French avoir expressions speaking prompt cards, exercise, list and video
AVOIR expressions can be tricky, but can also be a lot of fun. This lesson focuses on learning 29 common avoir expressions. This lesson goes way beyond what you find in an average textbook. Here’s what’s included:
List of 29 expressions in French and English
20 sentence fill in the blank exercise and answer key
22 lower level speaking questions (present tense) listed on one page
22 lower level speaking question cards (the same questions in another format)
24 upper level speaking questions (many tenses) listed on one page
24 upper level speaking question cards (the same questions in another format)
Video lesson on avoir expressions
The video, exercise and questions go hand in hand, and can be very helpful on days when you’re going to be absent from school but would still like for your students to make progress with a sub. Speaking question cards are provided for lower and upper levels so you can use them with different classes. The cards are very useful for small group or paired work. Just print, cut them out and you’re ready to do. Don’t have time to cut out the cards? It happens, and that’s why I’ve included one page versions of the questions for a true no prep activity to practice speaking with avoir expressions.

Formation of the French subjunctive is the easy part. Learning how and when to use it correctly is when it gets a little tricky for our students. This is an activity on giving advice, suggestions and opinions using the French subjunctive.
Included you will find fourteen different situations to which your students will have to respond by either making a suggestion, giving your opinion, or giving advice of some kind.
Students will use the provided list of 24 expressions that must be followed by the French subjunctive to help them get started. 3 sample responses are provided for each of the 14 situations (to be used at your discretion, possible responses are provided in the answer section and the original is left open for students to use).
Sample situation: Ton meilleur ami doit déménager dans un autre pays, et tu vas lui manquer.
Quels conseils lui donnes-tu?
Sample response: Il est important que nous gardions le contact par Skype et que nous nous écrivions toutes les semaines sur Facebook.

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 those written beneath the word at the top of the card. Teams score points for each word successfully guessed, and the team with the most points wins.
