FRENCH ÊTRE & AVOIR WORD SEARCHES

ELEMENTARY FRENCH PRIMARY FRENCH IMMERSION TEN FRENCH VERBS WORD SEARCHES - DIFFERENTIATED WITH ANSWER KEYS - PERFECT FOR DEVELOPING LANGUAGE SKILLS AS WELL AS INTRODUCING AND PRACTICING VERB CONJUGATION IN FRENCH I use word searches a lot in my languages classroom - they're ideal for encouraging students to engage with the written word in French, and for building vocab. I differentiate the grids, so that there is plenty of increasing challenge, that I give students time to work through - this way I can be sure that all my students are motivated to progress.

These word searches I've found really useful when introducing the concept of verb conjugation in French - we do lots of comparison with English, and discuss both similarities and differences - this helps students think about patterns and how languages work in general.

There are 5 French-French grids, and 5 English-French grids - this gets students applying French a little differently. There's additional consolidation too, as I've put a verb list in each grid that students have to complete. I always give answer keys - for me, that's an essential part of the learning - they give students an extra opportunity to engage with language, and they really enjoy checking their own and each others' work. For my beginner French learners, I tend to use landscape format, and with a single grid per page. I've found this is the best way as students begin to familiarize themselves with the new language. We use the word searches as starters, refreshers, plenaries or fun-time fillers at any time during the school year, as well as when we're working on the verbs themselves.
