This is a free set of 15 French speaking prompts, with suggested responses. My students have always found these a really useful learning activity. With the structured speaking prompts, they are able to develop confidence in their speaking, working independently in pairs or small groups. At the same time, they are building their vocabulary and enhancing their understanding and knowledge of French grammar too.
There are 15 questions with 15 suggested responses. As students become more confident and competent, they begin to rely less on the prompt cards, and answer questions in their own way - and even ask them differently too, if their talk partner is using the answer card as the main prompt.
The questions in this freebie are aimed at advanced beginner to intermediate French students, though my more advanced students enjoy ‘going back to the start’ too, particularly near exam time. There’s a reference sheet, with all the questions and answers written out in full - I always provide a reference resource, and my students like to keep them in their learning folders for longer-term reference. When they create their own questions and answers for each other on the question and answer card template, they also find them really useful as a form of writing frame.

FRENCH VOCABULARY CARDS BUNDLE #3
**PRIMARY FRENCH VOCABULARY KS3 FRENCH VOCABULARY BEGINNER FRENCH VOCABULARY CARDS FOUR SETS @ £2.25 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***792 matching French and English games cards with two Reference, Recall & Write Workbooks, focusing on 396 beginner French words and phrases***. ***Files are non-editable n a zipped format. Please read the Terms of Use - the resource is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only.*** ***The vocabulary groups are as follows:*** = Les salutations = Les jours de la semaine = Les adjectifs = Les mois de l’année = Les saisons de l’année = Les nombres 0-80 = Ma famille = Les couleurs = Les parties du corps = Questions et réponses = Mots fréquents = Les phrases pour la salle de classe = Les animaux = Les matières scolaires = Fruits et légumes = Bavardons ensemble = Pays du monde = Quel temps fait-il aujourd’hui ? = Quelle heure est-il ? = La nourriture et les boissons My students really like to work independently, in pairs and in small groups, and these vocabulary cards enable them to do that. There are lots of games and activities to play, and I’ve described several that are successful with my groups. I’ve found that giving students regular and frequent opportunities to play with the cards, not only when we’re focusing on these particular vocab groups, but across the school year, and even when they’re far more advanced in their learning - all learners benefit from going back to the start! There’s definitely some prep involved - printing, laminating and cutting out - laminating is certainly worth the effort, as the cards are a lot more learner-friendly, and do last for years. Students don’t have to play with full sets - they can work with selected vocab groups. There is an ***18-page workbook for each set***, which gives students a different way of consolidating their vocabulary - writing it out really helps to embed language, and is great for spelling too. There are ***3 differentiated recall and write challenges***, as well as a full ***alphabetical French-English vocabulary list***, which works well as a longer-term reference resource too. My students learn a lot from applying their French practically with the game card templates - they enjoy creating cards for each other. I use the workbook for homework, holiday work, practice and revision or sub lessons - they’re really versatile. ***Written Recall Challenge One:*** students write the English word / phrase from a French prompt, with all the words and phrases grouped together in the same category ***Written Recall Challenge Two:*** with this challenge, students write the words / phrases in French from an English prompt, and again, they’re all group together in the same category ***Written Recall Challenge Three:*** this final challenge ‘switches’ at each question from French to English, and lists words and phrases randomly from each category - I’ve found that this really does encourage my students to think hard about their French vocab. ***Have a browse in my store for more French independent learning activities, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning resources, with French resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BON APPRENTISSAGE !**

Please read the Terms of Use carefully. The bundle is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only.*** These ***French Speaking Practice cards*** are perfect for ***developing speaking skills and for engaging with a range of language and concepts*** within a single activity - there are ***300 question and answer cards and three reference books*** aimed at ***advanced beginner to intermediate French*** learners, with a focus on beginning and general conversation, some cultural knowledge and using ***French*** reflexive verbs in the present tense. There are ***48 reflexive verbs*** featured in the Q & A activities in Set 3, and an ***alphabetical French-English verb list*** in the reference book. The cards are also great for ***multi-skill language learning*** - they give students ***structured talk opportunities*** and definitely get them listening, reading and writing. As their confidence and competence develop, my students begin to rely less on the prompts, and are able to produce language really creatively. The cards ideal for ***independent learning***, and perfect for pair and small-group work. There are also a lot of games you can play with the cards, and I've described a range of those that work really well for us. Laminate the cards if you can - it's definitely worth the extra prep time, as they're more learner-friendly, and they last for absolutely years. The reference books include all the questions and answers written out in ***French***. Students find these very useful learning support resources and they’re also handy ***whole-group pronunciation practice and reading-out loud resources***, as well as translation practice. My students use them to guide their own ***creative use of language***, as a kind of writing frame, as they create new questions and answers for each other. We use the***Ideas, Notes and Next Steps template*** to reflect on learning, and to think about what we might reasonably do to progress in our learning - it's really useful to guide and inform whole-group discussion. My students also note new verbs and vocab here too, which really helps them create a whole range of new sentences, questions and answers. The ***question and answer card writing templates*** give students the opportunity to apply their ***French*** very practically, as they create both questions and answers for each other. This is a great team activity too. ***Try this freebie, which will give you a good idea of whether this kind of activity would work well for your students:*** **FRENCH SPEAKING PRACTICE FREEBIE** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-speaking-practice-freebie-12582719](http://) ***Have a browse in my store for more French independent learning activities, and a wide range of other French language teaching and learning materials, with French resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BONNE CONVERSATION !**

FRENCH FRUITS & VEGETABLES CHALLENGE CARDS
**PRIMARY FRENCH FRUITS VEGETABLES KS3 FRENCH FRUITS VEGETABLES CHALLENGE CARDS THREE SETS @ £1.65 EACH IN THE BUNDLE ** ***Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The product is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be amended, 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.*** Each set has ***36 differentiated challenge cards***, and they really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of ***fruits and vegetables in French*** in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. Sentence structure and word order may differ from students’ first and/or home language, so it’s important to provide them with opportunities to engage with language that moves beyond single-unit vocabulary as soon as possible. It also gives them chance to ***apply language in a practical, real-world context***, which in turn helps ***embed both vocabulary and grammatical concepts*** into longer-term memory. The questions are all in ***French***, and range in ***complexity and challenge***. I usually read through questions before my students work with the cards for the first time, to ensure that everyone understands any new or unknown language and structures. I make sure though to give them chance to infer meaning from context, and to use any visual clues to decode language. There are ***35 fruits and 37 vegetables*** addressed across the three sets of task cards, and it’s unlikely that they are all in your teaching and learning plan. I always include additional vocabulary to add a little challenge, and to encourage students to think a little more creatively and independently. There's an ***alphabetical French-English and English-French fruits & vegetables list*** too. There are ***masculine and feminine fruits and vegetables, definite, indefinite and partitive article***, and ***singular and plural*** - this really helps students familiarize themselves with grammatical concepts without explicit instruction. There are some ***translation questions*** too - both from ***French to English and English to French***, which is a great introduction to translation for beginner learners. I explain that there are several possible correct alternatives, as translation is not a word-for-word activity. The ***question card template*** enables students to ***apply their knowledge of language and grammatical concepts creatively and practically***, which is an integral element of successful language learning. My students really enjoy putting questions together for each other, and I encourage them to use the existing questions as a frame of reference as they create their own. The task cards come in both color and blackline. The color is quite important when working with fruits, but it’s not actually essential. However, I do have a couple of sets of laminated color cards, as students are generally very motivated by attractive visuals. ***Each set comprises the following non-editable files:*** ***2 Sets of 36 differentiated question cards***, color & blackline, 4 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. For younger and beginner learners, I always use a larger size card to ensure that language is sufficiently accessible, particularly when we’re working with longer and more complex sentences. It also ensures that students who find language learning a little extra challenging are not discouraged by dense print of new or unknown language. Laminating is definitely worth the additional prep time and expense, as they are far more learner-friendly, and will last for absolutely years. As noted above, I don’t always use the color cards - students can cut out the blackline cards and color themselves, which has the added bonus of very little teacher prep time! ***2-page answer recording sheet*** ***2-page answer key*** ***alphabetical fruits / vegetables list***, French-English & English-French. ***Have a browse in my store for more French resources and freebies.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BON APPRENTISSAGE !**

FRENCH HIGH-FREQUENCY VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #2
**GCSE FRENCH KS4 FRENCH KS3 HIGH-FREQUENCY FRENCH VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE 3 TENSES & WORKBOOKS @ £1.20 EACH IN THE BUNDLE NEAR FUTURE, SIMPLE FUTURE, CONDITIONAL TENSES FOCUSING ON 25 HIGH-FREQUENCY FRENCH VERBS** ***All files are non-editable files in a zipped format. I’ve also included a couple of my free-to-download resources you may not have seen in my store. The product is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use.*** 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. ***There are 150 conjugations across 3 differentiated conjugation challenges with a full answer key in each set, so 450 conjugations in total***. 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 and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for cover lessons - they're really versatile, and ideal for ***KS3 French and KS4 French*** students who are begining to work with more complex language and texts in ***French***, and want to work on these tenses a little more. The workbooks ***focus 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. ***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 the grammar of the language they are learning. With the ***imperfect tense in French*** for example, students whose first language is *English* often use ***j'étais travailler instead of je travaillais as a translation of I was working***. 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 better able to understand correct 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 *i**mperfect tense in French***. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and do not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns*** that students can ***learn, recognize 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. ***The tenses are:*** near future *(futur proche)* simple future *(futur simple)* conditional *(conditionnel)* ***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 free French 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://) ***Currently in my store I have quick conjugation workbooks for each of these verbs groups across the following tenses:*** present tense *(le présent)* simple future tense *(le futur simple)* near future tense *(le futur proche)* perfect tense *(le passé composé)* imperfect tense *(l’imparfait)* conditional tense *(le conditionnel)* pluperfect tense *(le plus-que-parfait)* future perfect tense *(le futur antérieur)* conditional perfect tense *(le conditionnel passé)* ***Have a browse in my store for more French grammar activities, with a wide range of French language teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles and lots of freebies too - I've included a selection here for you to try.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BONNE CONJUGAISON !**
