Joyeux Noël! 5 fun printable games and activities, including speaking, listening and reading activities for your Noël en Français / Christmas in French unit. Students review vocabulary for 30 common terms, as well as key Christmas and New Year greetings. Vocabulary support pages and full instructions included. PDF format.

My FSL / MFL French basics resources are made for students beginning French and near beginners in upper KS2 or KS3 (Years 5, 6, 7 and 8) and equivalents but they may suit others, depending on experience. Please check the previews to assess suitability. As two of the French vocabulary terms used vary in Quebec, an additional Canada version of relevant pages is included at the end of the file. Use the other original versions for all other countries.

INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE:

  • Vocabulary pages: Key vocabulary support pages to display or print for students who require it. Includes a word mat over two pages (3 versions: with background colour, without background, and black and white), a one page vocab list of the core 30 words, and a common French Christmas Greetings support sheet. Please note that these vocab support pages are also included in my French Christmas Worksheets packet.
  • Four in a Row: Print and laminate the game board. First to get four in a row - vertically, horizontally or diagonally - wins. Students roll dice, then choose a word or phrase from that number column and say it in French. If correct, use a whiteboard pen to put a symbol or initial in that box.
  • "J’ai…Qui a…?” Loop Game: A speaking game for groups or the whole class. Print and laminate for repeated use. The 30 cards form a continuous loop so it doesn’t matter which one you start with.
  • Team Relay Game: Ideal for the whole class or can work for smaller groups too. Print and laminate the cards (double-sided – or return to printer to print on the other side). Students take turns to locate the next card, until they have all their cards. The cards feature letters that they will rearrange at the end to spell a short French word. Answers included.
  • Serpents et Echelles Board Game: Print and laminate board, works like normal Chutes and Ladders / Snakes and Ladders, only with students calling out French words and phrases when they land on them. Answer key included.
  • School Plan Listening Game (Christmas Edition): Students are issued with a blank school plan and listen to the teacher calling out the location of Christmas items, which they must draw correctly onto the plan. Answer plans included.
  • Full game instructions included.
