French Teaching Resources. The Present Tense Dominoes.

I use these French - English dominoes to revise the present tense with my older students.

Examples of expressions:

They finish their homework.

Ils finissent leurs devoirs.

He is passing out/losing consciousness.

Il perd_ connaissance.

We have studied French for 5 years.

Nous étudions le francais depuis cinq ans.

I’m on my way/coming!

J’arrive!

You (plural) dream......

You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example,

Level 1 = line up the cards and discuss the pronunciation.

Level 2 = as level 1 and then have quick fire questions from French to English, whereby 1 student closes their eyes and their partner reads out the French cards which the student must translate into English from memory.

Level 3 = As Level 2 but the quick fire questions are from English to French.

Following checking there is a fun game I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students spread out the dominoes in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct French card first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!
