These French speaking prompts are perfect for developing speaking skills in French - there are 100 question and answer cards and a reference book aimed at KS3 French moving into KS4 French, with a specific focus on French reflexive verbs in the present tense.
The cards are also great for multi-skill language learning - they give students structured talk opportunities and will also get them listening, reading and writing. They’re ideal for independent learning, and perfect for pair and small-group work - my students frequently select the speaking and writing cards for their free-choice learning activity.
The reference book includes all the questions and answers written out in French. Students find it a very useful learning support resources and it’s also handy for whole-group pronunciation and reading-out loud practice. Students use the Ideas, Notes and Next Steps template to reflect on their learning, and think about what they might reasonably do to progress in their learning - we use this to guide and inform discussions we have as a whole-group about where students think they are at the moment, and what they think they might like to work a little more on. They also jot down ideas for their own question and answers that they create for each other.
The question and answer card writing templates give students the opportunity to apply their French practically, as they create both questions and answers for each other, using the reference book as a form of writing frame to help them form their language correctly. This is a great team activity too. We also use the cards for a whole range of games, and I’ve described how to play several you can start with that work really well for us.

FRENCH RESOURCE BOX #1
**FRENCH RESOURCE BOX : FIVE RESOURCES @ £2.00 EACH** ***Files are non-editable in zipped formats. They are copyright, all rights reserved. They may not be 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 carefully.*** ***This French resource box is ideal for KS3 French, KS4 French and GCSE French revision***. There are 5 resources, each for £2, featuring ***active, differentiated, multi-skill and independent learning activities***. Some of the resources overlap learning stages, though I’ve found that students, regardless of ages, often benefit from, and genuinely enjoy, working with activities that are primarily designed for other ability or knowledge stages. This may be either as ***practice and revision***, or as ***additional or more accessible and manageable challenge***. These factors are all key to motivating learners to engage with, and progress in, a new language. There’s certainly prep work involved with some of the resources – I always laminate my language and challenge cards for example, as they’re much more easy to manipulate, and so far more learner-friendly. They do however last in excellent condition for years, so for me, laminating is definitely worth the prep time and extra expense. You don’t have to prepare them all at once – the resources are definitely useful for the longer-term, so you can take your time with the prep, focusing on what you’re working with at any specific stage. Over time, I’ve created activity folders with ready-made resources in, and give my students free-choice time – alone, in pairs or small groups. They decide what they’d like to work on for half an hour or so, and sometimes even a full lesson. We do this pretty regularly, as it’s great for keeping language fresh, and ideal for both ***consolidation and revision***. Additionally, and equally importantly, it helps students ***develop independent learning skills***, moving away from teacher-led learning, and ***gives them real insight into their own learning progress***. The workbooks, worksheets and word searches for example are good to go – simply print and photocopy. **RESOURCE 1** ***500 High-Frequency French Verbs Reference Book***, alphabetically French-English & English-French ideal for intermediate French preparing to move into advanced French students, and I also use them for advanced beginner French students to provide a language learning map. ***Read the full outline here:*** **500 HIGH-FREQUENCY FRENCH VERBS : REFERENCE BOOK FRENCH-ENGLISH & ENGLISH-FRENCH** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-verbs-book-1-12775401](http://) **RESOURCE 2** ***French Dates, Days, Months, Seasons Challenge Cards*** 36 differentiated challenge cards focusing on dates, days, months & seasons in French, with answer key, vocabulary list & recording sheet.
