Everyone loves a good game of BATTLESHIP, and the French classroom is a better place than any! You can use this classic game format to have your students practice the futur simple tense. This game is perfect for both core and immersion curriculums and everything written on the games is in French.
*There is not an answer key included with this resource due to the number of responses possible. I encourage you to allow your students to use a resource that you choose for them to check your answers.
Just print out one page of the version of this game that you want to use per student. Students place boats (which are squares on the game sheets that they will have darkened with a pencil) on the game board. Students play against each other to try to find and eventually sink their opponent’s boats.
Subject pronouns are written in the vertical column and infinitives are written in the boxes at the top. To choose a square, the player must say the subject and correct verb form in the imperfect tense. Another idea is to have students make simple sentences using the subject pronoun and verb of choice.
All of the vocabulary they’ll need is written right on the game sheet and it is all in French. Each game sheet includes two battleship grids and a line separating the two. Students can fold the paper on the line if they want to. One of the grids is for a player to place his boats and the other is to mark and keep track of his opponent.
This resource includes 5 versions of the game with both black and white and color copies and instructions on how to play.

Prendre - Apprendre - Comprendre - Surprendre - Reprendre - Dice Game - 6 Tenses
This easy to play 30 minute dice game is a fun way to practice the irregular French verbs PRENDRE - APPRENDRE - COMPRENDRE - SURPRENDRE - REPRENDRE in 6 different tenses (one game per tense with answer key is provided):
- present tense
- passé composé
- imperfect
- futur simple
- conditional
- present subjunctive
These five verbs are essential and often difficult for students to memorize since they're irregular, so I like to provide many different activities to keep it fun and fresh. You can start using this dice game with your beginner students and continue to use it to review these verbs as you teach new tenses.
My high school students love this dice game, and it can get very competitive if you decide to play it as a race (details are explained with the activity).
Students divide up into teams and play a dice game, the dice determining which subject and infinitive to conjugate in the indicated tense.

Keep your middle school and high school students active by playing the TWO EXTREMES game. The facilitator will use a stack of cards listing things, activities or places that fall at opposite ends of the spectrum, such as: salty or sweet, London or New York, Mac or PC.
The students start standing in a big group, but when each choice is read, they move to the side of the room that the facilitator indicates is associated with their choice (see the arrows on the cards). Those who can’t make up their mind or don’t have a preference remain in the center. Students will see all of the things that they have in common with their classmates and will likely learn some new vocabulary while they’re at it!
These cards are great for middle school or high school and can be used at any time, especially when everyone needs a break and needs to stand up and move around a bit.
This activity requires no teacher prep once the set of cards is printed and cut out. Don’t want to print or don’t have time to do so? That’s ok! There’s a PDF file with only one card per page that you can project and play as a class.
Included:

When you are teaching or reviewing the verb AVOIR and AVOIR EXPRESSIONS your students will have a great time practicing with this hands on game: QUEL DOMMAGE!! This is a review game in which students play by filling in the blanks with the verb avoir. You can use any tense with this game and review avoir expressions at the same time. There is an answer key in the present tense that students can use to check their work. Some sentences use simple negation. Perfect supplement for core French, French immersion and homeschool curriculums.
Using avoir expressions is essential to forming a strong base knowledge of French, yet they can be difficult to master without lots and lots of practice and review. You can pull this game out time and time again over the course of the years (use it when reviewing the verb avoir in any tense) as a no-prep activity. Detailed instructions on how to play are included so that even subs can have your students play this fun game when you need to be away.
How to play QUEL DOMMAGE:
All you have to do is print the game cards on heavy paper or card stock and cut them out. If you laminate them you'll have a no prep activity ready to go for years to come! Put all of the game pieces in a box and divide your students into small teams. Give each team gets a box of questions and a copy of the answer key.
Students fill in the blanks with the correct conjugation of the verb AVOIR and say the sentence correctly. When they are correct (their opponents or team members can verify responses on the provided answer key), they get to keep their game card. However, when they draw a QUEL DOMMAGE card they have to put all of their game cards back in the box. The student with the most game cards at the end is the winner.
Included:
5 QUEL DOMMAGE cards - You don’t have to include them all in the game if you feel there are too many.
30 numbered game cards - Black and white and color versions provided.

➤ 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.
➤ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer the question. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question.
➤ 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.
