Why use a concept map?

It helps children organize new information.

It helps students to make meaningful connections between the main idea and other information.

They're easy to construct and can be used within any content area.

How to use a concept map

Note: It is important that teachers spend time introducing younger students to charts and diagrams prior to using this strategy.

There are several ways to construct concept maps. Most include the following steps:

1. Model how to identify the major ideas or concepts presented in a selection of text as you read.

2. Organize the ideas into categories. Remind students that your organization may change as you continue to read and add more information.

3. Use lines or arrows on the map to represent how ideas are connected to one another, a particular category, and/or the main concept. Limit the amount of information on the map to avoid frustration.

4. After students have finished the map, encourage them to share and reflect on how they each made the connections between concepts.

5. Encourage students to use the concept map to summarize what was read.

A concept map is a visual organizer that can enrich students' understanding of a new concept. Using a graphic organizer, students think about the concept in several ways. Most concept map organizers engage students in answering questions such as, "What is it? What is it like? What are some examples?"

French Games is a free online resource for beginners learning French and offers a complete set of French lessons, practice French games and quick French tests for over 100 French topics, all free. Use the options in the box below to learn or revise any topic with any activity.

French lessons at French Games

Start your visit to French Games with the French Lesson for your chosen topic. Each of our 100+ lessons consists of an introduction to the topic language and 3 lesson activities - a yes/no activity, an either/or activity and a multiple choice activity. During the introduction to the topic, it is important that you repeat the audio after you hear it, and write down the texts to help your memory absorb both the sound and look of that language.

The 3 lesson activities are graded from easy to more difficult. As you work your way through them, you will find that your grasp and retention of the target language gradually improves. By the time you have completed the whole lesson, you should be able to recall and repeat the vocabulary for each of the topic items without prompting.

Games to practice French

There are 13 free games you can use to practice the French topic you are learning at French Games. The games are quick and simple to play and improve language retention by excercising different areas of the brain. Try a variety of games for the best results! The games are free to use and work on both tablets (including iPads) and desktop computers.

French tests at french-games.net

Complete your topic learning session by taking our 2 tests - a multiple choice test and a writing test. These will confirm that you have fully grasped and are able to reproduce the French you have learned by doing the lesson and playing the games.

The writing test is harder than the multiple choice but is important if you wish to be able to write French as well as speaking it! As you can see from the screenshot, there is a Help button if you get stuck...

How to use French Games

To start using French Games click here or on the "Start" button at the top of the page.

On the Start page you choose the first topic you want to learn. Once you have chosen a topic you will go straight to the lessons - there is an introduction to the language, a yes/no activity, an either/or activity and a multiple choice activity. Once you have worked through these lesson activities, play a few games to reinforce the French for your selected topic. Then finally try our two tests - multiple choice and writing - to make sure you have learned the language correctly.

If you are a parent, you may want to check out our parents page for more information on how your child should use French Games to enhance their French language learning. There is also an FAQ page with more information on French Games.
We also have a YouTube channel for French learners with lots of video tutorials!
Who is this website for?

French Games is for kids (and the parents of kids) and young adults who need or want to learn French as a second language.

You might be starting to learn French for the first time, or you may need to reinforce what you are learning at school or with your tutor with additional lessons and games. If you are between five and fifty (or twenty five anyway), try out French Games and make your French learning a great way to spend some time.

I think this course was fantastic!
