This resource is a presentation introducing hobbies / free time activities in the present tense in French. The vocabulary is introduced and this is followed by board games to be played to practise the vocabulary in the context of speaking and listening skills. Introducing the vocabulary and playing the games would be enough for an entire lesson. SImply print the ‘board’ slide for each group and use dice (or print the templates included). Best played in groups of two to four.

Various support and extension options are outlined in the powerpoint.

There are several variations that can be played:

  1. Play in the present tense, asking and answering questions about what you do in your free time.
  2. Play in the past tense to practise using past forms.
  3. Play in the future tense.
  4. Play using the mixed tenses dice to practise all three tenses.
  5. Play using the ‘additional detail’ dice to encourage longer answers (e.g. ‘with whom?’ ‘Where?’ ‘When?’ ‘How often?’)
  6. Play using different tenses and extra detail.
  7. Play using the help sheet for support.
  8. Play using either the simple or harder version of the playing board.

Depending on the variation used, this game can be adapted for KS2, KS3 or KS4. It is a great way to improve confidence with speaking and listening skills. It also makes a fun revision activity before tests and exams.

Print the boards and dice onto card or laminate so they can be used with other classes.
