French Past Conditional Lesson - Should have, Could have, Would have
This resource includes the following:
➯ A set of 25 numbered cards with sentences written in English that students will then translate to French. A numbered answer key is also included so that students can work on their own. It is expected that students also know some other past tenses and some simple pronouns that are normally taught way before the past conditional.
➯ A one page printable reference guide that folds into a booklet that students can use for easy reference. The booklet includes all of the essential information needed for saying should have, could have, and would have.
➯ A two page study guide on forming the present conditional that highlights how to say should have, could have, and would have. If you do double-sided printing you can still just pass out one sheet of paper. The study guide is jam packed with everything you need to know about the past conditional.
Here’s the link to my video tutorial on how to use should have, could have, and would have in the past conditional. The study guide included with this resource follows the information given in the video lesson.
These printable handouts accompany a video about summer holidays in France on YouTube. The video is not my property and is not downloadable with this resource. You will need to watch it online. The video is about 7 minutes long, and this resource includes one page with 12 questions in English to share with your students for discussion about summer holidays prior to watching the video. The second page includes 12 questions written in English to be answered while watching the video. There is a vocabulary list in French and English of all 44 French words introduced in the video. Finally, to wrap up the lesson there is a fun crossword puzzle to complete. The clues are given in English and the answers are in French.
These resources make it easy to transform a short 7 minute video into a comprehensive cultural lesson that you’ll feel good about using with your students. The video is presented by Géraldine from Comme une Française. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW2pjyj7vYg.

Free French School Lunch Menu #8
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.

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 dreams. Students will talk all about the house, etc. of their worst nightmares 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 worst nightmares. 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!
Here are the 15 conversation starters:
