KS2 / KS3 Beginners French Language Colours / Colors vocabulary PowerPoint lesson presentation, printable games, activities, a worksheet, crossword and word search. Introduction and revision of 11 French colour (or color) words. The colours are introduced using the questions ‘C’est quelle couleur?’ (referring to the colour itself) and ‘C’est de quelle couleur?’ (referring to the colour of objects / animals etc).
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 presentation suits learners who are new or fairly new to French but it also includes teaching points about female and plural forms of the colour adjectives, which you can use if appropriate, plus an introduction to the words for ‘light’ and ‘dark’ colours. With almost 50 slides, it also includes pronunciation tips, an interactive Kim’s game and a slide for a splat game, where children can ‘splat’ the colour that’s been said in French by the teacher. Students are also invited to show the teacher classroom objects of a particular colour so if they already know the name of some classroom objects this will help. Alternatively, they could learn some for this activity. An additional US spelling version of the presentation is included.
The Four in a Row game works well in either A3 or A4 and can be used with the colour word cards. Use different colour paper or card when printing the word cards so that opponents can play with a different colour set. Students put their cards in a pile, taking the top one and choosing strategically which space to place it on (as long the colour on the space matches the word on the card!). Or laminate the board and students mark on their initial with a dry-wipe marker if they correctly say the colour in French. First to get four in a row - vertically, horizontally or diagonally - is the winner. There are also 8 cards for games of bingo and/or noughts and crosses (tic tac toe) and a 20-card ‘I Have…Who Has?’ game / Loop game. This latter resource features some light and dark versions of the colours.
The worksheet is included with and without a word bank for support. Full answer keys for the worksheet and puzzles. The printables are all in PDF format.

While the PDF version does not retain the ability for teachers to reveal answers by clicking, it will still enable you introduce and review this topic if you do not have PowerPoint where you work. The Hexagons game is not compatible with PDF.
Slides about where you live and where you come from focus on examples about Germany and other German-speaking countries, together with English-speaking countries such as US, Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
This presentation is suitable for teaching younger or older students and adults as you have all the slides and examples you need to teach using either the informal ‘du’ or formal ‘Sie’ for ‘you’. It begins by using the informal ‘du’, which is ideal for younger students but at the end of the presentation (from slide 117), there are additional versions of relevant slides, the role-plays and the hexagon game, all using the formal ‘Sie’. You can either use the presentation all the way through, teaching both ‘du’ and ‘Sie’ or stop at slide 116 (especially if teaching younger students).

Please note that almost all the text in the PowerPoint is editable, however the other content of the slides is not.
Many slides in the original PowerPoint version feature answers that appear when you click, for students to respond. An additional PDF version is included. While the PDF version does not retain the ability for teachers to reveal answers by clicking, it will still help you introduce and review this topic if you do not have PowerPoint where you work. Please note that the Hexagons, Hangman and Reveal the Picture games are not compatible with PDF and are therefore omitted from that version.
Also within the Zip file is a PDF of flash cards for 30 emotions and feelings in French, with two on each page.
WORKSHEETS AND PUZZLES:
Vocabulary support pages to display or print if required. 3 pages of word mats with photographic images, covering all 30 key phrases, a 1-page vocabulary list, an adjectival agreement table and a support page for être and avoir. All can also be used as prompts for classroom speaking activities. These vocabulary pages are also contained in my Les émotions et sentiments Games pack.
6 worksheets, all differentiated two ways using a star system. The one-star version is the least challenging, for lower ability, younger or less experienced students. Includes jumbled words, translation tasks, fill the blanks tasks and a short reading comprehension.
3 puzzles - There’s a grid puzzle, hidden word puzzle and a maze. The grid puzzle is differentiated, with the first letter given for each word in the easier version. In the hidden word puzzle, students find translation errors and use linked letters to uncover the missing word to complete a related sentence. In the maze, students make a pathway by correctly translating emotions and feelings into French.
Full answer keys
GAMES AND ACTIVITIES:
Sentences Board Game: Students say aloud in French the translations of the sentences they land on. Includes some first person singular sentences but also second, third and plural too. Print and laminate boards for repeated use. Answer key included.
Four in a Row Game: Print and laminate the game board. Enlarge if using with a bigger group. First to get four in a row - vertically, horizontally or diagonally - wins. Students roll dice, then choose an emotion / feeling from that number column and say it in French. If correct, use a dry-wipe marker to put a symbol or initial in that box (opponents could use a different colour dry-wipe marker).
Loop Game: A speaking game for groups or the whole class. Print and laminate for repeated use. The 30 cards form a continuous loop so it doesn’t matter which one you start with.
“Comment te sens-tu?” Active Oral Game: Print and laminate the cards you want to use. 36 cards in the set. Students have one card each and must move around the room, asking in French how others are feeling, aiming to meet the person with the matching card. Students must reply in French, using the image on their card.
Mime Game: A team game, where students mime feelings to make their teammates guess correctly in French.
Square Jigsaw Puzzle: Students rearrange the puzzle pieces so that each French feelings phrases is placed next to the English translation. When completed, the letters on the outside edge of the big square will form a linked sentence.

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.
