Ways to use these passé composé practice activities
Use the materials throughout your passé composé lessons to introduce concepts, provide extra practice, encourage students to speak French, review before an assessment, or offer additional activities for students who need more repetition.
The variety of formats makes it easier to alternate between individual practice, partner work, movement games, and digital learning.
Who are these resources for?
These activities are suitable for secondary Core French and FSL classes, as well as middle school French immersion. Use them when teaching the passé composé or when students need additional opportunities to practise and review the past tense.
With a combination of structured exercises and engaging games, you can spend less time preparing activities and more time helping students develop their French skills.
Please note: Reflexive verb resources are not included in this version of the collection.

To use Boom Cards, you must be connected to the Internet. Boom Cards play on modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge). Apps are available for modern Android, iPads, iPhones, and Kindle Fires. For security and privacy, adults must have a Boom Learning account to use and assign Boom Cards. You will be able to assign the Boom Cards you are buying with “Fast Pins,” (a form of play that gives instant feedback to students for self-grading Boom Cards). For assignment options that report student progress back to you, you will need to purchase a subscription. If you are new to Boom Learning, you will be offered a free trial.Readhere for details: http://bit.ly/BoomTrial.
⚠️Boom Learning has begun to limit the number of free plays per month you can individually assign. If you do not wish to have a paid account, I recommend projecting the cards onto your interactive whiteboard for whole-class play instead of using the fast pins.

Originally reviewed on TPTTime saver!!
This has saved me so much time in the classroom. I’ve been able to plan lessons around the activities as well as creating a booklet that my students can work through as a task, an early finisher or morning work (or really whenever needed!). Lesson planning made easier, saves me from creating resources, students can work independently if needed; so glad I found this.
