In teaching fsl French, play is an essential ingredient to encourage young learners to take a risk and participate orally.
Developing french activities is time consuming and a little help is always welcome.

Items offered on this page have been written specifically for use with students who are in the beginning levels of a French as a Second Language program.

Using familiar stories and characters (fairy tales, fables, myths) is a great way to introduce new French vocabulary and phrases. Combine this with an element of play and humour and you can grab the interest and enthusiasm of all of the students.
Practice Makes Perfect?
Getting students to participate orally can be a challenge, but give them a role in a humorous skit and fears of speaking can melt away. Acting in short French plays gives students the opportunity to rehearse and perfect snippets of the French language, use actions, body language and props to make themselves understood - all necessary skills in learning to communicate.
Puppets also provide students with a less stressful way of participating orally.
Our FSL French Plays let students "ham it up" for either small class audiences or on a stage for a full auditorium.
Some plays include optional Narrator parts in English in case the play is performed for an English audience.

The play scripts below are free to download. You may make as many copies as you need for your class or French club and may perform the plays in class or on stage as long as you do not charge admission. For information about the material please contact the author.
