A few years ago, I noticed that my students couldn't remember where to put "ne...pas" in a sentence. It's easy to remember the placement of 'ne...pas' in the present tense, but my students struggled with placement in the passé composé, etc. This simple physical technique that I made up is catchy and easy to remember!

I developed this resource to help my students have something to talk about during tutoring sessions. Instead of the normal 'How was your day/What happened today?' questions, I created an easy scenarios for students to discuss. Students use a pair of dice to find the topic of conversation. For example, a RED die with a roll of 1 might mean the subject of the conversation is "JE" and a GREEN die with a roll of 4 might mean for the student to tell something that happened using the past tense. Included are: 1 easy game in English and 3 in French (with varying levels of difficulty)

Need something simple for the student who needs the big picture and how the different indicative tenses compare to each other? This is a visual comparison of the different forms of the imperative, showing the conjugations and a timeline that puts it all into perspective.
