French: Dr and Mrs Vandertramp (Intransitive verbs)

(0)
Here is a fabulous resource for introducing 'etre' verbs to younger students. The children have pages and pages of colouring in to do and conjugating all 16 intransitive verbs will keep them occupied for quite a long time and very good practise! This activity can be set during class time or as homework. When the children complete the written drills in the workbook, each letter represents the number of missing letters in a word. This resource is geared towards learners of Key Stage 2 or Key Stage 3. It is good revision for Key Stage 4 learners as well, except I don't think they would appreciate the colouring in as much!

French: Expressions with avoir

This resource looks at phrases which use the verb 'avoir' as opposed to 'etre'.
