Tactic*Grams are unique, hand-held games that gets students excited about conjugating French verbs! 

Tactic*Grams are available in four verbs:

  • ALLER
  • AVOIR
  • ÊTRE
  • FAIRE

HOW TO PLAY:

This game can be played individually or in a group (rally) format.

Using a timer, time students to see how fast they can complete the Tactic*Grams. There are three specific categories.

The 60 Club Series is for students who can complete at least three subject/verb pairs in the span of sixty seconds.

The Pro Series is for students who can complete the Tactic*Gram so that all the subjects are paired with their correct verb conjugation. Subjects do not have to be in the order as shown in the picture above.

The Master Series is for students who can complete the Tactic*Gram in its entirety as seen in the picture above.

The Tactic*Gram Rally requires more than one Tactic*Gram. This can be done while students are doing their seatwork. Divide the class into teams. On the teacher's signal, the first member will attempt to unscramble the Tactic*Gram. Every minute yell "Switch!" and the next team member continues the game. The first team to successfully match the subject/verb pairs win!
