French passé composé with être game - Quel Dommage!
Once students know how to use the French passé composé with être they will have a great time practicing with this hands on game: QUEL DOMMAGE!! This is a passé composé review game in which the sentences are written with the infinitive form of verbs in parentheses. Students have to restate them in the passé composé using être as helping verb and a past participle, making agreement when necessary. Detailed instructions are included so that even when you need to have a sub, your students can practice the passé composé with être.
All you have to do is print the game cards on heavy paper or card stock and cut them out. If you laminate them you'll have a no prep activity ready to go for years to come! Put all of the game pieces in a box and divide your students into small teams. Give each team gets a box of questions and a copy of the answer key.
Students must replace the underlined present tense verb in the sentences with the passé composé and say the sentence correctly. When they are correct, they get to keep their game card. However, when they draw a QUEL DOMMAGE card they have to put all of their game cards back in the box. The student with the most game cards at the end is the winner.
Included:
5 QUEL DOMMAGE cards - You don’t have to include them all in the game if you feel there are too many.
30 numbered game cards - Black and white and color versions provided.

French conditional - Bataille Navale - French present conditional battleship game
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 have your students practice the present conditional tense. This game is perfect for both core and immersion curriculums and everything written on the games is in French.
*There is not an answer key included with this resource due to the number of responses possible. I encourage you to allow your students to use a resource that you choose for them to check your answers.
This resource includes 40 different verbs including all of the common ones with irregular stems and a few with spelling changes as well as a good mix of regular verbs. 5 different versions of the game are included.
Just print out one page of the version of this game that 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 imperfect tense. 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 and instructions on how to play.

Have students work in small groups of 2-4 or project the version of the game you want to use, and play as a whole class.
One student in the small group or class chooses a person on the chart. Other students ask up to 20 questions trying to guess the secret person. I like to allow my students to look at the game chart while they play. It helps move the game along and keeps kids from getting “stuck”.
You can play this game in any language. Show your students sample questions in the target language. Some examples:
Is it a man / woman?
Is it someone who is still living today?
Is it an actor / singer?
Is this person older than 40?
Does / Did this person live in America / Europe / Asia / etc?
The student who has chosen the secret person can answer using the following responses: YES - NO - SOMETIMES - RARELY - GENERALLY - 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 person describe that person to others in the group. Instead of asking questions about the secret person, other students listen to the description and guess who it is.
