Fun French Christmas Noel Game Activity

40 cards for an Upper KS2 or KS3 whole class fun Christmas in French scoot game activity or use as task cards, perhaps for early finishers or meaningful fillers at this busy time of year. Includes versions with both French and English instructions, a vocabulary support page, answer key, Pause Cards to substitute in if you don’t wish to use all of the task cards, and a recording sheet in two versions. PDF format.   My FSL / MFL French basics resources and units suit students beginning French, near beginners (and intermediate learners for revision) in: Upper Primary (Key Stage 2 KS2) - Year 4, 5, 6 (Y4 Y5 Y6) Secondary (Key Stage 3 KS3) - especially Year 7 and 8 (Y7 / Y8) Equivalents such as Grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Core French in Canada May suit others, depending on experience   Please check the previews.   You might also like: French Christmas Bundle French Winter and Christmas Giant Crossword Puzzle   You can use these as ordinary task cards but a fun whole class game of Scoot works really well:   HOW TO SET UP AND PLAY “SCOOT!”: Print and cut the 40 numbered cards. There’s a set with English instructions and a set with French instructions, which you might want to use for older, more able or more experienced students. Two of the cards feature vocabulary that is different in Canada, therefore these two are repeated in a Canadian version at the end of the file. Consider laminating cards if you wish to use again. If playing Scoot, place or stick the cards on desks so that all students can answer one at a time. Give students a 1-page or 2-page blank answer grid. Consider mixed ability pairs and / or supplying the Christmas vocabulary support sheet for differentiation. Set a timer so that students have 30 seconds to sit and answer a card before scooting to the next one. All students move at the same time when the allotted time is done. You can call “Scoot!” or perhaps “Allez!” each time. Ensure you explain to students in which direction they should move. When students have answered all cards, mark together. An answer key is included. Even if you don’t have 40 students, you can still use all cards if you have a big enough space to arrange them. However, if you only want the same number of cards as you have students, you can remove some of the later cards. It’s also possible to remove cards you feel might be too hard for your students. Substitute cards you don’t wish to use with the included Pause Cards, numbering them appropriately and thus allowing students to take intermittent short brain breaks.   MEGABUNDLES: French KS2 / KS3 MEGA BUNDLE 1 French KS2 / KS3 MEGA BUNDLE 2

The letters in the shaded boxes, reading from top to bottom, form a French sentence. Students write this on the lines at the bottom, placing one letter on each dash (slashes separate the words), and translate it. Choose which version you require for your students, depending on age, experience and ability: The 1-star versions have some of the letters added to the grid to support students, the 2-star versions just have the first letter of each word (or if the first letter is in a shaded box, the rest of the word has been supplied instead), while the 3-star versions (hardest) feature entirely blank grids. You can also differentiate by supplying the vocabulary support list to students who require it. This approach works especially well with the 2-star puzzles as students can use the first letter of any word they don’t know to find the French translation relatively quickly. MORE TIPS: Students could work on these puzzles in groups or mixed ability pairs. To use again, laminate and use dry-wipe pens. Students could be encouraged to use French dictionaries or the Internet for words they do not know. They could also use them to check the meaning of the hidden sentence.

Beginners French Language KS2 / KS3 (Year 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8) Les Objets de la Classe / Dans la Salle de Classe) PowerPoint Presentation. Over 100 slides, including interactive vocabulary games, plus a PDF file of flash cards for the 18 key classroom words that are taught in the presentation. Includes 18 key classroom words.   My FSL / MFL French basics resources and units suit students beginning French, near beginners (and intermediate learners for revision) in: Upper Primary (Key Stage 2) - Year 4, 5, 6 (Y4 Y5 Y6) Secondary (Key Stage 3) - especially Year 7 and 8 (Y7 / Y8) Equivalents such as Grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Core French in Canada May suit others, depending on experience   The Powerpoint includes teaching points about gender / plurals of French nouns and the difference between using un / une / des , le / la / les and mon / ma / mes. It teaches children how to answer questions such as 'Qu’est-ce que c’est? (What it it?) and ‘Tu as une gomme / un crayon?’ (Do you have an eraser / pencil? etc). Includes words for door, window, chair, other furniture as well as pencil-case / schoolbag / stationery / school supplies items ( dans ma trousse / dans mon sac / mes affaires). Due to differences between UK and US terms for some of these words, I have included 2 versions to cater for both. Please note the previews show the UK versions. After the vocabulary has been introduced and key teaching points explained, further slides test the students’ vocabulary before the answer appears on the click of the mouse. There are tasks for students to understand and talk about what is in pencil cases and bags. Also, two interactive games are included. Un Jeu de Kim (Kim’s Game) is a memory game and works well with groups competing to be the first to write the correct French word on their whiteboard for the object that is missing. ‘Frappez les Objets’ is a ‘Splat’ game, where a small group competes to hit or point at the correct picture when the teacher says the French object. A non-interactive PDF version of the PowerPoint is also included in case you don’t have PowerPoint. In most cases where terms differ between UK English and US English, both terms have been included. You can get this presentation alongside games, flashcards, a worksheet and puzzles in this bundle: French Classroom Objects Bundle ALSO INCLUDED IN: **French KS2 / KS3 MEGA BUNDLE 1 Please visit FullShelf Resources You might also like: French KS2 / KS3 MEGA BUNDLE 2 French KS2 / KS3 MEGA BUNDLE 3
