French si clauses are so tricky! If you want your students to really master them, you’ll need to find some fun and effective ways for students to practice. Here is my students’ favorite way to practice si clauses with le conditionnel and le futur simple.

Each page has a si clause and another clause either in the conditional or the future. Simply cut out each sentence clause, have students place them face up on their desks, then match the correct si clause with its corresponding clause. You can easily walk the room and check their progress by using the original copy as your teacher key.
To help students understand that the si clause can come at the beginning or end of the sentence, some sentences will start with the si clause and others will end with it. The result clause is always underlined, so students will know to match two different types of clauses.
