FRENCH DATES DAYS MONTHS SEASONS : 36 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-dates-days-months-seasons-task-cards-12247683
The cards are useful not only when you’re focusing on this particular target vocabulary group, but also as an all-year-round starter, plenary and general ‘pick-me-up’ activity, as the goal is not simply to learn how these words and phrases in French, but also to enjoy working with French, and to feel confident about doing so.
The questions are entirely in French, with some translation questions both from French into English, and***English into French***. It’s important to help students understand as soon as possible that translation does not mean simply exchanging word for word, and that languages do work in different ways to express the same things.
This free set comprises the following non-editable files:
12 differentiated question cards, 4 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper - this size allows for longer and more complex sentences or calculations in a font that is sufficiently large for students at this stage of their introduction to Italian to access the language easily and successfully, which is a really important motivator for learning. Laminating is definitely worth the prep time and extra expense, as the cards will last in great condition for absolutely years.

FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE PRESENT PERFECT IMPERFECT TENSES
**GCSE FRENCH KS3 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH ALEVEL FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE** ***3 tenses, 5 verb groups, 15 workbooks, 2,250 conjugations, answer keys and verb lists @ 65p each in the bundle*** Ideal for ***upper KS3 French*** students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and longer texts, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in ***French*** through to ***KS4 French*** students who are regularly working with texts featuring a range of tenses, including authentic resources. The workbooks are really useful to ***A Level French*** students too, as a quick conjugation refresher as they begin their ***A Level French*** course. ***The tenses are:*** = present tense (le présent) = perfect tense (le passé composé) = imperfect tense (l'imparfait) ***The verb groups are:*** = regular French -ER verbs = French -RE verbs = French -IR & -OIR verbs = high-frequency French verbs = French reflexive verbs My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice, reinforcing and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for individual activities during cover lessons - I move onto conjugation quite quickly in my language learning programmes, so that students can ***apply language practically and creatively***, which is ***essential for progressing in language learning***, as well as consolidating language and grammatical concepts. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole school year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how ***French conjugation*** 'works'. The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage, though it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language, with that of the language they are learning. For example, with the ***imperfect tense in French***, students with ***English*** as a first language often use the construct ***j'étais travailler*** instead of ***je travaillais as a translation of I was working***. They may look for a direct equivalent of the notion of ***used to...***, before they grasp that the ***notion of used to... is implicit in the conjugation of the verb*** itself. There are specific differences in usage between ***English and French*** with this tense, and I do always discuss this with students about this when we’re using the workbooks - I tend to work fairly simultaneously with ***le passé composé and l'imparfait***, because students are then able to compare and contrast both formation and usage, which really helps them learn and understand correct forms and usage when they look at a range of past tense contexts together, for example ***I have worked, I worked, I was working, I used to work***. I refer frequently the difference in usage between ***English and French***, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the ***imperfect tense in French***. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written French is accurate***, and that their understanding of ***French*** across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. ***Each set is structured as follows:*** ***Two alphabetical verb reference lists***: French-English and English-French. ***Three conjugation challenges***, each with 50 individual conjugations: ***Conjugation Challenge 1***: each verb conjugated in French across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. ***Conjugation Challenge 2***: gives the infinitive of each verb in French, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in French. ***Conjugation Challenge 3***: students write the corresponding French verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. ***Notes and Next Steps template*** which students visit regularly - it really does encourage them to think about where they are now, how confident they feel, and what they might need to work on a little more to be absolutely sure of their conjugation skills. We also note down any new verbs we meet, which enables students to build up their own verb vocabulary bank. It's a great tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really successful and popular activity. ***answer key***: 6-page booklet which is absolutely essential in my view. Answer keys help students develop more independence in their learning, and provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with language and grammar. They also genuinely enjoy correcting their own - and particularly each others' - work. ***Have a look at this French quick conjugation workbook sampler to see if this kind of workbook will work well with your students:*** **FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE SAMPLER** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-verbs-conjugation-practice-sampler-12307809](http://) ***Have a browse in my store for more French grammar activities, with a wide range of French language teaching and learning materials, with dollar deals, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies too - I've added a couple here for you to try.*** *All files are non-editable files in a zipped format.

I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for homework, for practice and revision during holidays and at return to class, and for cover lessons - they're really versatile, and ideal for ***advanced KS3 French*** and ***KS4 French*** students who are really getting to grips with conjugation in ***French***, developing their ***French grammar knowledge***, and beginning to work with ***more complex language and texts***. The workbook focuses on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, and I've found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well. I encourage students to look for ***patterns*** across all the verbs, such as the ***singular pronouns***, including the ***pronoun on*** form being identical, pointing out also that on is commonly used in ***spoken and written French***, also meaning ***we***, unlike the English pronoun ***one***. The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, but I find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, students whose first language is *English* do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in both languages, and I frequently see students confusing the use of the ***auxiliaries avoir and être***. Students do need to to have a good grasp of the ***auxiliary verbs in the present tense*** to ensure that they can form the perfect tense accurately. In terms of the ***past participle***, students begin to be able to predict it accurately, the more they see it, and construct it. I also refer frequently the ***difference in usage*** between ***English and French in the perfect tense***, which are quite significant. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***fixed conjugation patterns*** that students can***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written French*** is accurate, and that their understanding of ***French*** across the skills of ***listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust.

The bundle is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed, in whole or in part, outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-use license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** Challenge cards are an ideal language learning activity, providing ***multi-skill language learning*** opportunities. These sets are ideal for a range of ***French*** language classrooms from ***KS2 French / Primary French*** to ***KS3 French***, and at ***KS4 French***, students preparing for ***GCSE French*** as practice and revision. This kind of activity really does help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their ***French*** language skills in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The questions have a ***bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling***. They’re great for helping students familiarise themselves with, and develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling in ***French*** in general, and on the focus language, for example, ***conjugating French RE verbs in the present tense*** in particular. I use task not only when we're focusing on the focus language and grammar, but also for sub lessons, as an all-year-round starter, plenary and general ‘pick-me-up’ activity. The goal is not simply to learn how ***French*** works, and how patterns can be identified and applied, it’s also about enjoying working with ***French***, and to feel confident about doing so. The questions are ***differentiated***, and range in ***complexity and challenge***, with some calling specifically upon prior and new knowledge too, helping students make links and build bridges in their learning. There may be some vocabulary that students are not familiar with - these questions give them the opportunity to learn and apply new language too. Other ***grammatical concepts*** are addressed in the questions too, such as ***gender agreement***, ***direct and indirect objects***, ***personal pronouns*** and ***question formats in French***. The ***question card template*** available in some sets enables students to ***apply their knowledge practically and creatively***, which is an essential element to successful language learning. To get the most from the questions, I frequently look at the ***multiple-choice questions*** as a whole-group, identifying not only why there is a single correct response, but what the errors are in the other choices. ***Identifying errors***, and explaining precisely why something is inaccurate or incorrect, helps students to think about language a little more laterally, and ensures that they are thinking concepts through, rather than simply relying on learned responses. All sets have full answer keys and recording sheets. ***Set 1: French Numbers 0-21 : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH NUMBERS 0-21 : 36 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-numbers-0-21-challenge-cards-11843713](http://) ***Set 2: French Numbers 0-31 : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH NUMBERS 0-31 : 36 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-numbers-0-31-challenge-cards-11759386](http://) ***Set 3: French Christmas Numbers 0-31 : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH CHRISTMAS NUMBERS 0-31 : 36 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-christmas-numbers-0-31-challenge-cards-12035663](http://) ***Set 4: French Numbers 0-100 : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH NUMBERS 0-100 : 48 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-numbers-0-100-challenge-cards-11741540](http://) ***Set 5: French Dates, Days, Months & Seasons : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH DATES, DAYS, MONTHS, SEASONS : 36 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-dates-days-months-seasons-challenge-cards-11856578](http://) ***Set 6: French Fruits : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH FRUITS : 36 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-fruits-challenge-cards-12586825](http://) ***Set 7: French Vegetables : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH VEGETABLES : 36 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-vegetables-challenge-cards-12587115](http://) ***Set 8: French Fruits & Vegetables : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH FRUITS & VEGETABLES : 36 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-fruits-and-vegetables-challenge-cards-12587126](http://) ***Set 9: French Telling the Time O'Clock & Half Past the Hour : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH TELLING THE TIME O'CLOCK & HALF PAST THE HOUR : 60 CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-telling-time-challenge-cards-1-12833553](http://) ***Set 10: French Telling the Time Quarter to & Quarter Past the Hour : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH TELLING THE TIME QUARTER TO & QUARTER PAST THE HOUR : 60 CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-telling-time-challenge-cards-2-12833561](http://) ***Set 11: French Telling the Time Range of Analog Clock Times : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH TELLING TIME RANGE OF ANALOGUE CLOCK TIMES : 60 CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-telling-time-challenge-cards-3-12833565](http://) ***Set 12: French ER Verbs Present Tense : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH ER VERBS PRESENT TENSE : 48 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-er-verbs-present-tense-challenge-cards-12641881](http://) ***Set 13: French RE Verbs Present Tense : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH RE VERBS PRESENT TENSE : 48 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-re-verbs-present-tense-challenge-cards-12646092](http://) Have a browse in my store for a wide range of other ***French*** teaching and learning materials, with ***French resource boxes***, ***special offer bundles*** and lots of ***freebies*** - I've included a range of challenge cards freebies for you to try. **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BON APPRENTISSAGE !**

FRENCH RESOURCE BOX #1
**FRENCH RESOURCE BOX : FIVE RESOURCES, FIVE POUNDS £5** ***Files are non-editable in zipped formats. They are copyright, all rights reserved. They may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way, The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** ***This French resource box is ideal for KS3 French, KS4 French and GCSE French revision***. There are 5 resources, each for £1, featuring ***active, differentiated, multi-skill and independent learning activities***. Some of the resources overlap learning stages, though I’ve found that students, regardless of ages, often benefit from, and genuinely enjoy, working with activities that are primarily designed for other ability or knowledge stages. This may be either as ***practice and revision***, or as ***additional or more accessible and manageable challenge***. These factors are all key to motivating learners to engage with, and progress in, a new language. There’s certainly prep work involved with some of the resources – I always laminate my language and challenge cards for example, as they’re much more easy to manipulate, and so far more learner-friendly. They do however last in excellent condition for years, so for me, laminating is definitely worth the prep time and extra expense. You don’t have to prepare them all at once – the resources are definitely useful for the longer-term, so you can take your time with the prep, focusing on what you’re working with at any specific stage. Over time, I’ve created activity folders with ready-made resources in, and give my students free-choice time – alone, in pairs or small groups. They decide what they’d like to work on for half an hour or so, and sometimes even a full lesson. We do this pretty regularly, as it’s great for keeping language fresh, and ideal for both ***consolidation and revision***. Additionally, and equally importantly, it helps students ***develop independent learning skills***, moving away from teacher-led learning, and ***gives them real insight into their own learning progress***. The workbooks, worksheets and word searches for example are good to go – simply print and photocopy. **RESOURCE 1** ***500 High-Frequency French Verbs Reference Book***, alphabetically French-English & English-French ideal for intermediate French preparing to move into advanced French students, and I also use them for advanced beginner French students to provide a language learning map. ***Read the full outline here:*** **500 HIGH-FREQUENCY FRENCH VERBS : REFERENCE BOOK FRENCH-ENGLISH & ENGLISH-FRENCH** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-verbs-book-1-12775401](http://) **RESOURCE 2** ***French Dates, Days, Months, Seasons Challenge Cards*** 36 differentiated challenge cards focusing on dates, days, months & seasons in French, with answer key, vocabulary list & recording sheet.

FRENCH TELLING TIME CHALLENGE CARDS BUNDLE
**PRIMARY FRENCH KS3 FRENCH TELLING THE TIME ANALOGUE CLOCK TIMES THREE SETS OF 60 TASK CARDS @ £1.25 EACH** These 180 task cards are perfect for ***developing French language skills*** in general, as well as for ***practising and revising how to tell time in French*** - each of the three sets has 60 cards, divided into two sets of 30 questions, full answer key and a recording sheet. The cards have a ***bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling***, and really help students develop more independence in their learning, moving away from more teacher-led tasks and activities. Task cards are really ***versatile*** too - I use them not only when we're focusing on the target vocabulary and structures, but throughout the year for cover lessons, and as starters and refreshers. The goal is not simply to learn and practise ***how to tell time in French***, but also to enjoy working with language, and to feel confident about doing so. I use these cards not only with my ***Primary French*** learners, but also my***KS3 French*** students. The questions are a straightforward introduction to, and consolidation of, a range of analogue clock times for both ***beginner French*** students and those who have already been introduced to the ***basics of telling time in French***. They're also a good introduction to working and learning with challenge cards - I generally work with numbers quite quickly with my beginner language students, and move on to challenge card activities as soon as I can, so that they can develop independent and collaborative learning skills. There are two questions: ***Quelle heure est-il ?*** with a particular clock face, and students write the response on their recording sheet or in their workbooks. The second question is ***Vrai ou faux ?*** and students write either ***vrai or faux*** - where the answer is ***faux***, remind students to write the correct time for additional consolidation. ***Set 1*** focuses on o'clock & half past the hour, ***Set 2*** on quarter to & quarter past the hour and ***Set 3*** on a range of analogue clock times. I print each set out on different color paper so that they're easily identifiable. The cards are numbered 1-60 in words, so students should recap those numbers before they work with the task cards. Download lists of ***French Numbers 0-100*** for free in my store. The ***question card template*** enables students to ***apply their knowledge of language and time creatively and practically***, which is an ***essential element of successful language learning***. My students really enjoy creating cards for each other, so it's a really popular activity too. ***Each set comprises the following non-editable files:*** ***60 question cards***, 6 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. Print, laminate and cut out. Depending on how long you want the activity to last for, choose a particular number of cards per small group of students, and place them in a tin, bowl or small box so that students can easily select a card, and then replace at the end of the activity. You can simply place all the cards in the bowl/box and let students work their way through, either in a single lesson, or across a series of lessons. ***2-page answer recording sheet*** - I tend to use recording sheets for more formal assessment purposes, and have my students use their class workbooks to note their answers when we're using the task cards as a more general learning activity ***2-page answer key*** - answer keys are an integral element to the learning activity. They offer students and additional opportunity to engage with language, and develop more independence in their learning. They're also a great teacher time-saver, which is always a good thing! ***Have a browse in my store for more French task cards, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning materials, with resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies too - I've included a couple here for you to try**.* *All files are non-editable, in a zipped format.

FRENCH ADJECTIVES REFERENCE & RECALL WORKBOOK #1
**A LEVEL FRENCH GCSE FRENCH KS5 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH ADJECTIVES REFERENCE BOOK & RECALL WORKBOOK @ £1.75 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The bundle is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed, in whole or in part, outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** **FRENCH ADJECTIVES BOOK**: ***400 high-frequency French adjectives***, listed ***alphabetically both French-English and English-English*** with ***gender agreement guide*** - a great learning support resource for ***higher GCSE French*** and as a refresher and vocabulary audit for ***KS5 French A Level French*** students. It's useful to give the book to ***advanced KS3 French*** students who are planning to continue with ***French into KS4*** and beyond too, as it provides a language road map with learning goals, outlining the adjectives they should ideally know by a specific stage in their learning. I create a lot of language learning reference books for my languages students, they’re really popular with my students, who like to have a bank of reference resources for both initial learning and longer-term learning and revision. There are 42 pages in the book, and all ***400 adjectives are listed alphabetically French-English and English-French***. Each adjective is also shown in the ***masculine, feminine, singular and plural forms***, which my students find really helpful as they begin to engage with ***gender agreement in French***. ***FRENCH ADJECTIVES WRITTEN RECALL & SPELLING WORKBOOK*** 66-page written recall workbook featuring ***400 French adjectives, French-English and English-French***, with ***four written recall challenges***. My students find the written recall challenges really useful throughout the school year, and particularly as we approach exam time - they generally like to work at their own pace, either in class time or at home. Students can challenge themselves multiple times, simply by covering over previous responses, which means we're able to get a lot of use from a single book, saving both prep time and paper. ***There are four written recall challenges in the workbook:*** ***Written Recall Challenge One*** all four hundred adjectives in alphabetical order French-English - students are prompted for the English translation of a French adjective ***Written Recall ChallengeTwo*** this challenge also requires students to write the English translation from a French prompt, but the adjectives are in random, rather than alphabetical order - students often learn new vocabulary in alphabetical order, so this can be great practice in recall ***Written Recall Challenge Three*** the four hundred adjectives are in alphabetical order English-French - students give the French translation of an English adjective ***Written Recall Challenge Four*** with this challenge, the English adjective prompts are in random order, and students give the French translation The challenges work well together, and we do revisit them regularly over quite a long period of time. When students are very focused on particular vocabulary, they're able to embed the vocabulary really successfully, and feel confident using it in a wide range of contexts. It's useful to work on ***creative writing in French*** regularly too, so that students can*** apply their French practically***, and I encourage them to use a wide range of adjectives, thinking about ***synonyms*** too. We also use the books for quick vocabulary quizzes at frequent and regular intervals - I or a nominate student simply shout out the ***French or English adjectives***, the first team to shout out the correct answer wins a point - it’s a great no-prep quiz for vocabulary recall practice and revision, and just as effective as more formal vocabulary assessment or tests. We use the ***Notes and Next Steps*** template to think about progress and vocabulary knowledge. Students find this really useful, and do like to map and track their own progress. It can be helpful in guiding and informing whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really useful learning activity too - students also note down any new ***French*** adjectives they learn, enabling them to build a really comprehensive adjective vocabulary reference resource. ***The adjectives are useful for engaging with the following topics and themes:*** *youth, identity & lifestyle : fashion : culture, customs and traditions : relationships and family : technology and social media : sport, health and fitness : free time, hobbies and interests : entertainment and leisure : food and drink France and French-speaking countries : local, national & international global areas of interest : transport : holidays, tourism and travel : environment, pollution, recycling and climate : social issues : school, college, current and future study work experience, skills and personal qualities : employment, ambitions and career plans* ***Have a browse in my store for more French vocabulary reference books, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning resources, with special offer bundles, French resource boxes, and lots of freebies too - I've included a couple here for you to have a look at.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BON APPRENTISSAGE !**
