Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Produce the futur simple of recevoir for any subject pronoun on demand

  • Work in the other direction as well, naming a subject that fits a given futur simple form

  • Recognise where recevrez and recevrons, or recevra and recevras, differ by a single sound

  • Read simple French game instructions - avance, recule, rejoue, tu perds ton tour - without translation

Teaching tips

  • The board mixes two directions of the same drill, so a player never knows whether the next square will ask for the verb or for the subject - worth pointing out before the first turn

  • Ambiguity is built in and useful: a square reading RECEVRA can be answered with il, elle or on, and RECEVRONT with ils or elles, which is a good moment to ask for all the possibilities rather than one

  • Everything on the board is in French, including the hazard squares, so a quick pass over avance, recule, rejoue and tu perds ton tour turns the game itself into reading practice

  • The board carries no equipment list, so decide in advance what players will move with and how they will move - a die, a spinner or a card draw all work with a thirty-seven-square track

Skills covered

  • Futur simple conjugation of recevoir - all six forms appear on the board and each is called for repeatedly as players land on new squares.

  • Subject-verb matching in both directions - half the squares give the subject and want the verb, half give the verb and want the subject.

  • Distinguishing near-identical endings - recevrez against recevrons, and recevra against recevras, come up often enough that a player has to hear the difference.

  • Reading French classroom instructions - avance de 5 cases, recule de 5 cases, rejoue and tu perds ton tour are read and acted on without an English gloss.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How do the two kinds of square differ?

One kind prints a subject pronoun with the verb blank - JE ____, VOUS ____, ON ____ - and the other prints the conjugated form with the subject blank, as in ____ RECEVRA or ____ RECEVRONT. A player supplies whichever half is missing, so the same drill runs in both directions across one board.

Can a blank-subject square have more than one right answer?

Several can, and it is worth using. RECEVRA fits il, elle or on; RECEVRONT fits ils or elles. Asking a player for every subject that works turns a single square into a fuller check of the paradigm.

Is anything on the board in English?

No - the board is French throughout. The ends are marked dÉPART and FIN, the rule reads "Le premier joueur qui arrive à la fin gagne la partie!", and the special squares read AVANCE DE 5 CASES, RECULE DE 5 CASES, REJOUE !!! and TU PERDS TON TOUR.
