French KS2 / KS3 MEGA BUNDLE 3
French Revision Worksheets BUNDLE
If you are teaching Describing Appearance (Les Descriptions Physiques) and Personality Traits or Character Traits (Les Traits de Caractere / de Personnalite), you can consolidate the two units with this pack of 24 translation cards (en francais et en anglais) and a reading comprehension worksheet at two levels of challenge. There are 3 vocabulary support pages too. My French basics resources are designed for Year 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 for teaching or revision but might suit others, depending on experience. Please check the preview to assess suitability. Due to ‘bruns’ being commonly used in Canada to describe brown eyes (instead of ‘marron’ which is common elsewhere), there is a separate Canadian version included within the Zip file. Both files are in PDF format.

CONTENTS:
Vocabulary support: Two word mats (one for physical descriptions and one for character / personality descriptions). Display or print if any students require them. There’s also a card of common intensifiers (trop, assez, un peu etc), as some of the cards contain these linked to describing character traits (I am very friendly, I am too lazy etc). Please note these 3 vocabulary support pages are included in some related resources too.
Translation cards: A set of 24 cards for oral practice of describing people in French, mixing both physical descriptions and personality. Print and laminate as required. In pairs, students translate the text on their card into French, practicing speaking it together. Or they could read the French and translate it into English. The 6 English language sides are designed to be printed back-to-back with the 6 translation sides for student self-checking. If you prefer, the translations could be printed as separate cards.
Reading comprehension: This worksheet (included at 2 levels with answer keys) also mixes physical descriptions with personality descriptions, with a short third person text. The one-star version is for less experienced or less able students. It features the same text but has multiple choice questions.
KS2 and KS3 Beginners French PowerPoint lesson presentation (around 100 slides) to introduce and consolidate basic Food and Drink in French (La Nourriture et Les Boissons) vocabulary. 30 key food and drink words are introduced and key questions and answers linked to the topic are also featured.
Some key phrases that are included: Qu’est-ce que tu aimes manger? (What do you like to eat?), Qu’est-ce que tu aimes boire? (What do you like to drink?), Qu’est-ce que vous voulez? (What do you want?), Je voudrais… (I would like…), J’ai faim! (I’m hungry), J’ai soif! (I’m thirsty). Grammatical points in relation to talking about food are also introduced.
This PowerPoint scaffolds students’ learning around the ordering of food and drinks and giving opinions about them. Slides feature answers that appear on a mouse click. Activities and games are also included: role-play slides (plus answers) and slides for games of Splat and Kim’s game. A US version is included with terms like ‘sweets’ and ‘chips’ replaced with ‘candy’ and ‘fries’.
My French basics / beginners resources are designed for Year 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 (and equivalents in other countries) but might suit others, depending on experience.
