Warm-Up Activities and Fillers for the French Classroom

From http://french.about.com

Most language teachers find that there is a bit of dead time during class. This may occur at the beginning of class, as the students are arriving; at the end of class, as they are thinking about leaving; and right in the middle of class, when transitioning from one lesson to another. During this dead time, the best option is to spend five or ten minutes on a short, interesting activity. Teachers in the Profs de français forum at About.com have shared some great ideas for warm-up and filler activities - take a look: http://french.about.com/cs/teachingresources/a/warmup.htm?nl=1
