Are you a French teacher looking for creative ways to teach French reflexive verbs? Here are some activities to get you started!
How should you teach French reflexive verbs?
I’m a really big fan of teaching French grammar in context. What does this mean? It means that instead of beginning my “unit” on reflexive verbs by having my students take notes on the grammar topic, I sprinkle reflexives into daily and weekly routines.
The goal is to have my students express themselves using French reflexives without knowing what exactly they are.
A really great way to do this is to include questions with French reflexive verbs in your Question du jour bell work. You can also do a weekly routine where students speak about their favourite routines.
