La bataille navale
Instructions:
Preparation: Prepare the template based on the tense that is being studied. Choose verbs that you deem important and ones that are irregular.
Students' task: Ask the students to conjugate the verbs in both tables. Then they should place their ships in their own chart by circling/highlighting those squares. Their allocated ships are listed on top of the page. They should then fold their game papers to create game cards. Regular battleship rules apply and the attacks are conducted by forming a sentence using the chosen subject and verb. For example, if playing with the futur simple tense, students may say something like "Il ira au centre commercial la semaine prochaine". The students should keep track of their hits and misses in the "adversaire" table.

Ni oui ni non
In this game, students will ask each other a series of related questions. They need to answer with a logical answer but cannot use the words “oui” and “non.”
- The game can be played in partners where one student is asking the questions on the card and the other is answering.
- It can also be played in small groups with a buzzer. One student is asking the questions at a time. They will ask 5 of the questions on the card, choosing the ones they will think will most likely trick the other members of the group. The other members compete to press the buzzer and answer the question without saying "oui" or "non" to gain the point. The game continues with the next person asking the questions.

C'est pas faux!
This is like a trivia game except no knowledge, but French language knowledge, is really necessary! The students ask each other questions on the card and seek the wrong answer that makes sense. When they get the right wrong answer, they get a point.
Ex: Dans quelle province est-ce qu'on trouve la Tour CN?
Des bonnes réponses: Au Québec, Au Nouveau-Brunswick, etc.
Possible variations:
Ex: Dans quelle province est-ce qu'on trouve la Tour CN?
Des bonnes réponses: Au Québec, Au Nouveau-Brunswick, etc.
Possible variations:
- Quiz each other in partners.
- Play the game in groups where the students take turns asking questions and the first person to yell out a right (wrong) answer, gets a point. Equally a buzzer can be used to make it more engaging.
- You can also modify it to make it trickier by making different coloured cards, one requiring the actual correct answer and the other requiring a wrong answer.
- Once students become more advanced, they can write their own questions or think of questions on the spot.
