This is a set of 32 French relative pronouns task cards focusing on QUI - QUE - OÙ - DONT - CE QUE - CE QUI - CE DONT. Task cards are a nice alternative to classic worksheets. Each card contains a fill in the blank sentence with multiple choice answers. Students can either practice individually or with a partner. A student response sheet is provided if you would like your students to write their answers.
These task cards provide a quick NO PREP activity. Just print, laminate and cut out. I like to punch holes in the upper left corner and attach the cards with a keyring. You will be able to use these cards for years to come.
A classic worksheet is also provided in case you would like to use it as a quiz or homework assignment.
Included:
32 numbered task cards in black and white
32 numbered task cards in color
Classic worksheet version
Numbered answer key
Student answer sheet for recording responses
French connector words or linking words help more advanced students make their point and seamlessly transition from one sentence to another. Here is a list of some of the most common connector words in French and English, example sentences using connector words in French and English and 5 fill in the blank paragraphs with word banks. Answer sheet included.
These 8 sets of 30 speaking questions are just right for students who need to practice the FRENCH VERB TENSES, and they are a perfect no prep speaking activity for busy teachers. Each set of EST-CE QUE questions uses the TU form with verbs in the various tenses. In addition to regular and irregular -ER, -IR and -RE verbs I've also included many irregular verbs. This bundle give you 25% off the regular price.
There are 8 sets of cards included, one for each of the tenses listed below:
Futur proche
Futur simple
Passé Composé
Present
Imperfect
Conditional
Past Conditional
Present Subjunctive
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.
As your students learn more and more tenses you could easily create small groups, give each student in the group a different tense stack, and have them ask each other the same basic questions but in different tenses. That's a very effective review of verb forms!
