What kids do

Printed on the sheet:

  1. Avoir means “to have”. French uses it for your age: J’ai dix ans means “I am ten years old”
  2. (word for word, “I have ten years”).
  3. Write the six forms of avoir. Use the word bank.
  4. Finish each sentence with the right form of avoir.

Teacher tip

Ask each child “Tu as quel âge ?” and have them answer with j’ai before they start the sheet.

How to use it

  • Color-code masculine and feminine nouns all week.
  • Do the first sentence together and say why the ending is right.
  • Say every French word out loud and have kids echo it before they read or write it.

Watch for

Adding -s to gris or -e to rouge. Words that already end in that letter stay the same.

Talk about it

  • Which endings can you hear and which are silent?
  • Does this word look like an English word you know?

Take it further

Play a game where one child names a noun and the next adds a matching adjective.
