Play this French New Year's - Nouvel An 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.
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.
Included:
30 playing cards in French and English to print, cut out and laminate - color copy
30 playing cards in French and English to print, cut out and laminate - grayscale copy
File for projecting one card at a time
Sheet for recording new vocabulary words
15 mots max - alternative way to play

➤ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions.
➤ Project the pdf file in class to work in group or with your whole class and avoid printing.
➤ Use as a warm-up speaking activity with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.
➤ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out correct answers to false statements.
➤ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.
➤ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.
➤ 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 at the beginning of the school year or right after school holidays.
➤ Great resource for tutoring sessions and vocabulary building.

House and Home 20 questions games - No prep ESL speaking activities
4 versions of the game are included for a total of 208 vocabulary words.
Have students work in pairs, small groups of 2-4, or project the version of the game that you want to use and do a whole class activity.
Each version includes 52 house and home words. This resource includes a total of 208 words. Many of the words will likely be new to your students as this game is meant not only to practice speaking and listening, but also to build vocabulary. I like to allow my students to look at the game chart while they play until they’re somewhat familiar with the words.
One student in the small group or class chooses a word on the chart. Other students ask up to 20 questions trying to guess the secret word.
Are you an object?
Are you a room?
Are you in the kitchen?
Are you in the bedroom?
Are you in the bathroom?
…etc…
The student who has chosen the secret word can answer using the following responses: YES - NO - SOMETIMES - RARELY - USUALLY - MAYBE - IT DEPENDS - PROBABLY
Alternative game play:
To change up the game and to make it more challenging as well as practicing other skills, have the student who chooses the secret word describe it to others in the group. Instead of asking questions about the secret word, other students listen to the description and guess it.

Est-ce que tu as déjà…? This passé composé speaking activity is great for getting French 2 students to speak and review at the end of the year and again for French 3 students as an ice-breaker activity as early as the first day of class after summer vacation. This activity uses mostly verbs with AVOIR as helping verb including mostly regulars, but some irregulars as well. There are a few reflexive verbs that use “être” as helping verb and the verb ALLER is included several times in each of the 5 versions of this activity.
This resource includes:
Est-ce que tu as déjà…? - 5 different versions of the activity with 16 questions per grid for a total of 80 getting to know your questions in the passé composé.
How to play:
Have your students move around the room asking classmates if they have ever done what is written in the squares on the grid that you provide. If a classmate responds with OUI he or she writes his name on the line provided. Complete sentences are encouraged even when the answer is NON. Activity continues until all boxes are filled. Once all of the boxes have been signed your students can turn in their papers.
This is a fun, interactive way to review the passé composé. Your students enjoy learning fun facts about their classmates, and you will certainly like hearing them speak French!

French New Year Vocabulary - Nouvel An - I’d rather cards
This resource includes a set of 35 I’d rather - Qu’est-ce que tu préférerais cards to use for the New Year - Le Nouvel An. In fact, they can be a fun resource to get your students talking at any time of the year! These cards can appeal to many different age groups.

20 task cards - cartes à tâches- for practicing the French passé composé with être and avoir. Students can work cooperatively or individually. Each card features a sentence with a blank to fill in with the passé composé. Students are given the infinitive form of the verb that must be conjugated in the passé composé. Answers are provided on corresponding numbered task cards so that students can easily check each others answers.
Regular, irregular and reflexive verbs are included in this activity. Print, laminate and cut out these task cards and use them over and over. Look in the upper left corner. I've indicated where you should punch a hole in each card in case you want to attach them with a ring.
This is a really fun game to practice with your students who are learning vocabulary about EN VILLE, and it involves NO PREP. I've included both a beginner and intermediate version of the game, both in black and white and color versions. 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.
This resource is also part of a money saving bundle that you are going to ♡:
En Ville - Vocabulary Speaking Activities 4-PACK: https://www.tes.com/us/teacher-lessons/bundle-and-save-en-ville-french-vocabulary-speaking-activities-and-games-3-pack-11602697
Each version includes 30 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 la cheminée. Qui a la fenêtre? The person who has the card with a window on it says, J'ai la fenêtre. Qui a les rideaux?"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.
