You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example,
Level 1 = put the cards into 3 columns: imperfect, present and future and discuss the pronunciation.
Level 2 = As Level 1 and then have quick fire questions from French to English, whereby 1 student closes their eyes and their partner reads out the French cards which the student must translate into English from memory.
Level 3 = As Level 2 but the quick fire questions are from English to French.
Following checking there are 2 fun games to play, either pelmenism or slap the card.

Expressions:
Dans le nord il sera ensoleillé
Dans le sud il sera nuageux
Dans l’est il y a un fort risque de pluie
Dans l’ouest il y aura des averses
Dans le centre il y aura des orages
et en Bretagne il y aura des éclaircies.
et en Normandie il y aura du brouillard.
et sur l’île de France il y aura du vent.
et à Paris il neigera.
et à Nice il fera beau.
et à Bordeaux les températures seront en baisse.
Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions and discuss pronunciation.
I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen.
I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the French version and then try to play the game saying the French phrases as far as possible from memory.
