Perfect for exploring La Francophonie and ideal for cross-curricular learning in French class, aligning French and geography, focusing on 41 countries / territories where French is an official language.

The word searches help students develop their knowledge and awareness of Les Pays Francophones, and just how widely it is spoken around the globe. The countries are identified by the definite article, so that students can see which countries are masculine, and which feminine, which in turn helps consolidate knowledge of gender in French. At the same time, students are developing their French language skills, with a focus on reading, writing and spelling.

= Grids 1-4: students search for a particular country.
= Grids 5 & 6: students search for a range of capital cities.
= Grid 7: 16 capital cities as prompts, and students search for the corresponding countries in the grid.
= Grid 8: 16 countries, and students search for the corresponding capital cities in the grid.
= Grids 9 & 10: a selection of national flags, students search for the corresponding countries in the grid, and also write the country name in the prompt box next to the individual flag.

There is a single grid per page, A4 (8.5 x 11) portrait format. Students can tell in which direction the words are written by looking at the arrow key on each grid. Each grid has a corresponding answer key, so that students can check their answers - or use for a little extra help if they need it. There is also a complete reference sheet of all countries, capital cities, continents and flags.

The word searches work well as a whole-group, small-group / center or paired learning activity, and are also great as bell ringers for French class. Revisit regularly to maximise the learning potential. It’s useful to screen a world map before students engage with the activity, so that they can visualise the location of the continents, countries and capital cities, which provides an important context for their learning.

The Lively Learning Classroom offers a wide range of French resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.
