons - I have…Who has?
This version includes 27 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 le jeu begins the game. He says, for example, Je commence le jeu. J’ai mai, qui a août? The person who has the card with août on it says, J’ai août. Qui a jeudi? And so the game goes on until the last card is called and that student’s card will say, Le jeu est terminé!

French verb PRENDRE - Upper intermediate translation exercise
In beginner French, we teach our students to use the verb prendre when talking about food and drinks and in some of the other most obvious ways. This exercise is not intended for beginners. This resource is for upper-intermediate to advanced students. There are 30 English sentences to translate using the verb prendre in many different ways. Since there are always other ways to translate sentences I have set up the exercise like this. It’s a good way for students to realize that even though grossir means to gain weight, one can also say prendre du poids and it means the same thing.
1. Translate: He’s gaining a little weight.
(grossir) : Il grossit un peu.
(prendre): Il prend un peu de poids.
Answer key is included. Keep in mind that translations can really vary. This exercise will be a good review for building grammatically sound sentences as many different different aspects of the language are included (present, passé composé, futur proche, futur simple, falloir, relative pronouns, lots of idiomatic expressions, and much more).
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 regular -IR verbs. This resource includes 40 regular verbs. 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 present tense. If you wanted to practice writing in the passé composé you could have your students do that. Another idea is to have students make simple sentences using the subject pronoun and verb of choice.
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.

This product includes a support guide to teaching and learning the French past conditional as well as a 5 part translation exercise with answers included. The translations are from English to French and they involve using the present and past conditional as well as other grammar points and verb tenses that students at this level should be comfortable with.
In this lesson I pay special attention to how to say "would have been", "could have been" and "should have been" in French.
We teachers know that learning the French past conditional isn't so difficult once you know how to form the passé composé, but our students often need lots of examples and exercises to help them see the light at the end of the tunnel.
