French with Elise created a task card set to practice futur simple with intermediate-advanced students.

All you have to do is print and cut out the card sets for your class and print out a copy of the worksheet for all of your students.

In short, students will then take turns reading each card, predicting the future (the image on the task card) and writing a sentence for the subject pronoun indicated on the card.

Teachers Pay Teachers thumbnail of the free French resource Thé et Monet freebie

Thé et Monet is one of my own and one of my favourites! The goal is for students to practice imparfait or the present tense while describing Claude Monet’s famous paintings!

Further, I add a little twist to this activity and make my students hot chocolate or tea while they are working and they ABSOLUTELY LOVE being served a hot drink while working. Who wouldn’t?

Lastly, It’s peaceful, relaxing and they are practicing description vocabulary and either the imparfait or present tense with a cultural twist!

It’s a win-win for everyone!
