French Connect 4 Game - Present Subjunctive - Irregular Verbs

This is a fun, quick, and easy way to have your students review the present subjunctive of irregular verbs.

In order to win, students connect four boxes by filling them in with the correct conjugations of the eight verbs listed at the bottom of the game board (see the verbs used below). Subject pronouns are listed on the left.

Students take turns filling in boxes until four are connected. At this point, they can check their work using the answer key provided. If any of the conjugations are incorrect, the game continues. Full instructions are included.

Verbs used:

  • ÊTRE

  • ALLER

  • AVOIR

  • FAIRE

  • POUVOIR

  • SAVOIR

  • VOULOIR

  • VALOIR

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Conjugate irregular French verbs (être, aller, avoir, faire, pouvoir, savoir, vouloir, valoir) correctly in the present subjunctive across all subject pronouns.

  • Self-check subjunctive conjugation accuracy against a provided answer key during gameplay.

Teaching tips

  • Pair students and give each pair one copy of the blank game board, as the instructions specify.

  • Keep the completed answer-key grid available for students to self-check once four boxes are connected.

  • Review the present-subjunctive forms of all eight irregular verbs before play, since the game assumes students can already produce them from memory.

Skills covered

  • Present-subjunctive conjugation — students write the correct subjunctive form of an irregular French verb for a given subject pronoun to claim a game board box.

  • Self-assessment — students compare their written conjugations against a completed answer key to verify accuracy.
