Description

Looking for French camping activities that go beyond simply memorizing vocabulary? This ready-to-use resource combines French camping vocabulary, passé composé practice, speaking activities, writing activities, games, and review to give your students lots of meaningful practice.

Whether you’re teaching a Core French or French immersion class, this resource makes it easy to build a fun camping and outdoor-themed unit while reinforcing important French grammar and communication skills.

A Complete French Camping Resource

Students learn and practice vocabulary related to camping and outdoor activities, while also using the passé composé to communicate about experiences and events in the past.

Instead of teaching vocabulary and grammar separately, these activities allow students to put both together in context.

Students practice vocabulary related to:

• Outdoor activities
• Clothing
• Animals and nature
• Camping and outdoor experiences

The resource also provides practice with the passé composé, including:

• Regular and irregular verbs
• Passé composé with avoir
• Passé composé with être
• Common irregular past participles
• Reflexive verbs in the passé composé
• Temporal expressions such as pendant, depuis, pour, and il y a

Give Students More Opportunities to Communicate

Grammar practice is important, but students also need opportunities to actually use what they’ve learned.

This resource includes a variety of French speaking and writing activities that encourage students to communicate using camping vocabulary and the passé composé.

Students can practice:

• Answering questions about camping and outdoor experiences
• Talking with classmates
• Writing about past experiences
• Using new vocabulary in context
• Forming complete sentences in the passé composé
• Applying grammar in meaningful situations

The variety helps keep practice fresh while giving students repeated exposure to important vocabulary and grammar.

Ways to Use These French Camping Activities

This resource is flexible enough to use in a variety of situations throughout the school year.

Use it as part of a French camping unit

Introduce camping vocabulary and then use the speaking, writing, grammar, and review activities throughout your unit.

Reinforce the passé composé

Looking for a more engaging way to practice the past tense? Use the camping theme to give students a meaningful context for practicing avoir, être, irregular past participles, and reflexive verbs.

Add speaking and writing practice

Use the communication activities when students need more opportunities to produce French rather than simply complete grammar exercises.

Review at the end of the year

The camping theme makes these activities a fun option for end-of-year French activities, when students may be ready for something a little different while still practicing their French.
