There are many ways you can use this set of 83 speaking cards:

➤ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions.

➤ Use as a warm-up French speaking activity or ice breaker with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.

➤ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out their answers including reasons for their preferences.

➤ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer in French.

➤ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.

➤ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer the question. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question.

➤ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.

➤ Use the cards as a getting to know you activity or ice breaker at the beginning of the year or at a French club event.

➤ Great resource for French tutoring sessions.

What teachers are saying about these conversation cards:

I love these! Thank you so much for putting these together. Printed and put on rings they are a great filler for any time.

Tu m'as sauvé beaucoup de temps! C'est exactement ce que je cherchais pour stimuler la conversation parmi mes élèves.

I used these conversation started for a French Café inspired conversation block, and they worked wonderfully! I set up checkered table cloths and had a few cards on each table for students to discuss. The topics were varied, yet also simple enough for elementary students to share their thoughts and opinions!
