Guess Who game activity for Descriptions & Adjectives in French
Need a fun activity to practice physical descriptions in French? This activity is a play on the "Guess who" game that we used to play, but with a twist! It is in French and students get to create their own cards based on the suggestions. This activity was a real hit with my middle school Core French students. I'm including some practice sheets (differentiated abilities) for students to get familiar with the skills and not need Google Translate to complete the task. "Est-ce que la personne est"

J'ai peur ! French no prep activities including audio & scripts
This is a wonderful no-prep mini-unit for French, that has listening, writing and speaking practice that is a lot of fun.
