Conjugate Vendre - Present Tense French Conjugation Board Game
This French board game for conjugating vendre in the present tense includes 37 numbered boxes. The first player to reach box 37 wins. There are a few tricks along the way, so getting to the end isn’t always so easy! Some boxes require students to conjugate the verb using the provided subject pronoun, and others require them to name the subject pronoun that matches the verb conjugation. Lots of repetition will really help them to memorize this very important verb!
In groups of two to four, players take turns rolling a die to move their pieces forward. Spaces are numbered to keep track of which way they’re moving. There are some spaces with special instructions:
Départ - Start
Avance de 5 cases - Move forward 5 spaces
Recule de 5 cases - Move backward 5 spaces
Rejoue - Play again
Tu perds ton tour - Lose a turn
Fin - End
For an extra challenge and to extend playing time, you can tell your students that they have to land directly on the last square and answer it correctly to win.
This resource includes the following:
➯ 1 page printable game board
Not included:
➯ 1 die per group
➯ Game tokens, 1 per player

L’heure - Telling Time in French - 12 & 24 Hour - J’ai . . . Qui a Games - BUNDLE
J’ai . . . Qui a games are a fun, quick, and easy way to have your beginner students review and practice telling time in French.
This bundle is 20% off and includes games using 12 and 24 hour clocks.
Each activity includes 21 cards. Depending on class size you can give each student more than one card or have them play in smaller groups. I recommend printing out and laminating these cards if possible so that you can use them over and over again.
The 12 hour clock set includes plenty of opportunities to use the following vocabulary: et demie, et quart, moins le quart, midi, minuit, moins vingt, etc. See the list of times used for the 12 hour and 24 hour clock games below or check out the previews to have a sneak peak at all of the cards.
How it works: Once each student has a card (or cards), the one who has the card that says Je commence le jeu begins the activity. He says, for example, Je commence le jeu. Qui a 3h30? The person who has the card with J’ai 3h30 on it says, J’ai 3h30. Qui a 7h15? And so the game goes on until the last card is called and that student’s card will say, J’ai _____. Le jeu est terminé!
Another idea is to prepare two sets of cards, divide your class into two groups and let each group have a go to see which team can get through the entire deck of cards the fastest. It’s a very engaging and fun activity!
Included:
21 black and white cards - 4 per page - 12 hour clock
21 black and white cards - 4 per page - 24 hour clock

French Freebie: Activity to get your students speaking
This resource is very similar to another one (also free) in which you’ll have students talking about the house, hotel, vacation, etc. of their worst nightmares. Students will talk all about the house, etc. of their dreams in this one. I like to use these resources one after the other while the content is still fresh, but the vocabulary will change dramatically when students shift from what they would love to what would give them nightmares!
This is a no prep, one page activity for intermediate to advanced level students, and the content is perfectly suitable both for primary (French immersion) and secondary curriculums. There are fifteen questions that will have them talking about, for example, the house of their dreams. This is meant to be a paired or small group activity, but it is NOT meant to just have students take turns describing what they would love. The idea is to imagine that everyone in the group is going to live in the house together. There will probably be some things that everyone agrees on, and there will certainly be things they will disagree on. When I have my students do this activity, it’s always fun to watch them debate what is and what is not important. In the end, they can agree to disagree! My students really have a good time with this activity, and I love seeing the imagination that they have!

Free French School Menu #1
Have a look at what’s on the menu at my kids’ school in France. Cheese every day!! I’ll be adding more menus weekly as I receive them. There are so many things a French teacher could do with these in class.
It would be a fun cultural study to look up images of some of these menu items to show students what they look like and if they eat anything similar at their schools or homes. This could lead to a discussion on the length of time French students typically have to eat and rest as compared to students and teachers in your school.
