Originally reviewed on TPTMy students enjoyed doing these icebreakers to get back into the swing of speaking in French.

Originally reviewed on TPTMy high school students love these activities. They love to walk around the class and ask each other all the goofy questions using the conditional tense. I have them do this in French for the upper levels. The personal speaking questions are great for all levels. All these activities kept my students engaged while learning or reviewing. Great way to get to know each other at the beginning of the year.
