These printable handouts accompany a video about summer holidays in France on YouTube. The video is not my property and is not downloadable with this resource. You will need to watch it online. The video is about 7 minutes long, and this resource includes one page with 12 questions in English to share with your students for discussion about summer holidays prior to watching the video. The second page includes 12 questions written in English to be answered while watching the video. There is a vocabulary list in French and English of all 44 French words introduced in the video. Finally, to wrap up the lesson there is a fun crossword puzzle to complete. The clues are given in English and the answers are in French.
These resources make it easy to transform a short 7 minute video into a comprehensive cultural lesson that you’ll feel good about using with your students. The video is presented by Géraldine from Comme une Française. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW2pjyj7vYg.

Playing games and having fun is when learning really happens in French class. I love to play the game Taboo with my students. French Taboo is a game that is easy to modify and use with beginners and advanced students alike. This Taboo set is about the wonderful and delightful classic story of the Petit Prince written by Antoine de Saint Exupéry. This Taboo set Special le Petit Prince edition includes 167 Vocabulary words translated as well as files in French only. Great for Immersion schools!
Object of the game
One player tries to get his teammate to guess the word at the top of a card. The player must give clues, but he can’t use any of the Taboo words in his description. The taboo words are written beneath the underlined word at the top of the card. Teams score points for each word successfully guessed. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. The teams take turn guessing and verifying no Taboo words have been used. You can also play this game in pairs if everyone agrees not to cheat.
Beginner students should be allowed to use the French TABOO words printed on the cards. This will encourage them to use new vocabulary and will help them in forming sentences to use as clues.
You can also have your students study the vocabulary on the cards!

Here’s what some teachers have to say about these French conversation cards:
Great addition to my resources. Merci. The students really enjoy using these for our conversation times.
Excellent resource! Many different verb tenses used. I am looking forward to using them later in the year with my french 3 students.
I love these! Thank you so much for putting these together. Printed and put on rings they are a great filler for any time.
Use these cards at the end of the year to bring together all that your upper level students have learned, use them at back to school as a review, or just cut them out and have them ready to go on key rings at any time of the year for quick bell ringer activities or for when you want your students to practice speaking French. You can even use these cards as writing prompts.
Merci beaucoup!
My French students always get confused when expressing durations of time. This resource includes a one page handout with simplified rules and examples in French and English for when to use pour, pendant, depuis, and il y a. There is space beneath each rule and example for students to write their own examples in French and English.
The exercise that follows includes 25 sentences for students to fill in the blanks with pour, pendant, depuis or il y a. A variety of tenses are used in this exercise. Sentences are written in the present tense, passé composé with both être and avoir as helping verbs, futur proche, passé récent, futur simple, and imperfect. Answer key is included.

30 French speaking prompt question cards - Le cinéma - The movies
Want your French students to use their movie vocabulary in meaningful context? Use the cards to teach them the vocabulary if you want. This low prep activity is a fun way to encourage your students to speak more and engage in conversation. It is a perfect resource to use in immersion, core or homeschool curriculums.
You can use these cards after teaching specific vocabulary and grammar for movies or as a fun interactive activity on a day when you want to just focus on speaking and reviewing vocabulary in a different way. Read on to find out the many ways I like to use these cards including the popular SCOOT game. Instructions and recording sheet are included.
All cards are visually stimulating and feature a circle to punch out in the upper left corner so that you can print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and hook the cards together with a ring. Using these cards this way makes it easy to pull them out year after year to use as NO PREP speaking activities.

✫ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out correct answers to false statements.
✫ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.
✫ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.
✫ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer true or false and to correct the false statements. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question. All cards are numbered so it is simple to stay organized. Full instructions are included.
✫ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.
✫ Use the cards as an icebreaker activity at the beginning of the school year or right after school holidays.

**Full year French writing program - 50 French writing activities - Écriture sans préparation **
This whole year French writing program will have your students writing every day. Each of the fifty writing activities in this program includes five pre-writing and writing activities for Monday through Friday. These writing prompts are a great way both to introduce and to review writing. Provide each student with a paragraphe de la semaine folder and have them add to it every day as you give them daily assignments. At the end of the week have them turn in their folders. On Monday, you can start over again with a new theme.
This paragraphe de la semaine writing resource contains 50 weeks worth of Monday through Friday prewriting and writing activities. When you purchase this French writing bundle you save 25% and as a bundle bonus you also get the same prompts in the form of speaking cards for differentiated learning. This encourages students to speak to each other in small groups using the same themes and vocabulary they’ve worked with through the writing program. For the speaking prompts, there is also a PDF with only one card per slide if you prefer to project the prompts or use them on tablets rather than printing.
Use these weekly no prep writing activities with many different levels whether you teach primary immersion, primary core, or traditional middle and high school. You can easily modify the activities for older students. The themed prompts are suitable for any age.

Here’s how this writing program works:
✍Lundi: Je dessine - Give students a drawing page with a writing prompt at the top. This will have them beginning to think about the writing theme for the week and is their first pre-writing assignment. Kids love drawing, and the pictures they draw will later serve as inspiration!
✍Mardi: Mon livret de vocabulaire - Each student receives a booklet to help them explore the vocabulary related to the week’s writing theme. The front page includes the writing prompt of the week and an image. The second page includes over 80 frequently used French words. Page three lists 12 words that go along with the theme of the week, and the back page has space for ten words that students have either thought of on their own or looked up in the dictionary. The booklet is a simple one page printable that you can either fold in advance or have students do it on their own. Kids write their name on the front cover and you could have them color it.
✍Mercredi: Vocabulaire - Students go back to their vocabulary booklets from Tuesday and choose ten words that they will include in their rough draft. The words they choose can be a combination of words they have chosen and themed vocabulary that was already written in the booklet. They then write down the chosen words on their vocabulary page that says “ Mots de vocabulaire utiles: J’utiliserai ces mots dans mon paragraphe.”
✍Jeudi: Mon brouillon - Students write a rough draft of their paragraph using the vocabulary words selected on Wednesday. The brouillon page includes a 5 point checklist at the top for students to evaluate their work for themselves before writing the final copy on Friday. This will motivate students to look over their work and make corrections.
✍Vendredi: Ma copie propre - The fifth and final step in this writing program is to write the final copy. Students should feel very confident in writing about this week’s theme by now. At the top of the final copy page they’ll see the writing prompt and question words that they can ask themselves while writing: qui - quoi - quand - où - pourquoi - comment

Part of our series of “discussions ciblées”. List of 35 vocabulary words related to health Includes 20 discussion questions. The questions are suitable for upper level and AP French or for middle and high school French immersion. This resource is especially useful for your chapter on health. The questions are thorough and thought provoking as always! I like to print the list of words on one side of a page and the questions on the other side so that students can easily refer to the new vocabulary during their conversations. If you make a two sided copy everything will fit on one page.

❖ La nourriture - Food - Discussions ciblées - French themed conversation questions ❖
Part of our series of “discussions ciblées”. List of 35 vocabulary words related to food with 20 discussion questions. The questions are suitable for upper level and AP French or for middle and high school French immersion. This resource is especially useful for your chapter on food and restaurants.
I like to print the list of words on one side of a page and the questions on the other side so that students can easily refer to the new vocabulary during their conversations. If you make a two sided copy everything will fit on one page. A page with French vocabulary and no English translation for immersion programs is included.
Also included is a set of speaking cards for students to use prior to using the discussion cards so that they can become familiar with the theme and many new words. The cards just need to be printed and cut out so that your students can use them in pairs or small groups. Each card says, “Décris le mot suivant en français et ton partenaire le devinera.” The vocabulary word is written both in French and English since many of the words will be new. This exposure to the vocabulary will make the discussion that follows flow easier. Students will still have easy access to the list of words on the other side of the photocopied questions.
Don’t want to print? That’s ok! A PDF with just one card per page is included for easy projecting or for tablets.
