French: General lesson on irregular verbs in the present tense

Here is a resource which looks at the formation of a wide range of irregular verbs in French. This resource details in step by step form as to how to form the conjugation of irregular verbs. There are also thinking opportunities for students to conjugate irregular compound verbs. I have also attached a crossword if your students complete the work in this resource.

I have also included a blockbusters game in the theme of irregular verbs. The rules are as follows:

The idea of the game is to score a line through, blocking one’s opponent in the process. A through line can either be completed horizontally or vertically.

Whichever hexagon one chooses, that person has to rule one dice and the number indicated on the dice will determine which subject he/she must conjugate with the verb. The numbers indicated on the dice are as follows:

1. Je
2. Tu
3. Il
4. Nous
5. Vous
6. Ils

For example, if ‘dire’ is selected and the number shown on the dice is a ‘1’, that person will then have to conjugate ‘dire’ with ‘je’. If the player gives the correct answer, he/she can claim that square. If the answer is wrong, the turn then goes to the other team players.

Happy teaching and learning!
