Challenge really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of fruits in French in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. They have a bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling. They’re great for helping students familiarize themselves with, and develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling longer words and more complex sentences in French.
Sentence structure and word order may differ from students’ first and/or home language, so it’s important to provide them with opportunities to engage with language that moves beyond single-unit vocabulary as soon as possible. It also gives them chance to apply language in a practical, real-world context, which in turn helps embed both vocab and grammatical concepts into longer-term memory.
The questions are all in French, and range in complexity and challenge. There are 35 fruits addressed in the cards, and it’s unlikely that they are all in your teaching and learning plan. I always include additional vocabulary to add a little challenge, and to encourage students to think a little more creatively and independently.
There is an alphabetical French-English and English-French fruits list to develop students’ language awareness skills, as well as their vocabulary. Nouns include masculine and feminine fruits, definite, indefinite and partitive article, and singular and plural - this really helps students familiarize themselves with grammatical concepts without explicit instruction.
There are some translation questions too - both from French to English and English to French, which is a great introduction to translation for beginner learners. I explain that there are several possible correct alternatives, as translation is not a word-for-word activity, which is definitely useful for them to know from the very beginning of their learning.
The question card template enables students to apply their knowledge of language and grammatical concepts creatively and practically

FRENCH TASK CARDS BUNDLE #1
**PRIMARY FRENCH IMMERSION FRENCH FOR CHILDREN FRENCH IMMERSION BEGINNER FRENCH INTERMEDIATE FRENCH TASK CARDS** ***13 sets of task cards @ $1.50 each in the bundle.*** ***All files are non-editable in zipped formats. The bundle is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed, in whole or in part, outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-use license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** Task cards are an ideal language learning activity, providing ***multi-skill language learning*** opportunities. These sets are ideal for a range of ***French*** language grades. This kind of activity really does help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their ***French*** language skills in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The differentiated questions have a ***bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling***. They’re great for helping students familiarise themselves with, and develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling in ***French*** in general, and on the focus language, for example, ***conjugating French RE verbs in the present tense*** in particular. I use task not only when we're focusing on the focus language and grammar, but also for sub lessons, as an all-year-round starter, plenary and general ‘pick-me-up’ activity. The goal is not simply to learn how ***French*** works, and how patterns can be identified and applied, it’s also about enjoying working with ***French***, and to feel confident about doing so. The questions are ***differentiated***, and range in ***complexity and challenge***, with some calling specifically upon prior and new knowledge too, helping students make links and build bridges in their learning. There may be some vocabulary that students are not familiar with - these questions give them the opportunity to learn and apply new language too. Other ***grammatical concepts*** are addressed in the questions too, such as ***gender agreement***, ***direct and indirect objects***, ***personal pronouns*** and ***question formats in French***. The ***question card template*** available in some sets enables students to ***apply their knowledge practically and creatively***, which is an essential element to successful language learning. To get the most from the questions, I frequently look at the ***multiple-choice questions*** as a whole-group, identifying not only why there is a single correct response, but what the errors are in the other choices. ***Identifying errors***, and explaining precisely why something is inaccurate or incorrect, helps students to think about language a little more laterally, and ensures that they are thinking concepts through, rather than simply relying on learned responses. All sets have full answer keys and recording sheets. ***Set 1: French Numbers 0-21 : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH NUMBERS 0-21 : 36 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-numbers-0-21-task-cards-12824509](https://) ***Set 2: French Numbers 0-31 : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH NUMBERS 0-31 : 36 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-numbers-0-31-challenge-cards-11759386](http://) ***Set 3: French Christmas Numbers 0-31 : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH CHRISTMAS NUMBERS 0-31 : 36 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-christmas-numbers-0-31-task-cards-12247735](https://) ***Set 4: French Numbers 0-100 : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH NUMBERS 0-100 : 48 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-numbers-0-100-task-cards-12150355](https://) ***Set 5: French Dates, Days, Months & Seasons : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH DATES, DAYS, MONTHS, SEASONS : 36 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-dates-days-months-seasons-task-cards-12247683](https://) ***Set 6: French Fruits : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH FRUITS : 36 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-fruits-task-cards-12641959](https://) ***Set 7: French Vegetables : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH VEGETABLES : 36 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-vegetables-task-cards-12641970](https://) ***Set 8: French Fruits & Vegetables : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH FRUITS & VEGETABLES : 36 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-fruits-and-vegetables-task-cards-12648459](https://) ***Set 9: French Telling the Time O'Clock & Half Past the Hour : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH TELLING THE TIME O'CLOCK & HALF PAST THE HOUR : 60 TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-telling-time-task-cards-1-12833556](https://) ***Set 10: French Telling the Time Quarter to & Quarter Past the Hour : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH TELLING THE TIME QUARTER TO & QUARTER PAST THE HOUR : 60 TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-telling-time-task-cards-2-12833567](https://) ***Set 11: French Telling the Time Range of Analog Clock Times : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH TELLING TIME RANGE OF ANALOG CLOCK TIMES : 60 TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-telling-time-task-cards-3-12833568](https://) ***Set 12: French ER Verbs Present Tense : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH ER VERBS PRESENT TENSE : 48 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-er-verbs-present-tense-task-cards-12651350](https://) ***Set 13: French RE Verbs Present Tense : read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH RE VERBS PRESENT TENSE : 48 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-re-verbs-present-tense-task-cards-12950331](https://) Have a browse in my store for a wide range of other ***French*** teaching and learning materials, with ***French resource boxes***, ***special offer bundles*** and lots of ***freebies*** - I've included a range of challenge cards freebies for you to try. **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BON APPRENTISSAGE !**

FRENCH FRUITS & VEGETABLES TASK CARDS BUNDLE
**FSL FLE PRIMARY FRENCH IMMERSION ADVANCED BEGINNER FRENCH INTERMEDIATE FRENCH FRUITS & VEGETABLES TASK CARDS THREE SETS @ $1.75 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The product is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be amended, copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use.*** Each set has 36 differentiated task cards, and they really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of ***fruits and vegetables in French*** in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The questions have a ***bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling***. They’re great for helping students familiarize themselves with, and develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling longer words and more complex sentences in ***French***.

It also gives them chance to ***apply language in a practical, real-world context***, which in turn helps ***embed both vocabulary and grammatical concepts*** into longer-term memory. The questions are all in ***French***, and range in ***complexity and challenge***. I usually read through questions before my students work with the cards for the first time, to ensure that everyone understands any new or unknown language and structures. I make sure though to give them chance to infer meaning from context, and to use any visual clues to decode language. It’s definitely useful for students to have access to an appropriate bilingual dictionary - not only does that help develop literacy skills, but there will probably be some fruits that students may not know. There are ***35 fruits and 37 vegetables*** addressed across the three sets of task cards, and it’s unlikely that they are all in your teaching and learning plan. I always include additional vocabulary to add a little challenge, and to encourage students to think a little more creatively and independently. There's an ***alphabetical French-English and English-French fruits & vegetables list*** in case you don’t have access to bilingual dictionaries. There are ***masculine and feminine fruits and vegetables, definite, indefinite and partitive article***, and ***singular and plural*** - this really helps students familiarise themselves with grammatical concepts without explicit instruction. There are some ***translation questions*** too - both from ***French to English and English to French***, which is a great introduction to translation for beginner learners. I explain that there are several possible correct alternatives, as translation is not a word-for-word activity, which is definitely useful for them to know from the very beginning of their learning. The ***question card template*** enables students to ***apply their knowledge of language and grammatical concepts creatively and practically***, which is an integral element of successful language learning. My students really enjoy putting questions together for each other, and I encourage them to use the existing questions as a frame of reference as they create their own. The task cards come in both color and blackline. The color is quite important when working with fruits, but it’s not actually essential. However, I do have a couple of sets of laminated color cards, as students are generally very motivated by attractive visuals. I often print out sets of the blackline cards, and younger students like to color them themselves. This in itself is a language learning activity, as they work out what each fruit is, and create it in color appropriately. ***Each set comprises the following non-editable files:*** ***2 Sets of 36 differentiated question cards***, color & blackline, 4 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. For younger and beginner learners, I always use a larger size card to ensure that language is sufficiently accessible, particularly when we’re working with longer and more complex sentences. It also ensures that students who find language learning a little extra challenging are not discouraged by dense print of new or unknown language. Laminating is definitely worth the additional prep time and expense, as they are far more learner-friendly, and will last for absolutely years. As noted above, I don’t always use the color cards - students can cut out the blackline cards and color themselves, which has the added bonus of very little teacher prep time! ***2-page answer recording sheet*** Best printed double-sided. My students generally use their class workbooks to worm out and note responses, which saves both prep time and paper. I use recording sheets for more formal assessment purposes. ***2-page answer key*** again best printed double-sided. I always give students an answer key for class activities of this kind, as it gives them an additional opportunity to engage with language, and helps them develop independence in their learning. Answer keys are likewise a great teacher time-saver! I laminate my answer keys, and distribute them in class time - one answer key for each small group is sufficient. ***alphabetical fruits / vegetables list***, French-English & English-French. Print double-sided if you can. ***Have a browse in my store for more French independent learning activities, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning materials, with French dollar deals, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies too - I've included a couple here for you to look at.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BON APPRENTISSAGE !**
