GCSE French Synonyms in Reading & Listening Exams. Teaching Resources.

I noticed that some of my GCSE students weren't spotting the synonyms that would help them to answer their Listening and Reading Exam questions and made these cards. The students have to group the cards together sometimes in pairs, others in groups of 3 or more.

Expressions:

Les voitures

Les véhicules

Les autos

Les déchets

Les papiers

Les ordures

Les détritus

La capitale française

Paris

Beaucoup de gens

Beaucoup de personnes

Beaucoup de monde

Carrière (technically not a synonym of the previous 2, but links to the topic).

Je fais du baby-sitting

Conduire

L’herbe

Des plantes

Les arbres et les fleurs

Following checking there is afun games to play which I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students spread out the cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct French cards first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!
