French Pronoun 300 Practice Cards BUNDLE: Direct, Indirect, Y & EN
This bundle is a set of 300 French pronoun practice cards. These cards are written in the present, futur proche, and passé composé tenses and do not include negation.
There are 75 cards to practice using the French pronouns Y and EN in three different tenses. These practice cards will help students better understand when to use Y and EN in many different situations. It’s helpful to use this stack of cards when you’re really focusing on Y and EN.
There are 75 cards to practice using French direct and indirect object pronouns in three different tenses. These practice cards focus on using: LE - LA - LES - LUI - LEUR. These practice cards will help students better understand when to use LE or LA to mean HIM or HER instead of LUI, and LES to mean THEM instead of LEUR. It’s nice to have a stack of cards that only deals with these five direct object pronouns.
There is also a stack of 150 cards in which all of the cards from the 2 previous stacks are mixed up, and there’s no indication whether students should use LUI - LEUR - LE - LA - LES - Y - EN. This is a real challenge, and it’s fantastic for test review.
Each card indicates a subject pronoun, verb in the infinitive form, and another word or words to complete the sentence. Students first form a sentence using the elements provided, then they restate the sentence using either LUI - LEUR - LE - LA - LES - Y - EN. A four page answer key is provided. I recommend printing them on the front and back side of two sheets of paper so that you can easily distribute them to students for them to check their own work. This is an activity that students can work on alone or in pairs or small groups. My students really like to do this activity with a partner. One student says the sentence without the pronoun, then the other one says it with the pronoun. They take turns going back and forth.
EXAMPLES:
PRÉSENT - JE - ALLER - LA FAC
Je vais à la fac.
J’y vais.
PASSÉ COMPOSÉ - TU - FAIRE - DU PIANO
Tu as fait du piano.
Tu en as fait.
FUTUR PROCHE - ON - PARLER - DE NOËL
On va parler de Noël.
On va en parler.
PRÉSENT - JE - PARLER - MARIE
Je parle à Maris.
Je lui parle.
PASSÉ COMPOSÉ - TU - MANGER - PIZZA
Tu as mangé la pizza.
Tu l’as mangée.
FUTUR PROCHE - VOUS - FINIR - DEVOIRS
Vous allez finir vos devoirs.
Vous allez les finir.

Each of the fifty writing activities in this program includes five pre-writing and writing activities for Monday through Friday. These writing prompts are a great way both to introduce and to review writing.

Here’s how this writing program works:
✍Lundi: Je dessine - Give students a drawing page with a writing prompt at the top. This will have them beginning to think about the writing theme for the week and is their first pre-writing assignment. Kids love drawing, and the pictures they draw will later serve as inspiration!
✍Mardi: Mon livret de vocabulaire - Each student receives a booklet to help them explore the vocabulary related to the week’s writing theme. The front page includes the writing prompt of the week and an image. The second page includes over 80 frequently used French words. Page three lists 12 words that go along with the theme of the week, and the back page has space for ten words that students have either thought of on their own or looked up in the dictionary. The booklet is a simple one page printable that you can either fold in advance or have students do it on their own. Kids write their name on the front cover and you could have them color it.
✍Mercredi: Vocabulaire - Students go back to their vocabulary booklets from Tuesday and choose ten words that they will include in their rough draft. The words they choose can be a combination of words they have chosen and themed vocabulary that was already written in the booklet. They then write down the chosen words on their vocabulary page that says “ Mots de vocabulaire utiles: J’utiliserai ces mots dans mon paragraphe.”
✍Jeudi: Mon brouillon - Students write a rough draft of their paragraph using the vocabulary words selected on Wednesday. The brouillon page includes a 5 point checklist at the top for students to evaluate their work for themselves before writing the final copy on Friday. This will motivate students to look over their work and make corrections.
✍Vendredi: Ma copie propre - The fifth and final step in this writing program is to write the final copy. Students should feel very confident in writing about this week’s theme by now. At the top of the final copy page they’ll see the writing prompt and question words that they can ask themselves while writing: qui - quoi - quand - où - pourquoi - comment

✎ Daily 5 rotations
✎ Homework
✎ Writing centers

✮ French Taboo Game - Animals - Les Animaux ✮
Playing games and having fun is when learning really happens in French class. I love to play the game Taboo with my students. French Taboo is a game that is easy to modify and use with beginners and advanced students alike. This taboo speaking game is includes 75 cards about animals: pets, farm animals, wild animals, sea life, insects, etc. There is a set written in English and French and a set in French only. Great for immersion schools!
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 underlined 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. The teams take turn guessing and verifying no Taboo words have been used. You can also play this game in pairs if everyone agrees not to cheat :-)
Beginner students should be allowed to use the French 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.
You can also have your students study the vocabulary on the cards! While playing this game, your students will be working with 375 French words!
