A "cluedo" style task, could be used as a starter: one pupil chooses a person, a house and a detail from the list and the others (whole class/small group) must say different combinations of the vocab until they work out which one was chosen. Make it more complicated with a system to say if any of the guesses have any correct elements ("un/deux points") or give no clues, which just makes everyone get more practise at the phrases!

A set of sentences in present tense for pupils to sort into school day or weekend. Each daily routine sentence is written with a time it would happen on a school day, and again with a time it could happen on a weekend. Sentences are listed together in pairs, but you could make it harder by jumbling them, or printing out and chopping up. Pupils could write their own sentences about a school day or the weekend, using these as prompts.

There are 4 pages with this resource: page 1 is a set of sentences in the perfect tense which are used throughout the resource. You could use them as a matching activity (you say the English, pupils find the French) or a translation task. Page 2 is a gap-fill with the past participles missing: the sentences run in order from morning to bedtime, pupils choose the correct past participle from the box beneath. Page 3 has the answers to the gap-fill, but can also be used as an ordering task (chop up or shuffle first!). Page 4 has guidance for pupils to prepare their own sentences about their daily routine in the past tense.

Secondly, a worksheet with a grammar task to match perfect tense phrases to the infinitives & English, followed by a reading comprehension. This version is set up so you can print two copies on a sheet of A4.
