Intro to the perfect tense in French / passe compose

I have put two lessons worth of activities together here. I normally use these lessons with Y8/9 students who are seeing the past tense for the first time. I aim to explain how to form it to give them the freedom to be creative rather than teach set expressions.

The first lessons has slides on:
- starter to match up familiar and cognate infinitives
- list of phrases in present/past for students to identify and recognise patterns
-explanation of 3 parts of perfect tense (person or object, auxiliary verb, past participle) with animations
-links to YouTube videos to help with memorising avoir
-Whiteboard activities to practise writing short expressions eg. I played, he hid

The second lesson looks at irregular past participles:
-translation starter to recap last lesson
-table to complete with infinitives and past participles
-short phrases to practise as a class
-Connect 4 grid for pairwork
-Match-up exercise for recap of time phrases
-Translation exercise incorporating time phrases and past tense verbs.
-Possible extension to write own paragraph.
