Passé composé - lesson 2

A really effective lesson to consolidate the students’ knowledge of passé composé with auxiliary avoir.

The lesson is also good as a first presentation of passé composé with auxiliary avoir, as it includes the whole grammar explanation.

Activities include:

• an initial word snake game that is an ideal starter to settle the pupils and get them thinking
• a reading task to recognise the passé composé in a text (and to work on general text comprehension skills)
• mini-whiteboard task with the challenge of extending into full sentences for higher achievers
• an English to French translation task
• a fun noughts and crosses game to check for understanding and retainment.
