Our young generations of students are worried about the environment and global warming. I have designed this resource with my class of teenagers in mind who are eager to know more about the issue.
I would suggest you use it with a group of intermediate/advanced students. It can also be quite handy for complete French speakers.
You can use these speaking cards as a starter to check how much they know about the topic and you can also get them engaged in mini-debates.
The 45 cards are differentiated in terms of levels (15 green easy cards, 15 orange medium level cards and 15 red harder cards) to provide some differentiation.
You can use them as such in small groups or pairs of students or you can use the mini-game provided.
A good pair of scissors, a laminator and here you go!
This fun resource has been designed to help young learners discover how to put syllables together in French to create words. It will help them decipher the syllables while having fun and working collaboratively.
The other good thing about this playing cards resource is that you will be able to use it over and over again if you laminate the cards.
So here are the objectives of the playing card games:
Identifying the sounds and the syllables
Identifying and reading syllables and words
Here’s what you get:
88 playing cards:
24 blue caterpillar cards with consonant sounds: m-n-gn-p-t-c-cu-k-qu-b-d-g-gu-f-ph-s-ç-ch-x
64 green caterpillar cards vowel sounds: a(x2)-e(x2)-i(x2)-o(x2)-u(x2)-y(x2)-é(x2)-è(x2)-eu-oe-oeu-au-eau-ai-ei-est-es-er-et-ez-oi-ou-on-om-in-im-ain-aim-ein-ym-un-um-an-am-en-em-ion-ien-ian-ieu-oin-ette-esse-erre-enne-eff-elle-ill-ail-aille-eil-eille-euil-euille-ouil-ouille
A “split caterpillar” to facilitate the reading progression
5 ideas of games: Every game is explained step-by-step so that you can vary the learning in your class easily
1 DIY box for the game: You just need to print it off and follow the lines!
(some designs for your box/cards as an extra)
The font and designs have been created to bring clarity to all learners
All you will need is a good pair of scissors, and ideally a laminator and cardboard for the box.
Have fun! Check my other playing cards for more efficiency in your class!
