FRENCH SPEAKING GAMES BUNDLE
Printable Game Cards for Oral Communication Practice
Jeux de communication orale | French oral communication games: get 9 sets of speaking games, similar to J'ai ... Qui a ...?, to have your students working on their oral communication skills! These printable games will help your students speak more because they’ll be putting vocabulary and sentence structures into use.
Use these French games in the beginning of a lesson as a speaking warm-up, at the end of a lesson as a wrap-up, to practice or review a sentence structure or group of vocabulary words, or even just for fun (while still getting kiddos to practice speaking )!
The game plays like “J’ai… Qui a…?” but with different sentence structures.
For example (1st set):
Student 1 has a card that reads: Je joue du piano. Qui joue au baseball?
Student 2 has the next card that reads: Je joue au baseball. Qui joue de la flûte?
and so on.
For example (2nd set):
Student 1 has a card that reads: Je joue de la ________. Qui joue au volleyball?
Student 2 has the next card that reads: Je joue au ____________. Qui joue du triangle?
and so on.
• Students complete the sentences based on the illustrations on the cards.
This bundle includes 9 sets, focused on different sentence stems and vocabulary themes:
- Verbs in -ER
- Je mange + FRUITS
- Je mange + VEGETABLES
- Je vais + EN VILLE
- Je parle avec + LES MÉTIERS
- Je vois + LES ANIMAUX + PRÉPOSITIONS
- Je fais + SPORTS
- Je joue + SPORTS/MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
- Les vêtements + COÛTER
Each set also includes a "lexique" page, which is a sheet with images and the vocabulary words related to the set.
There are 2 sets of 24 cards in each set. The sentences are the same in both sets, but the order is different. Also, the second set is slightly more challenging because students need to complete the answers based on the illustration.
"What do I do if I have MORE than 24 students?"
You could pair students up and the pair gets one card, OR
You could make two copies of the cards and divide students into two groups, each with a deck.
"What do I do if I have FEWER than 24 students?"
You could give more than one card to some students, OR
You could keep a few of the cards to yourself and play the game along with students.
In color and BW.
What are teachers saying about this resource?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sara K. says, "These are excellent speaking and listening exercises. They are great to use for a quick warm up or closure to a lesson! Everyone has to pay attention because each student’s statement depends on the next!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Vanessa D. says, "My students love when I use this resource to begin a French class. It gets them ready to communicate and they like trying to beat their last time with each set of cards."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Madame F. says, "We have the best time in class playing these games! I appreciate that students need to both speak and listen to one another so that they can hear when someone says what they have on their card. This is a good way to have a class activity that involves everyone at the same time, even in larger classes. The activity also permits students to get assistance from other students and help one another along, so it is cooperative in a way that builds confidence. We play games on Fridays and these games are definitely a favorite with my classes."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Andrew van T. says, "This is great for my Core French students who struggle to participate and need support and encouragement. Having the pictures and sentences makes them feel supported and they work together to say the sentences."
