French Possessive Adjectives Jeopardy Game

French Possessive Adjectives Jeopardy Game

(0)
I call this game “Jeopardy”, but it’s my own version that I’ve worked out the kinks on for the last 15 years of playing it with my students. This is not a Powerpoint presentation. You have to write out the game on your whiteboard. It’s not just like the game show on television, and the answers don’t have to be given in the form of a question, unless you want to. My students absolutely love this game, and so do I. They get very excited about it and look forward to Jeopardy day toward the end of every chapter. This game would be wonderful after having spent time learning possessive adjectives in French. This version of the game focuses on using possessive adjectives with family members. I’ve spent years working out the best way to play this game in a classroom setting, and it works so well that I went into a lot of detail in the instructions. The game includes 5 categories, daily doubles, and final jeopardy. If you have any questions at all about the game, please do feel free to ask.

GCSE FRENCH: Futur simple speaking task cards

GCSE FRENCH: Futur simple speaking task cards

(0)
These 30 questions are just right for students who need to practice the FUTUR SIMPLE, and they are a perfect no prep speaking activity for busy teachers. Each EST-CE QUE question uses the TU form with verbs in the futur simple. In addition to regular and irregular -ER, -IR and -RE verbs I've also included many verbs with irregular stems. In order to avoid OUI and NON answers, each question also includes an interrogative word which is great practice in helping to remember what they mean and where they're placed in the sentence. Since all of the questions are asked in the TU form, all of the answers will be in the first person singular. This is so that students can really focus and get used to using these verbs when talking about themselves and when talking to a friend. Just cut out the 30 cards, punch holes in the spaces provided and attach the stack of cards with a key ring. It would be a great idea to print on card stock and laminate the cards before punching holes and attaching them. Super easy and no prep for years to come. Both black and white and color versions are included as well as a 2 page print out of the questions if you should decide to use them as a quiz or homework assignment. I am a firm believer that repetition is key in learning a language, and that's why I've created many different versions of these speaking cards. All of the cards ask the same basic questions, but each time in a different tense. My students really appreciate the familiarity of the cards even when learning a new tense.

French Prepositions of Location Reading Exercise and Writing Worksheet

(0)
As your students learn French prepositions of location it is nice to have several exercises and activities planned to get in as much practice as possible. This is a reading exercise about a tidy bedroom and a writing exercise about an untidy one. Give your students the list of French prepositions of location and provide them with the quizlet study set I’ve made to help them practice and master the new vocabulary. There is a paragraph to read about a tidy bedroom. The idea is to see if students can figure out what it means even if they don’t know all of the vocabulary. The prepositions of location are used as context clues. The next part of this activity is to have students write a paragraph of their own about the image provided featuring an untidy bedroom. A list of useful vocabulary is provided and a quizlet study set as well. This list of vocabulary itemizes everything you see in the bedroom so that students can focus on the writing activity rather than looking up words in the dictionary. Students write ten complete statements about the untidy bedroom.
