French Christmas: La maison et les prépositions (Key Stage 3)

Joyeux Noël and welcome to the special addition of the house which is all Christmas themed!!

This edition is assumed that the children have already learned the prepositions, the rooms of the house alongside the associated items and there is a preliminary quiz and various activities which reinforces this. This edition is very heavily differentiated which is tailored to the needs of the children, whatever their level.

The main powerpoint explores various Christmas items with constant reinforcement and then followed by a quiz.

There are also differentiated workbooks available in this pack and there are many activities which consolidate the learning of the Christmas vocabulary, including making a Christmas card!!

The activities in the workbooks are as follows:

1. Unscramble the words and colour in the pictures.

2. The next section looks at the prepositions and once again, the children can choose the correct words in the white box below.

3. Next, the gender of the words is explored and the children cut out and paste the pictures with the correct label. They can colour them in too if they wish.

4. Next is the listening comprehension. The first part looks at single words and the children write the correct letter in the box according to the word. The second part is more complex and is formatted as ‘true or false’ questions. The children listen to the sentences and look at the picture and decide if the sentences are true or false. 8 sentences will be ‘true’ and 8 will be ‘false’.

5. In the next section, the children fill in the missing words in the sentences by choosing the choice of answers in the box below the picture.

6. The children read the instructions of the living room and the garden and they cut out and paste the pictures according to the given instructions.

7. Spot the differences - children write down any 10 differences between the two pictures. If there is insufficient space in the workbook, they can write them in their exercise book. There is vocabulary available below the picture in order to assist them with this and you can model some example answers with them and use assessment for learning techniques to show they understand if required.

8. Make a French Christmas card!! They can be as creative as the wish!!

9. Complete the word search!!

There are also supplementary and differentiated bingo sheets available which focuses on Christmas!

I hope you enjoy this pack and I wish you a very Merry Christmas!!
