In each presentation there are activities / interactive games from the following selection: role-plays, translation tasks, quizzes, comprehension tasks, memory games, splat, hexagons, hangman, reveal the picture, bingo etc.   UPDATES AND NEW CONTENT! The resources in this bundle are often added to (especially with new interactive games added), so if you buy now you will be able to access any additional content, when available, at no extra charge.   Please note the PowerPoints contain mostly editable text.

Additional PDF versions of many of the presentations have been added for convenience in case teachers don’t have PowerPoint access at some point. Some of these additional PDF versions are yet to be added but you can download the bundle again for no extra charge when I update the content to include these. Please note that the additional PDF version of the presentations do not retain the interactivity of the PowerPoint. As a result, interactive elements have been omitted from the PDF versions.

Challenge: Fun hidden sentence extension!   HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE THIS ACTIVITY: There are 2 versions of the clue sheets – one with just the word itself in English (to be translated into French) and an easier version with the first letter given. Choose whether to provide the alphabetical answer list, perhaps just to support certain students, or distribute it only when students have done as much as they can independently Consider using mixed-ability groups Decide whether to allow access to online or traditional dictionaries, perhaps later when students have completed as much as they can independently Consider whether to use the hidden sentence challenge version (students use a blank grid with stars printed on certain squares, and then put the letters together from the star boxes to spell out a hidden word). There are 2 versions of the recording sheet for this challenge, should you wish to use them, and separate answer keys Early finishers could be directed to online sources to check out the pronunciation of unfamiliar words Whatever you choose, I hope your students have as much fun completing it as I did compiling it!

3 Resources
This French MFL / FSL Key Stage 2 or Key Stage 3 (KS2 / KS3) BUNDLE will help you plan a Le Transport, Les Moyens de Transport or Les Véhicules en Français (Means of Transportation / Vehicles in French) unit. It contains a 100+ slide interactive PowerPoint presentation, flash cards, worksheets, puzzles, printable games and activities. There are resources here for multiple lessons to teach and review vocabulary and phrases through speaking, reading and writing activities. There’s also differentiation to suit different abilities or levels of French experience. My French basics / beginners resources are designed for Year 4, 5, 6 and 7 (and equivalents in other countries) but might suit others, depending on experience. Please check the previews. Due to a small number of differences between UK and US (‘lorry’ is changed to ‘truck’ and ‘van’ is replaced by the very common ‘pick-up truck’ etc), there are additional US versions of all resources. The word ‘transportation’ replaces ‘transport’ in the US versions too. All resources are in PDF, apart from the presentation, which is a PowerPoint (but it is also included in PDF).   The following 3 resource packs are included in this money-saving bundle: French Transport Worksheets and Puzzles French Transport Games and Activities French Transport Presentation and Flash Cards   TRANSPORT RESOURCES ALSO INCLUDED IN: French KS2 / KS3 MEGA BUNDLE 3   MORE INFO: Les Moyens de Transport resources focus on a core range of 18 transport types: plane, bicycle, boat, bus, car, campervan, by foot, helicopter, horseback, hot air balloon, lorry, motorbike, pick-up truck, ship, submarine, taxi, tractor, train, van.

Any clues not managed could perhaps be looked up online or in a French dictionary. It’s fine in A4 but if you are using it with a larger group you might want to print in A3. Answer and instruction cardsare included. Boards 1 and 2 feature French words to be translated into English, while boards 3 and 4 feature English words to be translated into French. Board 5 is for lower ability pupils and features pictures and multiple choice answers. Most vocabulary comes from these topics: calendar (le calendrier) - days (les jours de la semaine), months (les mois), dates etc. numbers (les nombres / les numeros) introductions and greetings weather (la meteo / le temps) classroom objects (les objets de la classe) colours (les couleurs) GIANT FRENCH BASICS CROSSWORD: Beginners French vocabulary writing revision activity for French Numbers (Les Nombres / Les Numeros), Calendar (Days, Months, Dates - Les Jours, Les Mois, La Date), Greetings and Introductions, Colours (Les Couleurs), Weather (La Meteo / Le Temps), Classroom Objects (Les Objets de la Classe) and more. A large (about 100 clues) crossword puzzle, ideal for group work, with children perhaps competing against other groups to solve the puzzle as fast as possible. In addition to the Crossword Solution, there is also an alphabetical list of answers which you can give out to pupils for support where necessary. It’s fine in A4 but if you are using it with a larger group you might want to print in A3. FRENCH GREETINGS AND INTRODUCTIONS GAMES: Beginners French Speaking Games for this key area. A board game and vocabulary card for fun practice of basic French greetings (les salutations), farewells and introductions (Je me presente / Introducing myself), six 10-card loop games and a jigsaw puzzle. Instructions for all activities are included. With the board game, students take turns to roll a dice and move the appropriate number of spaces. They have to say aloud in French the word, phrase or question they land on, otherwise they return to the space they came from. 3 versions are included (with minor changes around nationality and country to suit different locations). The vocabulary card can be provided for support where required. There are also six 10-card loop games, which are coloured differently. If printing in black and white use different coloured card to help keep them separate. Designed for oral practice in small groups, with a student reading out the English word or phrase on their card and others checking if they have the French translation, then reading this out - and so on until the loop is completed. In each loop you can start at any point. With the jigsaw puzzle, print, laminate and cut out the 16 triangular pieces. Students match key French vocabulary with English translations to build a larger triangle. For previews and further information, please see the individual resources.
