Hands-on practice for French si clauses!


Kinesthetic learning activity for practicing French si clauses

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.

Hands-on practice makes French si clauses so much more fun and easy to understand.

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.

Hands-on practice makes French si clauses so much more fun and easy to understand.

Find this si clause activity at my TpT store here.


Your students will love it, and it will really help them understand the structures:
si + imparfait -->  conditionnel  and si + prĂ©sent --> futur simple.

Want to add even more challenge?  Have them write their own si clauses as a follow-up homework assignment.  You can then use those sentences as bellwork, quiz questions, or another homework for those who need more practice!

I hope this makes si clauses fun for your students!
