Make French passé composé practice more engaging — without spending hours creating revision activities. These ready-to-use French grammar mazes help students practise avoir vs être, reflexive verbs, irregular past participles and past participle agreement through structured, self-contained activities.
Designed for Years 8–10 French, these maze activities give students repeated practice with key passé composé concepts while encouraging careful thinking, accuracy and independent learning.
Struggling to get students confident with the passé composé?

Students read each sentence, choose the correct answer and follow the corresponding path. Only one path leads to the finish, so students need to apply their grammar knowledge carefully rather than simply guessing their way through.
