ESL CATCH PHRASE Speaking Game
Catch Phrase is a fun game to get your students speaking and having fun in English while learning tons of new vocabulary words. This game doesn't follow any particular theme, so the 80 playing cards display 80 unrelated words - a fantastic way to round out your students' speaking skills!
This game is a lot like the TABOO game, but there are no taboo words. Each game card shows the word in question in French along with an image to illustrate it.

The game is played in two teams. The goal for each player is to get their team to say the word or word phrase displayed on the game card. One member of a team starts a timer for 5 minutes and tries to get his or her team to guess the displayed word or phrase.
A clue-giver can make any physical gesture and give almost any verbal clue, but may not say a word that rhymes with any of the words, give the first letter of a word, say the number of syllables, or say part of any word in the clue.
When the team guesses correctly, the other team takes the stack of cards and takes its turn. Play continues until the timer runs out. The team not holding the stack of cards when time runs out scores a point. They also have one chance to guess the word or phrase, with team members allowed to confer; a correct answer earns a bonus point. The first team to score 7 points wins.

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. This Taboo set is about the wonderful and delightful classic story of the Petit Prince written by Antoine de Saint Exupéry. This Taboo set Special le Petit Prince edition includes 167 Vocabulary words translated as well as files in French only. Great for Immersion schools!
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. The teams take turn guessing and verifying no Taboo words have been used. You can also play this game in pairs if everyone agrees not to cheat.
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.
You can also have your students study the vocabulary on the cards!

Practice is what it takes when learning verb conjugations. In the very beginning our students learn regular French -ER, -IR and -RE verbs in the present tense. This is an audio verb drill (native speaker) of 100 common regular French verbs that you can use either in the classroom or language lab. I've included five great ways for you to use this drill.
The audio recording you will download will be great for listening comprehension and oral production, written exercises, paired work and even a cooperative learning group writing game.
Example:
FINIR - TO FINISH - JE - 5 seconds to say or write answer before recorded response - JE FINIS
ATTENDRE - TO WAIT - TU - 5 seconds to say or write answer before recorded response - TU ATTENDS
VENDRE - TO SELL - IL - 5 seconds to say or write answer before recorded response - IL VEND
ABOLIR - TO ABOLISH - NOUS - 5 seconds to say or write answer before recorded response - NOUS ABOLISSONS
MANGER - TO EAT - VOUS - 5 seconds to say or write answer before recorded response - VOUS MANGEZ
RÉUSSIR - TO SUCCEED - ILS - 5 seconds to say or write answer before recorded response - ILS RÉUSSISSENT
During the recording the verbs are not numbered so that you can easily choose a group of 10 or 15 at any point during the exercise to use as bell ringer reviews or to get your students in French mode as they enter the classroom. Use this drill at any time during the year as an excellent review. Use it with upper level students who sometimes need to revise the basics or provide a copy to struggling students who can use it as review while riding on the bus or in the car.
Included:
20 minute m4a audio recording of 100 regular French verbs in the present tense.

Depuis, pendant, il y a, pour: Complete lesson, study guide, 50 practice cards
This French lesson plan will shed some light on when to use depuis, pendant, il y a, and pour when expressing time, which can be a very difficult topic for native English speakers. This resource includes a link to my 20 minute video tutorial on YouTube (here is the link if you’d like to have a look), a two page lesson guide that is useful whether you choose to show the video or not, and 50 practice cards that you can either print and cut out to have students work in small groups or that you can project for a whole class activity.
All of the cards are numbered and an answer key is provided. This easily allows students to work and practice independently or with a partner.

Qui suis-je? Interactive activity for advanced secondary French students
75 cards with detailed descriptions of common nouns using higher level French
Use cards to have students work in pairs or small groups.
Use PDF with one card per page to project and use as a whole class activity.
Cards feature detailed descriptions for students to read and have others guess the noun that has been described.
Higher level grammar and vocabulary used in descriptions helps more advanced students get more exposure to grammar in context while having a lot of fun!
While it is good to have students come up with their own descriptive sentences in French, sometimes it’s just as great to have them read descriptions aloud to each other. Students will see advanced grammar in use and will understand new vocabulary words through context. This is a unique way to improve when students have already been exposed to a lot of grammar. Here are a few examples:
Les voyageurs m’aiment beaucoup parce que je suis très utile quand on veut parcourir de longues distances. On ne me conduit pas. On me pilote. Qui suis-je?
**Je suis un avion! **
J’existe pour aider les gens qui ne voient pas très bien. Ils me posent sur leur nez. J’ai deux verres pour les aider à mieux voir. Qui suis-je?
**Je suis les lunettes! **
This resource can be used over and over, and since there are so many cards you will have plenty of variety. The grammar varies from card to card, so you can easily pick and choose which ones you would like to use for different levels.

✮ French Taboo Game - Animals - Les Animaux ✮

The teams take turn guessing and verifying no Taboo words have been used. You can also play this game in pairs if everyone agrees not to cheat :-)

65 Intermediate to upper-intermediate question cards for speaking prompts
Use this set of INTERMEDIATE to UPPER-INTERMEDIATE FRENCH conversation prompt cards to get even your most timid students talking to each other in French. These 65 question cards are terrific for discussion and journal writing prompts. Each and every card is unique. Some are more advanced than others. Since there are so many of them you can easily print them, cut them out, and then sort them into stacks of different levels of difficulty for years and years of no-prep activities.
These speaking and writing prompt cards are meant for SECONDARY education and will not necessarily be a good fit for primary. The cards are in FRENCH only.
This activity is perfect for small groups or as a whole class activity. Use these cards as a review and vocabulary builder An easy to project PDF with only one card per page is included in case you want to work on the questions as a class without printing and cutting out the cards.
Included:
65 question cards
Easy to project PDF file (one card per page)
There are many ways you can use this set of 65 speaking cards:
➤ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions.
➤ Use as a warm-up speaking activity or ice breaker 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 their answers including reasons for their preferences.
➤ 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.
➤ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.
➤ Use the cards as a getting to know you activity or ice breaker at the beginning of the year or at a French club event.
➤ Great resource for tutoring sessions.
French partitive articles and other forms of DE complete lesson - DE LA - DE L’ - DU - DES - DE - D’
We all know how difficult it can be for students to know when to use the correct form of DE when they don’t know all of the rules and when they’ve not had enough practice. This is a complete lesson plan that you can even use on a day when you can’t be at school and you have a sub who isn’t a French teacher. This resource includes a 30 minute video lesson.
There is a one page printable study guide with rules and examples to accompany the video lesson, and the best part is the set of 100 numbered practice cards and answer key that will give your students tons of opportunities to practice.
This lesson focuses on using DE or D’ before adjectives that come before the noun, the partitive with masculine, feminine, singular, and plural nouns, using DE or D’ after different forms of negation, using DE after certain verbs when followed by an infinitive, and using DE or D’ with expressions of quantity, and I’ve included a few tricky ones which do not use DE when referring to specific nouns, and that’s mentioned in the video lesson.
I’ve included a set of 100 printable cards that you can cut out, and if you prefer a paperless version I’ve also included a PDF with only one card per page to project as a whole class activity or for students to use on tablets or computers.

Half of the cards in each set use negation (ne…pas / ne…jamais / ne…pas encore) and the other half do not. One set of cards includes hints as to what the infinitives mean as well as an English translation, and the other set does not. I like to let my students use the cards with the hints as they’re becoming comfortable with the rules and the infinitives used on the cards. Once they’ve gone through the set a few times I like to switch to the set with no hints. They’ll learn so many more regular verbs than they ever would in a textbook.
Included:
➯ 75 practice cards with translations in English
➯ 75 practice cards without English translations
➯ Answer key and student response sheet
You also get paper free sets that students can open up on their devices as well as sets with 4 cards per page that you can print and cut to have students work with them either individually or with partners / small groups.
