Whole-group lively & communicative language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing a range of vegetables in French. The game has a multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. It’s perfect for pronunciation practice too - particularly with***silent s, the non-/audible sound of x (deux and dix for example)*** and so on. I point out particular phonemes and sounds too - ch in champignons and the eu in chou-fleur for example.
The aim of the game is to create a French sentence chain as quickly as possible, starting with J’ai la première carte, and ending with the final card, C’est la dernière carte. The game also works well if the sentence sequence is placed on the floor, a longish table, or other flat surface. I created the game for my young beginner learners, but I’ve also played the game with my older adult learners, who really enjoy it too. The design is four cards per page, which allows for a large font - this is really important for beginner language learners who are familiar with the written word, and starting to link spelling with sound. Try to print in colour if you can - it adds to the visual appeal of the game, which is a real motivator for learning.
There are 28 vegetables featured in the game: artichoke; asparagus; aubergine; green beans; beetroot; broccoli; Brussels sprout; cabbage; carrot; cauliflower; celery; cucumber; garlic; leek; lettuce; mushroom; onion; peas; green pepper; red pepper; yellow pepper; potato; sweet potato; radish; spinach; sweetcorn; tomato; zucchini.
All the vegetables may not be in my longer-term learning plan, but the learning objective moves beyond simply learning individual units of vocab - the images help students infer meaning from context, supported by the visual prompts and clues - this in turn supports them in developing their French language skills in the longer and more complex sentences. There is implicit input on grammatical concepts such as adjectival agreement, gender, definite, indefinite and partitive articles and position of adjectives, either preceding or proceeding the particular noun.
The question card template provides an additional learning activity, with students applying their developing French language knowledge creatively and practically, as they make game cards for the class - this is a really popular activity with my students.

Lively whole-group communicative language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing a range of fruits in French. The game has a multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. It’s perfect for pronunciation practice too - particularly with silent s, the audible sound of x (deux and dix for example) and so on. I point out particular phonemes and sounds too, such as***ei in groseilles*** and the soft c in citrons .

SPANISH CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCHES #1
PRIMARY SPANISH KS3 SPANISH CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCHES Sopas de letras are a fabulous way of encouraging students to engage with the written word in Spanish, refreshing and reinforcing language as they complete the grids. This set features ten differentiated word searches, with each consecutive grid increasing in challenge. It focuses on 33 Spanish Christmas words, which I also use as a prompt to stimulate discussion about Spanish Christmas practices and customs, and we talk about what students know about other Christmas traditions around the world. The nouns feature masculine and feminine, singular and plural and both definite and indefinite articles, which is a great way of working on and consolidating those grammatical concepts too.
There are 5 Spanish to Spanish grids, where students are prompted with the Spanish words, and look for them in Spanish in the grid. For additional consolidation, each grid also features an English word list that they have to complete, really putting their knowledge to the test! There are also 5 English to Spanish grids, where the prompt words are given in English, and learners have to find the Spanish equivalent in the grid. For additional consolidation and practice in writing and spelling in Spanish, they also complete the Spanish word list on each page. Students can tell in which direction the words are written by looking at the arrow key on each grid.
There is an answer key for each word search, so that students can check their answers - or use for a little extra help if they need it. Answer keys are absolutely essential for me, as they provide students with an additional opportunity to engage with language, help them develop more independence in their learning.
There’s a Spanish-English Christmas vocabulary reference sheet - you can either laminate this to share around small groups of students, or give one to each student to stick into their learning workbooks as a general reference resource. Students will have to look carefully at some of the words they’re looking for, as they may appear slightly differently - for example, they may have to find the gifts and work out what that is in Spanish - only the prompt the gift appears in the reference list.

SPANISH CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCH FREEBIE
PRIMARY SPANISH KS3 SPANISH CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCH FREEBIE Word searches are a fabulous way of encouraging students to engage with the written word in Spanish, refreshing and reinforcing language as they complete the grids. This freebie Spanish Christmas word search features fourteen common Spanish Christmas words, which helps to develop students’ awareness of some Spanish Christmas vocabulary and customs, such as la Nochebuena and el turrón. I use this as a prompt to stimulate discussion about Spanish Christmas practices and traditions, and we talk about what students know about other Christmas traditions around the world. The nouns feature masculine and feminine, singular and plural and both definite and indefinite articles, which is a great way of working on and consolidating those grammatical concepts too.
There is an answer key for each word search, so that students can check their answers - or use for a little extra help if they need it. Answer keys are absolutely essential for me, as they provide students with an additional opportunity to engage with language, help them develop more independence in their learning, and they genuinely enjoy ‘correcting’ each others’ work - additionally, they’re a great teacher time-saver, which is always a bonus! The word searches are in landscape format, as this mirrors the common direction of reading from left to right for speakers of English as a first or home language, facilitating their engagement with the activity.

GERMAN CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCHES BUNDLE
PRIMARY GERMAN KS3 CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCHES WITH ANSWER KEYS, GRID TEMPLATES AND GERMAN CHRISTMAS VOCABULARY LIST TWO SETS OF TEN WORD SEARCHES @ £1.60 EACH
German Christmas Word Searches #1
Ten differentiated word searches with answer keys and German Christmas Vocabulary Reference List My younger students really love word searches, as they like to learn independently and work their way through the increasing challenges of the word searches.
These***Christmas*** word searches are a real winner - the Christmas-theme seems to be a great motivator! There are 33 German Christmas words, and I’ve chosen a selection of more generic Christmas words, and also some which are very German-specific, such as Sankt Nikolaus and Knecht Ruprecht - we don’t attempt to learn all these - the objective of the word searches is to engage with German, to really focus on the individual words, genders and articles, and to have lots of practice at general recall of vocab. There is an increasing challenge through the grids, and that differentiation does ensure that all students are challenged.
There are 5 German to German grids, with a vocab list to fill in too. There are also 5 English to German grids, with a vocab list to complete - that’s a great way to really get students’ recall skills working. Students can identify the level of challenge by the increasing size of the grid, number of words to search for, and the direction the words appear in, which they can see by the direction of the arrows at the top of the grids.
Answer keys are essential in my view, and I always give them to students. Not only are they a great teacher-time saver, they really do give students an additional opportunity to engage with language - they also love to ‘mark’ each other’s work! I’ve put a couple of extra challenges in too, to encourage students to look really carefully at the words - for example, they may have to find candles and work out what that is in German - only the prompt die Adventskerze appears in the German Christmas vocabulary reference list.
German Christmas Word Searches #2
Ten differentiated word searches with answer keys, grid templates and German Christmas Vocabulary list The searches increase in challenge from Grid 1-10, and offer a really useful learning opportunity - enabling learners to engage with***German Christmas vocabulary***, which is a great springboard for discussion on***Christmas traditions and practices in Germany and other German-speaking countries***, comparing them to other traditions and practices students know, but also working on reading, writing, spelling and German language skills in general.
Learners are able to identify which direction words are located in within the grid by referring to the arrow key. There are also five grid templates for learners to create their own searches for each other - this is a really popular activity, and I’ve found that my learners often like to create grids for family at home too. The templates enable learners to apply their language practically and creatively, which is really important at this stage of German language development. There is also an answer key for each word search in this set.
There is a single word search per page, portrait format. I like to ensure that text is accessible to all learners - and at this stage of their learning, it’s absolutely essential that language looks accessible and manageable. Some of the more challenging grids do look a little cramped, as a good number of the German words are quite long.
There are 50 German Christmas-themed words across the word searches - it’s not necessary for students to learn all the words explicitly - over time, they tend to become familiar with all of them anyway. Looking for unfamiliar words in the grids really works well for implicit learning. There’s a full alphabetical vocab list, which is a great long-term German Christmas vocabulary reference resource, which my students like to add to when they can.
Have a browse in my store for more German Christmas activities, with a wide range of other German language teaching and learning materials, with lots of freebies - I’ve added a couple here for you to try.

FRENCH CHRISTMAS VOCABULARY LIST FREEBIE
PRIMARY FRENCH KS3 FRENCH YEAR 7 FRENCH CHRISTMAS WORDS & PICTURES A great French Christmas picture & vocabulary reference resource for younger learners of French. It works well when students keep them carefully in learning files or folders for current and future reference. They also work well printed double-sided and laminated for small-group work in class.
There are 20 common French Christmas words with pictures that I’ve found ideal for children learning French. I’ve used a blend of masculine and feminine nouns, definite article and indefinite article and there are some plurals too. I use this to stimulate discussion about articles, the concept of gender in French (which is often quite contrary to some learners’ first language, such as English), and forming the plural in French. It’s also great for promoting discussion about Christmas traditions and practices in France and French regions, as well as other French-speaking countries, comparing them to other Christmas customs with which students are familiar. Over time, I encourage students to add to the list - by the end of their French learning programme, they’ll have a comprehensive French Christmas vocabulary bank.
There are two backgrounds to choose from - Christmas colours (which I tend to use as part of a French Christmas display), and blackline snow.

JOYEUX NOËL ET BONNE ANNÉE !
GERMAN CHRISTMAS I HAVE WHO HAS
PRIMARY GERMAN KS3 CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES I have, Who has… ? Ich habe… Wer hat… ? is a whole-group lively & communicative language learning game, perfect for honing language skills during the Christmas period in school. It’s great to learn some German Christmas vocab, though I don’t expect my students to learn all 32 words necessarily - but it’s equally important to introduce them to German Christmas traditions and practices through the images and words, and the game certainly promotes discussion about Christmas in Germany and German-speaking countries in particular, and* Christmas around the World* in general.
The game has a multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. Students walk around, talking to each other and working together to create the chain. It’s perfect for pronunciation practice too.
The aim of the game is to create an alphabetical word chain - this can either be a person chain, though I prefer to have students work together to create an alphabetical line on a table, or even on the floor. There are 32 German Christmas words, arranged alphabetically. The first and last cards have Das ist die erste Karte and Das ist die letzte Karte written on them. If you have fewer than 32 students in your group, randomly select several to have more than one card. My students love it when I play too!
The target vocab focuses on the definite article, masculine, feminine and neuter, with both singular and plural - this also offers a useful opportunity to talk about grammatical concepts if your students are at that particular stage, particularly how the singular der changes to den when it is a direct object, which is great for consolidating learning about the accusative case. Try to laminate the cards if you can - they’re far more learner-friendly, and they do last for absolutely years! Students can also apply their language skills very practically (and artistically!) by creating their own cards on the template, in random rather than alphabetical order. We tend to play against a timer, often in teams each with a German Christmas team name, (you’ll need a couple of sets for this) - my students really enjoy trying to beat their own record! Get the most from the game by playing as often as you can during the Christmas season.

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES QUIZ #1
EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES QUIZ IDEAL TEAM OR CLASS QUIZ FOR THE EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES - AND AS A YEAR-ROUND GENERAL KNOWLEDGE QUIZ! The quiz features 100 multiple-choice questions, each with four possible responses. It’s perfect for developing students’ awareness, understanding and knowledge of all things European. The questions range from basic general knowledge to more specialised factual knowledge.
The themes and topics are:
= arts & culture
= famous people
= food
= geography
= history
= landmarks & monuments
= language
= literature
= music;
= politics
= science
= society.
You can be Quiz Question Captain, but students do enjoy taking on that role in turns. The questions often stimulate further and deeper discussion about particular themes and topics - for example, the question regarding Eyjafjallajökull is a great example of a ‘modern-day’ volcano eruption, and the implications for both national and international communities, particularly following the recent eruption of Cumbre Vieja on La Palma, one of the Spanish Canary Islands. I often prompt students for additional responses based on the answer options - for example The longest river in Europe, the Volga, runs through which countries? Which countries does the Danube or the Rhine run through? and so on. I always award extra points for this, which increases the competitive edge a little!
The quiz is non-editable for copyright reasons. The first slide shows a map of Europe, which I use to discuss general geography and the range of European countries, some of which students may not be aware of. Each question slide is followed by a corresponding answer slide, with the correct response in capital letters.
The quiz is ideal for whole-group or team quizzes, with students choosing a European-themed team name. Play in homeroom / form time or in any subject area lesson as a brain-break - the questions really are cross-curricular! I use the quiz several times at intervals across the school year - this really does put students’ memory and developing knowledge to the test. The quiz goes down
particularly well on the European Day of Languages, and at key points in the school year: end of year, back to school, Christmas and so on.

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES EUROPE FLAGS CARDS
EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES EUROPE COUNTRIES, CAPITAL CITIES & FLAGS GAMES CARDS perfect for developing knowledge and locational understanding of Europe the game cards provide great learning opportunities for any appropriate age group, at any time of the school year, but they are particularly popular on the annual European Day of Languages. Students can develop their knowledge of the geography of Europe, its countries, capital and flag in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher.
There are 60 flag cards, and 60 country with capital city cards, featuring all European countries, capital cities and flags. There may be a number of countries and capital cities that students do not know, or are not aware of, so the games help them fully develop their general awareness, knowledge and understanding of Europe. I’ve also included a range of islands, such as the Faroe Islands, to extend students’ knowledge of Europe a little further, as well as several countries, for example Armenia, that are often classed as belonging either to Europe or to Asia. Playing in teams against a timer is really popular - students love to see if they can beat their own time record.
There is a country, capital city and flag reference list of all countries and capitals, which students find useful to read through before playing - allow them only 60 seconds on a timer to really focus their reading and increase the sense of competition if you are playing competitive team games! It can also be used as a year-round reference resource, which students can file in their workbooks or learning folders. There is also a full set of country and capital labels - labeling the flags with their respective countries and capitals is a really good way of consolidating learning. Laminate the cards, labels and reference sheets if you can - it’s definitely a lot of prep, but it’s well worth it, as not only are the materials far more learner-friendly, they also last for absolutely years.

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES COUNTRIES & CAPITALS QUIZ
EUROPEAN DAYS OF LANGUAGES QUIZ EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND CAPITAL CITIES - 2 QUIZZES WITH 120 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS European countries & capitals multiple-choice quizzes are great games, suitable for any age range, at any time, but particularly for theannual European Day of Languages. I play them a lot, at different times of the school year, and with all different age groups. We keep a tally, so that we can track whether students are beating their own record. All students can develop their knowledge of the geography of Europe in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, giving their memory a workout at the same time! The quizzes work really well as a whole-group team quiz, and are also perfect as a pair or small-group activity.
The set contains all European countries & capital cities, including some island communities such as the Faroe Islands and Guernsey. Each question has 3 answers to choose from. The correct answer is given in CAPITAL LETTERS, to ensure that all students can participate - they really enjoy being the quiz master! The quiz cards are numbered, but I prefer to ask in random order: we simply place all the cards in a bowl, box or tin, and work our way through!
There are two quiz challenges - Challenge 1 gives the country as a prompt, with three possible capital cities to choose from. Challenge 2 gives the capital city as a prompt, with three possible countries to choose from. The quiz card templates allow students to put their memory and recall to the test in a different way, and to apply their knowledge very practically: they can create their own set of multiple-choice questions for each other.
I always laminate my learning cards, as they’re far more user-friendly, and last for absolutely years! Each challenge has a different background - Europe map and green check - so that you and your students can easily identify which challenges the cards belong to, but I’ve also included the quizzes with no background, so that you can keep prep costs to a minimum. My students also find reference resources really useful - download this list of all European countries and capital cities for free here:

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES QUIZ #1
EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES EUROPE COUNTRIES CAPITAL CITIES FLAGS PRESENTATION & QUIZ Create an instant introduction to Europe and help your students develop their awareness of European countries, capital cities and flags with this whole-group presentation and quiz. There are60 countries featured in the quiz. Each country is presented individually with its capital city and flag - as you show the slides, encourage students to shout out the country names as they appear - this tends to aid memory quite considerably - I point out the location of each country on the background map, which helps students situate each country within the continent, and visualizing the location of the countries again aids memory.
The presentation is followed by a series of 100 questions. The questions are structured slightly differently to differentiate the challenge a little: some focus on the countries, others on capital cities, and some on flags. Taken together, students will definitely develop a sound locational knowledge of the countries of Europe, their capital cities and flags.
The quiz works particularly well with several teams - encourage each team to choose a European-themed team game. Teams can either take it in turns to answer a question, but it’s also great fun, and keeps up a lively pace, to play as a SHOUT IT OUT! quiz - whoever shouts out the correct answer first wins the point!
The resource is not editable for copyright reasons - the presentation moves on with a click. Each question slide is followed by the relevant answer slide - simply click, and it appears!

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES BUNTING
EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES Create an instant introduction to Europe and brighten up your learning environment with this bunting showing European countries, capital cities and flags, giving your classroom a great multicultural look and feel. It’s an ideal display for the annual* European Day of Languages and Europe Day festivals*, and great as a year-round display resource. There may be a number of countries and capital cities that students do not know, or are not aware of, so the bunting does help students develop their general awareness, knowledge and understanding of Europe and its geography.
I’ve also included a range of islands, such as the Faroe Islands, to extend students’ knowledge of Europe a little further, as well as several countries, for example Armenia, that are often classed as belonging either to Europe or to Asia. Each bunting banner has a small tag which I use to hang with a clip from a ‘washing line’ across the classroom and other learning areas - alphabetically
works well, though non-alphabetically is perfect for a country quest activity! Laminate if you can - there’s a lot of prep, and certainly the bunting will use a lot of ink, but laminated the bunting will last for ever!

HAVE A GREAT EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES!
EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES EUROPE BUNTING FREE SAMPLER
EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES This is a free Europe bunting sampler featuring five countries, their capital cities and flags: Austria, Estonia, Finland, Portugal and Slovakia.
The full set is as follows:
Create an instant introduction to Europe and brighten up your learning environment with this bunting showing European countries, capital cities and flags, giving your classroom a great multicultural look and feel. It’s an ideal display for the annual European Day of Languages and Europe Day festivals, and great as a year-round display resource. There may be a number of countries and capital cities that students do not know, or are not aware of, so the bunting does help students develop their general awareness, knowledge and understanding of Europe and its geography. The bunting works just as well in the geography classroom as the world languages classroom, aligning learning between language and knowledge of the world.
I’ve also included a range of islands, such as the Faroe Islands, to extend students’ knowledge of Europe a little further, as well as several countries, for example Armenia, that are often classed as belonging either to Europe or to Asia. Each bunting banner has a small tag which I use to hang with a clip from a ‘washing line’ across the classroom and other learning areas - alphabetically
works well, though non-alphabetically is perfect for a country quest activity! Laminate if you can - there’s a lot of prep, and certainly the bunting will use a lot of ink, but laminated the bunting will last for ever!

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES FLAGS LABEL & COLOUR
EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES ACTIVITIES WORKSHEETS European countries, capital cities and flags label and colour worksheets provide great learning opportunities for any appropriate age group, at any time of the school year, and are definitely the perfect activity for consolidating knowledge of these countries and flags - students definitely really enjoy testing their memory and colouring the flags! Students can develop their knowledge of Europe, its countries, capital cities and flags, independently of the teacher. There are 60 European countries included - there may be a number of countries and capital cities that students do not know, or are not aware of, so the worksheets help them fully develop their general awareness, knowledge and understanding of Europe and the wider world.
There is a country, capital city and flag reference list of all countries and capitals, which students find useful to read through before working on the sheets - I laminate these, and one list per small group of 5-6 students is sufficient. It can also be used as a year-round reference resource, which students can file in their workbooks or learning folders. Laminate the cards and reference sheets if you can - you will be able to use them for years to come.
There are four sets of worksheets, each with six pages:
Set 1: color flags, students label with country and capital city
Set 2: blank flags, students label country and capital city, and color the flags - a number of flags look very similar on these worksheets, which helps students recall all the countries in Europe, and their flags
Set 3: blank flags, country is given, students label capital city, and color the flags
Set 4: blank flags, capital city is given, students label country, and color the flags
Please note this is the European Day of Languages version of European Flags Label & Colour which is also available in my Geography World Continents collection - please ensure you have not already purchased that version

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES GAME
EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES COUNTRIES AND FLAGS I HAVE, WHO HAS? GAME - great for any time of the school year, and particularly in celebration of The European Days of Languages and Europe Day! All my students, regardless of age, love this game - it’s whole-group, lively & communicative - the repetitive nature of the questions and answers, supported by the visual prompt of the flags, makes it perfect for learning the countries of Europe and their flags.
The aim of the game is to make an alphabetical country line as quickly as possible, starting with the first card, Albania, and ending with the final card, Wales. Students will probably have several cards each, depending on the size of your group. I tend to play with a timer, as that adds a little edge to the game - I also like to play in teams too, for which we use several sets of cards. We start of with a rapid whole-group warm-up, asking simple questions such as How many European countries can you name in 15 seconds? and so on.
Laminate the cards, as they’re far sturdier, and easier to work with, and will last for absolutely years! There are four cards per A4 (8.5x11) landscape format page - great size for everyone to see the words and flags really clearly.

GEOGRAPHY EUROPE COUNTRIES & CAPITALS QUIZZES
KS3 GEOGRAPHY KS4 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND CAPITAL CITIES - 2 QUIZZES WITH 120 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS European countries & capitals multiple-choice quizzes are great games, suitable for any age range, at any time! I play them a lot, at different times of the school year, and with all different age groups. We keep a tally, so that we can track whether students are beating their own record. All students can develop their knowledge of the geography of Europe in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, giving their memory a workout at the same time! The quizzes work really well as a whole-group team quiz, and are also perfect as a pair or small-group activity.
The set contains all European countries & capital cities, including some island communities such as the Faroe Islands and Guernsey. Each question has 3 answers to choose from. The correct answer is given in CAPITAL LETTERS, to ensure that all students can participate - they really enjoy being the quiz master! The quiz cards are numbered, but I prefer to ask in random order: we simply place all the cards in a bowl, box or tin, and work our way through!
There are two quiz challenges - Challenge 1 gives the country as a prompt, with three possible capital cities to choose from. Challenge 2 gives the capital city as a prompt, with three possible countries to choose from. The quiz card templates allow students to put their memory and recall to the test in a different way, and to apply their knowledge very practically: they can create their own set of multiple-choice questions for each other.
I always laminate my learning cards, as they’re far more user-friendly, and last for absolutely years! Each challenge has a different background - Europe map and green check - so that you and your students can easily identify which challenges the cards belong to, but I’ve also included the quizzes with no background, so that you can keep prep costs to a minimum. My students also find reference resources really useful - download this list of all European countries and capital cities for free here:

FRENCH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES WORD WALL
FRENCH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES WORD WALL LES PAYS FRANCOPHONES I like my learners to understand the scope of the French-speaking world from the very beginning of their learning - it gives them a real understanding of the importance of French, and how widely it is spoken throughout the world. It’s easy to create and instant introduction to Les pays francophones with this word wall showing a range of world countries and territories where French is an official language and / or very widely-spoken. Each card shows the continent, country and capital city in French, and its national flag, and together they give the classroom a great multicultural look and feel. At the same time, the word wall promotes French as a living language, spoken across the globe, and featuring in the everyday life of your learning environment.
There may be a number of countries and capital cities that students do not know, or are not aware of, so the word wall definitely helps them fully develop their general awareness, knowledge and understanding of Les pays francophones - students are often genuinely amazed at the scope of the French-speaking world - French is spoken on every continent! I’ve used the definite article, as I’ve found that this helps embed the concept of gender in French, and that proper nouns, such as countries, are subject to gender agreement rules too
There are two cards per 8.5 x 11 (A4) page in landscape format - the fonts is sufficiently large for students to be able to read from various locations in the classroom, which ensures you can definitely get the most from it - we do lots of recall and recognition games, spelling and geography quizzes and so on. There are two header cards : Ici on parle français and Les pay francophones.
There are two backgrounds to choose from - French flag or black wave. I definitely recommend that you print on card stock and/or laminate for longevity - you’ll be able to enjoy your French-speaking Countries word wall for years to come!
Have a look at this French Numbers 0-21 word wall - it’s free to download, and the design format is the same as this word wall - you’ll be able to see if it’s the right kind of display word wall for your classroom:
