French Teaching Resources. PowerPoint & Battleships: The Perfect Tense with Reflexives.

This PowerPoint presents the Perfect Tense with reflexives.

It starts by revising what a reflexive verb is, how you can spot a reflexive in the dictionary and the reflexive pronouns.

It then elicits that relfexive verbs take être in the Perfect Tense and the word order.

It present 6 examples of reflexives in the Perfect Tense:
Je me suis réveillé(e).
Je me suis brossé(e) les dents.
Je me suis lavé(e).
Je me suis douché(e).
Je me suis reposé(e).
Je me suis couché(e).

The 7th to 10th slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill.

The next section of slides have multiple choice questions.

Then there are "what's missing?" slides. The final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!
