These 3 French definite and indefinite articles worksheets are best for students who have been studying French for a while, but who still struggle with understanding how and when to use definite as opposed to indefinite articles. These exercises will help students remember why we need to use articles and the reason why choosing the correct one is so important.
The focus of these exercises is to choose correctly between definite and indefinite articles. Sometimes it is difficult when students don't know if the noun in question is masculine or feminine. That's why there is one worksheet that uses only masculine & singular nouns, another that uses only feminine & singular nouns, and one more that uses only plural nouns, masculine and feminine. You'll notice that the vocabulary used is more advanced than what it is when you first teach articles. These exercises are really to help non-beginners who still struggle to remember how and when to use definite and indefinite articles.
Included with this resource:
Exercise, LE vs UN + answer key and English translation
Exercise, LA vs UNE + answer key and English translation
Exercise, LES vs DES + answer key and English translation
Example:
_____ a. Dans ma rue, il y a __(UNE)___ boulangerie qui fabrique de très bonnes
pâtisseries.
_____ b. Où est __(LA)___ boulangerie Au bon pain, s’il vous plaît?
There's a lot of useful vocabulary for students to learn when we teach about LA MAISON. I have three activities that I love to use to get students talking and to reinforce all of the vocabulary they'll need to talk about house and home.
These are the three vocabulary speaking activities that are included in this bundle:
La Maison - French Taboo Speaking Game
J'ai... Qui a? French house and home vocabulary game - La maison
30 French Speaking Questions - À la maison
You will see that each activity is unique and will keep students interested while using vocabulary about LA MAISON in many different ways.
Playing French TABOO is a great way to get students to speak French and learn a lot of new vocabulary. This game is simple to modify and use with beginners and advanced students alike. The them of this TABOO game is LA MAISON. 32 French-English cards are included.

32 Taboo game cards to print, cut out and laminate if possible
*In the upper left corner there's a spot for you to punch holes in the cards so that you can then attach them with a ring for no prep use every time!
Object of the game:
One player tries to get his teammate to guess the word at the top of a card. The player must give clues, but he can't use any of the Taboo words in his description. The taboo words are written beneath the word at the top of the card. Teams score points for each word successfully guessed. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Beginner students should be allowed to use the TABOO words printed on the cards. This will encourage them to use new vocabulary and will help them in forming sentences to use as clues.

This is a really fun game to practice with your students who are learning vocabulary about HOUSE AND HOME, and it involves NO PREP. I've included both a beginner and intermediate version of the game. The beginner version has the words written out and the intermediate version only shows pictures. Have a look at the thumbnails to see what they look like.
Each version includes 32 cards. Depending on class size you could either give each student more than one card or have them play with a partner. I recommend printing out and laminating these cards if possible so that you can use them over and over again.
Here's how this activity works. Once each student has a card (or cards), the one who has the card that says I'LL BEGIN starts the game. He says, for example, I'll I have the fireplace. Who has the window? The person who has the card with a window on it says, I have the window. Who has the curtains? And so the activity goes on until the last card is called and that student's card will say, That's the end!
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. If the vocabulary is completely new you could start out with the beginner deck and as the words become more familiar you could move on to the intermediate level. It's really a lot of fun, and though you can play with younger students the older ones love this game just as much.
