Practice at Home: Les verbes Review Games

Practice at Home: Les verbes
Dear Parents,
In French we have several different verbs. Please use these sheets to help practice the
vocabulary at home. Included here are some flashcards and several Review Games to help you help
your child(ren) practise some of the verbs we have learned so far this year. All of these verbs have
been learned using gestures/actions. The pictures are clues that might help your child(ren)
remember the meaning by giving visual clues as well. Please remember that in our French class we
generally do not focus on English to French translations when practising our vocabulary. Rather, the
English-French translations included in this Home Practice package are meant to aid you in better
understanding the words and so you can help your child(ren) when stuck. Please refer to the
vocabulary list below for reference.
Vocabulary: See list on following 8 pages.
Review Games:
Cut apart the flashcards to play the following games:
1.
Flashcards (on a separate pdf file)
• Use the cards as straight forward flashcards—where you have your child look at the picture and
say the French word, or have them select the picture card from a face-up pile for the French word
on the flashcards.
2. Memory
• Flip the picture and word cards upside down. Flip over two cards at a time and try to find a match.
3. Go fish/Va pêcher
• Use the picture cards and their matching word. Each person starts with 5 cards. Try to find the
match to the cards in your hand by asking the other players for that card. Ask for the card in
French—example: I have the picture card of “Il trouve” in my hand and I ask for “Il trouve” or
“trouver” from another player; I have the word “Il mange” in my hand so I ask for (the picture
card of) “manger/Il mange” from another player. If the other player does not have the requested
card, pick a card up from the pile (go fish). If you match all the cards in your hand and there are
still cards in the pile, select 3 more cards from the pile and continue playing until all the cards have
been matched. The player with the most matches wins.
4. Mix it up and Race to Match
• Put the cards face up and mixed up in a pile. The race is to try to match all the cards correctly.
Time your child and record the time. Have your child try to beat his/her time.
5. Try to get your child to think of a sentence using the verb s/he selects from the pile. Example: s/he
selects the card with “Il boit” and s/he creates the sentence: “Il boit de l'eau.” (Encourage your child
to use words s/he knows to create the sentence.)
Thank you for your help by practising at home.
