Subjonctif Irregular Verbs Connect 4 Game in French

About this resource

What's inside this resource

A Connect-4-style game board, "Puissance 4," has pairs of students take turns filling in boxes with correctly conjugated present-subjunctive forms of eight irregular French verbs — être, aller, avoir, faire, pouvoir, savoir, vouloir, and valoir — across all eight subject pronouns (je, tu, il, elle, nous, vous, ils, elles). Players may only build upward from an already-played box, and the first to connect four boxes in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, wins; a how-to-play sheet explains setup, turn order, and win conditions. The file includes a second, fully completed version of the same grid with every correct conjugation already filled in (e.g., je sois, tu sois, il/elle soit for être), which the instructions identify as the answer key students use to check their work mid-game. The set is credited to Love Learning Languages, copyright 2021.

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.
