I made these worksheets for my year 6 but they can be used for older pupils. The various tasks will help practise their writing skill on breakfast food and drinks. The cross-words task can be used with help or with very little help depending on your children’s ability. For my class I only added a few letters for each word and they have to work out what could be the breakfast food. There is also a battleship to practise speaking as a pair-work.

Here is another worksheet I have created around the World Cup 2022. There is wordsearch with the names of the countries in French. There is a grammar task (sorting them into masculin, feminin and pluriel category and using the correct article). Finally there is a task around colours as the pupils have to colour the flags and write down the country in French. I have attached the answer sheet.

Here are three listening tasks (two on the 2018 World Cup and one on 2022 World Cup). I have copied and pasted the Youtube link. This is an authentic resource made by the Federation Francaise de Foot. It gives the opportunity to engage pupils’ interest especially the boys’. The pupils will be able to see listen and see some famous players getting their lunch while doing this comprehension task. It offers opportunity to recap previous learning on food and greetings.

Here is a powerpoint presentation on rooms of the house with family members and pets. I made it as a guessing game to encourage my primary children to say where mon pere, ma mere, mon frere, ma soeur, mon chien and mon chat are (all the answers are on the last slide). I would use the battle-ship template or the worksheet (piece de la maison, famille and verb etre) as a written support to help them say correctly the sentence. I have included a lot of written support for my primary but it can be obviously be deleted and adapted for more confident learners. Attached to this powerpoint are some worksheets (differentiated) I made to practise writing and reading skills.

Here is a booklet (with differentiated tasks) on the Football Word Cup 2022. It gives the opportunity to recap names of countries/nationalities and the languages spoken. It also gives the opportunity to recap colours (flags) and tackles geographical and general knowledge. I have also attached the answer sheets. NB: To introduce players, I had in mind the clubs they play or played for and therefore the language they had to learn. However some football players may speak more languages e.g. Kylian Mbappe is apparently fluent in English and Spanish but has only played in France.

Here is a powerpoint I created for my primary children to recap the weather and the days of the week. The third slide gives the opportunity to practise reading and writing skills as the children have to spot the correct sentence. I have used pictures pictures of famous towns and places in France. The worksheets have various differentiated tasks

These worksheets have been created to help year 6 children order breakfast food and drinks while visiting France. I use ‘je voudrais’ but this can be changed to ‘je mange’ and ‘je bois’. They would suit perfectly upper ks2 children and ks3 pupils.

A reading and listening pair-work activity where children have to read sentences to each other. They can’t show their sentence and they have to sit back to back to do this activity. One child reads a sentence about the price of some food and the other listens and record. This is a challenging activity for confident and capable children or pupils.

A powerpoint presentation to practise the basics ‘je m’appelle’ with famous historical figures. It also teaches how to use ‘il or elle s’appelle’ and ‘ils or elles s’appellent’ when introducing other people. You will also find two worksheets to practise using them correctly.

A powerpoint presentation to introduce different colours of hair and colours of eyes using different characters from Harry Potter. It can be used to recap previous learning or to introduce new vocabulary. I use slides 1, 9, 10, 11 and 12 to introduce new language. I get the children to repeat the new language (playing a repetition game against me). Then I reuse the same slides as a support for pair-work (mouthe and guess, encore une fois…etc). There is a speaking activity (nought and crosses game) where the pupils need to say the colour of hair or eyes or the hair length or style. The slide 14 is a model for a writing activity. Obviously depending on their ability or previous learning , pupils can say or write a bit more.

This is a powerpoint I made last year during lockdown when my primary children were working from home.There is an audio recording (French native speaker) for the key vocabulary which is ideal if you are not confident at French but have to teach it. Obviously you can get rid of it, if you want to. To make sure the lesson catered for all abilities, I kept it simple and use repetition a lot to drill key vocab. There are a couple of differentiated reading and writing tasks at the end.

Here are two powerpoints to explain and introduce key vocabulary about Easter in France and four worksheets which will cater for lower and upper ks2 children. I made these differentiated worksheets for my year 3, year 4 and year 5 children but they can be adapted for other years. One of the activities is a wordsearch. I haven’t attached the twelve they have to find. You can see the list on the year 3 worksheet.

A powerpoint to introduce or recap colour of hair and colour of eyes (with Disney characters, Harry Potter and famous portraits). I added other details e.g. j’ai des lunettes, une moustache, une barbe, un chapeau. I have also attached a couple of snakes and ladders to practise this topic.

Two worksheets to practise using the verb etre at the present tense with different pronouns and adjectives. There is a also a speaking activity card game to be used in group or with a partner. Children have to translate into the French/ English. Suitable for upper keystage 2 children (year 6 or high ability year 5) but also suitable for Ks3 pupils (year 7, 8 and 9) who need to practise this high frequency verb.

Few worksheets with differentiated tasks to practise using adjectives to describe ourselves. I used resources from Bruno Guillemin to introduce some of the vocabulary. These worksheets would suit well primary aged children (year 3 to year 6) and lower ability secondary children (year 7).

Here are a powerpoint presentation on family and a worksheet on pets. The powerpoint can be used as a recap of family members names or an introduction to the topic ‘la famille’.I haven’t changed any of the characters names as pupils have most likely read the books or seen the films in English and won’t know their names in French. To tackle grammar I use three colours (blue for masculine nouns, red for feminine nous and green for plural). I also use these three colours for the different pronouns e.g. il, elle, ils and elles. I have included a writing task to go along the presentation (slide 16) so that the pupils have to read and listen carefully while the presentation is being played. The powerpoint includes differentiated writing and reading tasks (gap-fills, translation, true or false and spot the grammatical errors). The slides 22 to 27 show the answers. The worksheet can be used as a recap task on pets.

Speaking-task on opinions and fruits. This battle-ship game is ideal to get children to practise opinions and fruits. It caters for lower ability children that need written support but you can delete the words to challenge more confident children. I use it with my year 6 pupils.

Here are two comprehension tasks with differentiated questions. It’s a long text using past and future tense. One worksheet contains questions in French to answer using full sentences, some translation and a short grammar task on some frequency verbs. The other sheet has questions in English. It would suit well a high ability year 9/year 10. This text can also be used later as a model to support their own writing. I have attached the answer sheet.

Here is a range of resources to practise common French words and short sentences. They can be used as a recap or to introduce French to new learners. There are a card game and a snakes and ladders game to practise speaking. There is a worksheet with differentiated tasks (the first two are for LA and the last two can be used for MA or HA children). Finally I made a powerpoint with audio recording (can be deleted) to listen to the sound of these common words/expressions. There is a slide on some French sounds and children have to list the words that have these sounds.

A worksheet to go alongside the powerpoint ‘comment tu t’appelles ? Comment s’appelle-t-elle/il?’ using famous historical figures or paintings. Opportunity to test children’s cultural knowledge.
