Here is a powerpoint presentation and a worksheet on French Christmas with moderate to challenging language.On each slide you will find a recording attached (check speaker icon). You can play it without showing the slide and use it as a listening/comprehension task. I have attached a worksheet with questions to answer in English and some vocabulary to find in the powerpoint. I have also attached the answer sheet. If the sound does not work on each slide, I have attached a Youtube link with the audio recording.

A powerpoint presentation on numbers 1 to 100 and the euros (notes and coins) and two writing tasks to practise numbers and euros. I use these resources to teach numbers and euros to year 6 children. I organise French Residentia every year and I want them to be able to understand numbers and use euros confidently. I am a native French speaker and I have used centimes for euro cent as they do in France.

These worksheets have been created to help year 6 children order breakfast food and drinks while visiting France. I use ‘je voudrais’ but this can be changed to ‘je mange’ and ‘je bois’. They would suit perfectly upper ks2 children and ks3 pupils.

This quiz contains 43 questions on French historical figures, landmarks, fashion brands, culture…etc. For each question there is choice of three or more answers. I have used it with my year 6 but it can be used with older pupils e.g. ks3 and ks4. I have also attached the answers sheet.

A reading and listening pair-work activity where children have to read sentences to each other. They can’t show their sentence and they have to sit back to back to do this activity. One child reads a sentence about the price of some food and the other listens and record. This is a challenging activity for confident and capable children or pupils.

Here is a range of activities for pupils to practise the future tense. The activities are all related to the holiday topic. I prepared three differentiated tasks. I made a fairly easy one to use for the lower ability pupils focusing mainly on the first person of the singular. The other two sets of cards have more challenging vocabulary (countries, leisure, time expressions, various pronouns and expressing a few opinions). These speaking tasks would suit year 10/11 who needs to practise their oral. It can also support them for writing about their future holidays by modelling correct use of future tense. The speaking tasks are to be used in pairs or in a group (one pupil shows the card, he/she hides one sentence and the others have to translate it in the other language).The quickest pupils to translate it correctly wins the card, at the end they count who has the most cards. After several speaking practices, pupils work on the worksheet (two different levels). I have also attached the correct answers for the writing tasks.

Here is a range of resources to practise common French words and short sentences. They can be used as a recap or to introduce French to new learners. There are a card game and a snakes and ladders game to practise speaking. There is a worksheet with differentiated tasks (the first two are for LA and the last two can be used for MA or HA children). Finally I made a powerpoint with audio recording (can be deleted) to listen to the sound of these common words/expressions. There is a slide on some French sounds and children have to list the words that have these sounds.

A powerpoint presentation to practise the basics ‘je m’appelle’ with famous historical figures. It also teaches how to use ‘il or elle s’appelle’ and ‘ils or elles s’appellent’ when introducing other people. You will also find two worksheets to practise using them correctly.

Here is a booklet (with differentiated tasks) on the Football Word Cup 2022. It gives the opportunity to recap names of countries/nationalities and the languages spoken. It also gives the opportunity to recap colours (flags) and tackles geographical and general knowledge. I have also attached the answer sheets. NB: To introduce players, I had in mind the clubs they play or played for and therefore the language they had to learn. However some football players may speak more languages e.g. Kylian Mbappe is apparently fluent in English and Spanish but has only played in France.

Here are various resources linked to the King Charles III’s. The first powerpoint contains some challenging language but it goes a worksheet (cut strips of paper and match the French paragraphs with the English ones) in order to help the pupils understand tricky language. Linked to this powerpoint is an easier translation task. The pupils have to work out the meaning of key vocabulary and label the pictures with the correct French word. The second powerpoint only has key words to practise. I get them to choose 4 or 6 key words from the last slide and play bingo. Linked to this simplified powerpoint, I have attached a wordsearch and simple cross-words. There are two differentiated reading tasks (royal family, colour of hair, eyes, family relation and age) and a very simple on King Charles and pets/animals. Pupils will have to fill in the missing words.

Here are three powerpoints to introduce adjectives to describe ourselves. One powerpoint aims at practising ‘je suis’ and the other focuses on ‘il est’ and elle est’. The third one is a mixed of ‘je suis’, ‘il est’ and ‘elle est’. I have added other famous characters from Roald Dahl and David Walliams. I have also included two differentiated worksheets to practise writing ‘je suis’ .

A worksheet to go alongside the powerpoint ‘comment tu t’appelles ? Comment s’appelle-t-elle/il?’ using famous historical figures or paintings. Opportunity to test children’s cultural knowledge.

A worksheet to practise writing and reading skills (differentiatied tasks) on breakfast food and drinks. I have used ‘je voudrais’ instead of ‘je mange’ and ‘je bois’. I usually prepare my year 6 for a French residential and I like to get them ready at communicating in French independently. My resource focuses on ordering food and drinks.

A powerpoint presentation to introduce different colours of hair and colours of eyes using different characters from Harry Potter. It can be used to recap previous learning or to introduce new vocabulary. I use slides 1, 9, 10, 11 and 12 to introduce new language. I get the children to repeat the new language (playing a repetition game against me). Then I reuse the same slides as a support for pair-work (mouthe and guess, encore une fois…etc). There is a speaking activity (nought and crosses game) where the pupils need to say the colour of hair or eyes or the hair length or style. The slide 14 is a model for a writing activity. Obviously depending on their ability or previous learning , pupils can say or write a bit more.

This is a powerpoint I made last year during lockdown when my primary children were working from home.There is an audio recording (French native speaker) for the key vocabulary which is ideal if you are not confident at French but have to teach it. Obviously you can get rid of it, if you want to. To make sure the lesson catered for all abilities, I kept it simple and use repetition a lot to drill key vocab. There are a couple of differentiated reading and writing tasks at the end.

Here is a bundle of various reading and writing tasks to practise French numbers 1 to 60. I have created these tasks to keep my lower ability pupils busy. These don’t require a great amount of writing but help them learn their French numbers in a creative way. You will find a couple of puzzle tasks (match the digit with the words), a colour matching task, ‘spot the correct spelling’ task, a battle-ship task and a writing task with plenty of support.

Here are some resources (matching cards which can be used as memory game if you turn them over, an assessment or a reading task match the time with the correct clock) 5 in a row time game, and two writing and reading tasks) to practise time in French.

Here is a powerpoint I prepare to recap/ introduce gradually numbers 1 to 100. It aims at practising saying, reading and writing prices in euros. Prior to this lesson I taught various food and drinks and wanted to reuse this topic to learn how to say prices in euros. The first few slides aim at recaping numbers. From slide 5 I introduce how to say prices with decimals and want the children to write on their whiteboard or the attached worksheet the prices in words. There is plenty of written on each slide to help the pupil write the words correctly. From slides 9 I want the pupils to guess the prices of essential items (speaking), I can only help them by telling them ‘plus eleve’/ ‘inferieur’ or ‘plus bas’ /‘superieur’ . From slide 17 the pupils have to read the words and write the prices in words.Then I introduce numbers 70 to 100. From slide 25, pupils have to write prices in words and then from slide 30 they have to write the prices as a number.On the next slides I introduce the Euro coins and bank notes.

Here are two powerpoints to explain and introduce key vocabulary about Easter in France and four worksheets which will cater for lower and upper ks2 children. I made these differentiated worksheets for my year 3, year 4 and year 5 children but they can be adapted for other years. One of the activities is a wordsearch. I haven’t attached the twelve they have to find. You can see the list on the year 3 worksheet.

Here is a powerpoint to practise /describe the colour of pets. I included two slides to recap pets and colours first. Then I explain the rules with colour adjectives. Next I show some pictures and the pupils have to work out and write down on their whiteboard the colour of the pets. There are also a ‘correct or incorrect’ and ‘choose the correct answers’ tasks. I included two differentiated reading and writing tasks where the pupils have to apply the grammatical rules with colours.
