FRENCH TELLING TIME CHALLENGE CARDS BUNDLE

PRIMARY FRENCH KS3 FRENCH TELLING THE TIME ANALOGUE CLOCK TIMES THREE SETS OF 60 TASK CARDS @ £1.25 EACH These 180 task cards are perfect for developing French language skills in general, as well as for practising and revising how to tell time in French - each of the three sets has 60 cards, divided into two sets of 30 questions, full answer key and a recording sheet. The cards have a bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling, and really help students develop more independence in their learning, moving away from more teacher-led tasks and activities.

Task cards are really versatile too - I use them not only when we’re focusing on the target vocabulary and structures, but throughout the year for cover lessons, and as starters and refreshers. The goal is not simply to learn and practise how to tell time in French, but also to enjoy working with language, and to feel confident about doing so. I use these cards not only with my Primary French learners, but also my***KS3 French*** students.

The questions are a straightforward introduction to, and consolidation of, a range of analogue clock times for both beginner French students and those who have already been introduced to the basics of telling time in French. They’re also a good introduction to working and learning with challenge cards - I generally work with numbers quite quickly with my beginner language students, and move on to challenge card activities as soon as I can, so that they can develop independent and collaborative learning skills.

There are two questions: Quelle heure est-il ? with a particular clock face, and students write the response on their recording sheet or in their workbooks. The second question is Vrai ou faux ? and students write either vrai or faux - where the answer is faux, remind students to write the correct time for additional consolidation.

Set 1 focuses on o’clock & half past the hour, Set 2 on quarter to & quarter past the hour and Set 3 on a range of analogue clock times. I print each set out on different color paper so that they’re easily identifiable. The cards are numbered 1-60 in words, so students should recap those numbers before they work with the task cards.

The question card template enables students to apply their knowledge of language and time creatively and practically, which is an essential element of successful language learning. My students really enjoy creating cards for each other, so it’s a really popular activity too.

Each set comprises the following non-editable files:

60 question cards, 6 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. Print, laminate and cut out. Depending on how long you want the activity to last for, choose a particular number of cards per small group of students, and place them in a tin, bowl or small box so that students can easily select a card, and then replace at the end of the activity. You can simply place all the cards in the bowl/box and let students work their way through, either in a single lesson, or across a series of lessons.

2-page answer recording sheet - I tend to use recording sheets for more formal assessment purposes, and have my students use their class workbooks to note their answers when we’re using the task cards as a more general learning activity

2-page answer key - answer keys are an integral element to the learning activity. They offer students and additional opportunity to engage with language, and develop more independence in their learning. They’re also a great teacher time-saver, which is always a good thing!
