Use this set of TRUE or FALSE speaking prompt cards to get even your most timid students talking to each other and getting to know each other better. These 50 true or false cards are terrific for sparking conversations and students think it is a really fun game. Use them at back to school as an ice-breaker so that students can get to know one another or at any time during the year when you need an enrichment activity.
The cards are perfect to use as a community building exercise in any subject. Not only will your students get to know each other, but they’ll think the general knowledge trivia questions are a lot of fun. You may want to have students work with a partner if you’re making a game out of it so that they can help each other out with the correct answers to the false statements.
This no prep activity is perfect for small groups or centers or for club activities and enrichment.

How to play SCOOT
Response sheet to use in SCOOT activity
There are many ways you can use this set of 50 true or false cards:
➤ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions. When a statement is said to be false, students have to then correct the statement to make it true. Simple negation is fine if you say so, but if you want to up the game and make it a real challenge have students correct the sentences with the correct information! Answer key is provided for small group work or centers.
➤ Use as a warm-up speaking activity with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.
➤ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out correct answers to false statements.
➤ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.
➤ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.
➤ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer true or false and to correct the false statements. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question. All cards are numbered so it is simple to stay organized. Full instructions are included.
➤ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.
➤ Use the cards as an icebreaker activity at the beginning of the school year or right after school holidays.
➤ Great resource for tutoring sessions and vocabulary building.
French Pronouns Y and EN - 75 Practice Cards
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.
Each card indicates the tense to be used: présent, passé composé, futur proche
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 Y or EN. A two page answer key is provided. I recommend printing them on the front and back side of one sheet of paper so that you can easily distribute them to students so that they can check their 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.
French Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns - 75 Practice Cards
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.
Each card indicates the tense to be used: présent, passé composé, futur proche
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 a direct or indirect object pronoun. A two page answer key is provided. I recommend printing them on the front and back side of one sheet of paper so that you can easily distribute them to students so that they can check their 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.

PRÉSENT - JE - PARLER - MARIE

French Passé Composé être ou avoir 50 Practice cards
This is a set of 50 practice cards to help your students practice and master using 50 verbs - regular, irregular and reflexive - in the passé composé with both helping verbs. This set of cards provides an excellent way to review forming the passé composé your more advanced students who know avoir and être as a helping verb. Each card displays a sentence in French in the present tense that students should transform in the passé composé. You can also use a s a written test to check for agreements.
L’heure - Telling Time in French - 12 & 24 Hour Clock Battleship Games - BUNDLE
Use this classic game format to have your students practice telling time in French using 12 hour and 24 hour clocks. These are NO PREP activities, just print and go. 10 versions of the game are included in this bundle.
Students randomly place ships on their grid at the top of the sheet by drawing filled in circles. The number of circles for each of their six battleships is indicated at the top of the page. As they try to discover the location of their opponent’s ships, they use the grid on the bottom of the sheet to keep track. Instructions are provided in English on each page. Have a look at the preview to see what these games look like.
A list of hours is written in the left column, and minutes are written on the top in numeric form. Students randomly match the hours on the left with minutes at the top.
There is not an answer key included with this resource due to the number of possible responses. These games will give your students a chance to use vocabulary for telling time with a 12 hour clock such as: et quart, moins le quart, et demie, moins vingt, etc. The set which uses the 24 hour clock will be a good reminder not to use that vocabulary and to say the actual numbers.
How to play:
Print out one page of the version of this game that you want to use per student. Students draw circles to represent their boats on the grid at the top of the game board. Students play against each other to try to find and eventually sink their opponent’s boats.
Eight hours are written in the vertical column and minutes are written in the boxes at the top. To choose a square, the player must say an hour on the left along with minutes at the top.
All of the vocabulary they’ll need is written right on the game sheet. Each game sheet includes two battleship grids, one for the student and one for keeping track of guesses.
French Subjunctive Practice Cards - Il faut que
This set of 50 study cards is meant to help students practice and master forming the French present subjunctive. Each card provides a sentence with a blank where the verb should be. The verb to use is written in the infinitive form at the top of each card. 25 cards begin with Il faut que, and 25 begin with Il ne faut pas que.
Students practice using regular and irregular verbs in the subjunctive, and the English translations provided on the answer key will be most helpful as they come across new vocabulary and ways of saying things. None of the English translations begin with It is necessary that, because that isn’t the best way to say these sentences in English. Students will gain better knowledge of why the subjunctive is used by working with so many different examples.

❖ Advanced French Grammar: 50 Pronoun Challenge Cards ❖
These 50 cards will provide your advanced French students a good challenge while practicing and reviewing pronouns. Many resources only include basic pronouns and don’t offer enough of a challenge. This is why I’ve created this set of cards. Each card includes instructions, a sentence to restate or rewrite using pronouns where indicated, a list of the types of pronouns students can choose from, and the answer is located upside down at the bottom of each card. This will allow students an opportunity to either work individually or in small groups and check their work as they go. Each card is numbered in case you decide to play a game and need that, but otherwise there is no order in which the cards must be used. I’ve laminated my set so that I can pull them out time and again for a quick pronoun review. There are enough of them that students won’t necessarily see the same ones over and over every time you pull them out. Great for test review or for seniors after a long break. Click here for more French pronoun resources.
The following types of French pronouns are covered in this resource:
⭐Reflexive pronouns
⭐Disjunctive pronouns
⭐Indirect object pronouns
⭐Direct object pronouns
⭐Adverbial pronouns
⭐Relative pronouns
⭐Demonstrative pronouns
⭐Possessive pronouns
French verb FALLOIR - Present tense with indirect object pronouns
This French lesson is for intermediate learners who have learned IL FAUT and INDIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS. It is meant to show the many ways to use the verb FALLOIR - NEED without using the subjunctive. Students will learn the different meanings this verb can have and how to easily start speaking more like a French person in terms of expressing what they need (instead of using AVOIR BESOIN DE and DEVOIR).
Here’s what’s included:
Video tutorial - 23 minutes
Thorough 1 page study guide - PDF
80 practice cards using FALLOIR + numbered answer key
This resource includes two versions of the 80 practice cards. One version has four cards per page that you can print and cut them out in case you want your students to work with a partner or in small groups. The other version is a PDF with only one card per page so that you can either project them for a whole class activity or have students practice on their tablets or computers.
This resource includes a video lesson which you may or may not choose to use, but even if you want to teach the lesson yourself I think you and your students will appreciate the one page study guide that is included. I’ve put all of the important information from my video lesson on it as well as some helpful hints.
The 80 practice cards will help students to know how to talk about what they must do, what they have to do, and what they need.
French Imperfect Tense Verb Race Game
Verb Race is a fun and very exciting way to practice imperfect conjugations. Your students are going to love this set of 75 French verbs to use in the fast moving verb race game. This set includes 75 common -ER, -IR and -RE verbs.
Classic verb race involves dividing the class into teams and one person from each team goes up to the board to conjugate faster than everyone else. I’ve included full instructions, tips and rules with this resource. Verb Race has always been a huge favorite in my classroom.
In classic Verb Race it is usually the teacher who moderates the game, but in the instructions I’ll explain in great detail how you can play a student led game so that even your weakest students can participate and learn a ton.
You can easily make a stack of -ER, -IR and -RE verbs using them as separate games until all three sets have been learned at which point you can put them back into one big stack.

75 numbered calling cards with answers
75 numbered calling cards without answers

This is a set of 30 French FUTUR ANTÉRIEUR tense task cards + powerpoint that you can use in a number of ways with your students.
Each card has a sentence written in the futur simple and your students must transform the sentence to the futur antérieur. This is a nice cooperative speaking activity or if you choose you can use the task cards as a written assignment. A student response sheet is included if you decide to use the cards this way. I'm including a powerpoint version of the cards should you want to project them and have the whole class work together.
There's a nice mixture of common regular and irregular verbs to work with. There are verbs using both avoir and être as helping verb as well as a few reflexives (even two that don't require making agreement on the past participle as a challenge).
Students can work with a partner as a cooperative activity and to practice speaking or they can work individually to practice writing. Task cards are a nice alternative to worksheets which can sometimes seem tedious or boring.
Just print, cut out and laminate these cards and you're ready to go, no prep for years to come! If you look in the upper left corner you'll see a space where you can neatly punch a hole in each card and then connect them with a keyring. This really makes using these task cards easy enough to decide on using at the drop of a hat, and they make for fantastic review.
