A worksheet collection suitable for upper KS2 or KS3, this collection is designed to reinforce pupils’ understanding of adjectival agreement in French.
The subjunctive is tricky to recognise and even trickier to use. These resources break down the topic into manageable chunks, each focussing on a different aspect of the topic and each comprising a presentation with an asssociated worksheet for student practice.
The presentation contains karaoke-style scrolling text with sound , plus two slides showing how ‘avoir’ is used to talk about age and about animals. These slides have optional sound to assist with pronunciation of the text.).
The song is good for learning as a two or four part round (see teacher notes). A copy of the printed music is included, indicating entry point of each group of singers.
There are two fill-the-gap worksheets for follow up written work - one on age and the other on animals. The task in each is to complete a sentence by supplying the correct form of ‘avoir’.
A great classroom game for 8 players or teams. There are 6 single jeopardy topics (clothes, food, regular -er verbs, Easter, numbers, common words) and six grammar-based double jeopardy topics. The final jeopardy question has a betting component where contestants can win or lose as much as they like. There is an optional timer at the bottom of the question slides, and upbeat music that could really get on the your nerves (turn the volume down!). You probably need to allow about half an hour to get through to the end. Instructions and optional settings are included, as is a link to the Excel template which you could use to make your own version of the game. Make sure you enable macros on your computer, or none of it will work!
