Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students can correctly conjugate être, aller, avoir, and faire in the present tense across all eight subject pronouns (je, tu, il, elle, nous, vous, ils, elles).
Students can self-check and correct their own conjugations using the provided answer key.
Teaching tips
Have students play in pairs, with the youngest player starting, as described in the included instructions, to keep gameplay self-directed and low-prep.
Keep the answer key visible or accessible at each pair's table so students can verify a completed row before claiming a win.
Because the board only requires writing the correct verb form and no new vocabulary, this game works well as a quick warm-up or review activity once the four target verbs have already been introduced.
Skills covered
Present-tense verb conjugation — producing the correct form of être, aller, avoir, and faire for a given subject pronoun.
Pronoun-verb agreement — matching each of the eight French subject pronouns to its correct conjugated verb form.
Self-assessment — using an answer key to verify and correct conjugation errors during gameplay.
