Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Produce and respond to past-tense (passé composé) statements in spoken French

  • Sustain a turn-taking speaking game entirely in the target language

Teaching tips

  • Pick the deck that fits your class: French-only for immersion, the bilingual version for newer learners who need the English line

  • Print the black-and-white version for class sets and keep one color set laminated for repeated use

  • Play in small circles so every student voices multiple 'je n'ai jamais' turns per round

Skills covered

  • Spoken French production — students ask and answer never-have-I-ever prompts aloud in the target language.

  • Past-tense usage — the prompts use never-have-I-ever statements with avoir or être and past participles, giving practice with past-tense forms in context.

  • Listening comprehension — players must understand classmates' prompts to respond truthfully.
