An aide-mémoire! Lists of food and drink to use with any year or ability. Plenty of space to add more vocab’ as pupils come across it. Print double-sided to make a booklet. NOTE: my PC has corrected the French “vanille” to the English, “vanilla”. Can’t yet find a way to change it back: please get your students to correct it! I might do this by asking them to find the deliberate mistake… :)

Survey grid to complete about hobbies in French. Extension included. Visually appealing. Learners circulate the classroom and ask as many people as possible about sports. Could extend with graphs/writing up results/third person writing and so on.
La Maison
A French group activity to help describe your house.
Décrit sa maison
How does it work?
First, give everyone a copy of the text.
Learners start by filling in the literacy sheet on this.
Next, randomly give out the pictures which you (of course in all that spare time you’ve got…) have printed and cut up.
Learners then use the text as a basis for writing by working as a group. They can then present their writing to the class at the end. The class try to work out which property they have described and give reasons why.
Alternatively… not in the mood for group work? Give each learner a picture to do the writing individually. Or even in pairs! Bon courage…
Looking for GCSE French jobs consolidation? This is a great work booklet to develop listening, reading and writing. Tasks include picture and word matching vocabulary presentation, puzzles, reading comprehensions, scaffolded writing, a couple of listening activities and independent writing tasks with cues.
If you have introduced GCSE learners to the French jobs topic, this is the ideal resource for you. You can use it to consolidate prior learning. If you haven’t taught the topic, use this resource for them to work out or deduce the vocabulary themselves.
Although prior knowledge is assumed, a long bilingual vocabulary list is included to help. Some research on vocabulary and structures might be needed, depending on the ability of your learners.
Ideal for
Distance learning. Open in edit mode and click in the text areas to answer. The background won’t move
Consolidation of the French topic the world of work
Independent learning
Helping with listening skills: 3 pages include listening tasks
The answer pages are given after the main work booklet and therefore may be printed separately or given when needed, rather than in one go to learners. Sample answers are given for writing tasks since, as I’m sure you will understand, responses can vary considerably.
Other uses for the booklet include using the sheets separately for starter tasks or cover lessons, even homework.
Tasks include:
reading comprehensions
scaffolded writing
gap-fills
listening
independent writing task with cues
puzzles*
For examples of vocabulary covered, see the end of the listing.

Class survey. Sports would have been introduced first. Use the survey to practise the question 'Tu aimes ... ?' plus different sports. There is a variety of answers that can be given to the questions with different symbols for each. Pupils mark the answers on the grid using these symbols. Model the conversation and how to do the survey before the whole class does it.
Extension work in the grey sections encourages further development of conversational language. Check learning with short performances of the conversations and/or follow up with writing up of some conversations.
Noël: A pack of French Christmas resources for years 7 to 11. 5 or more sheets per year group which eliminates the need to scrabble around every year as they are all different. Starts basic for Y7 with vocabulary based sheets/word search etc and by Y11 they have some multiple choice reading comprehension to do.
If you can’t fit these in to your SoW, why not use them for French club, HW or just for keen beans!
I’ve included a PDF of everything plus another copy which has hints/tips/answers also brought over from the original. Note: they print landscape.
