French Places in Town City En Ville BUNDLE

Plan a KS3 or KS2 Les Endroits en Ville, Les Lieux de la Ville, Ma Ville or Les Bâtiments de la Ville (French Town Buildings) unit with this BUNDLE. Contains a 109-slide interactive presentation (with teaching points, vocabulary, interactive review games, and quiz), flashcards, worksheets, puzzles, fun printable games and activities; enough for multiple lessons to teach and review vocabulary, phrases, and sentences through speaking, reading and writing activities, and there’s differentiation too. Originally designed for the classroom, much of the content is compatible with distance learning, especially the worksheets and presentation. Due to UK and US word and spelling variations, alternative versions of resources are included where relevant.

 
My FSL / MFL French basics resources and units suit students beginning French, near beginners and intermediate learners in:

• Upper Primary (Key Stage 2 KS2) - Year 4, 5, 6 (Y4 Y5 Y6)
• Secondary (Key Stage 3 KS3) - 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

 
Please check the previews to see a sample of the resources. All resources are in PDF, apart from the presentation, which is in PowerPoint (but it is also included in PDF).

PRESENTATION AND FLASHCARDS

In addition to introducing key vocabulary and phrases, this presentation includes activities such as:

• Sentence translation activities
• 2 short comprehension tasks
• 3 rounds of an interactive Hexagons Game (where teams compete to translate topic vocabulary and make a path through the grid)
• 5-rounds of an interactive Picture Grids Game, where teams compete to discover a hidden image while practicing their French vocabulary
• A 20-question interactive Multiple Choice Quiz, where students must choose the correct translation of basic sentences linked to the topic

 
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 game and Picture Grids game are not compatible with PDF and are therefore omitted from that version. The Multiple Choice Quiz has been left in the PDF version, although it is not interactive in that format.
 
Also within the Zip file is a PDF of flash cards for places in town, with two on each page.

 
WORKSHEETS AND PUZZLES

• Vocabulary pages: A word mat of French words with images for 30 places in town (also in black and white format) and a 2-page vocabulary list, including key linked phrases. Display or print for students that require them. These pages can also be used as prompts for classroom speaking activities.
• 7 worksheets, all differentiated at least two ways using a star system. The one-star version is the least challenging, for lower ability, younger or less experienced students. Worksheets 3 and 4 are differentiated 3 ways. Includes jumbled words, translation tasks, a drawing task, and a short reading comprehension.
• 3 puzzles - There’s a wordsearch, grid puzzle and hidden word puzzle. The first two puzzles are differentiated: the one-star version of the wordsearch gives the start of the French words, while the grid puzzle is included with around half the letters missing, most of the letters missing or all of the letters missing. Accents are not included in the wordsearch.
• Full answer keys

 
PRINTABLE GAMES

• 2 x Four in a Row - 2 different game boards. Print and laminate for repeated use. Ideal for one against one or pairs against pairs. Students roll a dice to select a column, then choose an image from that column to say in French. The first to get four in a row - vertically, horizontally or diagonally - wins.
• “J’ai…qui a…?” 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.
• Square Jigsaw Puzzle - Print and laminate the 16-piece puzzle for repeated use or use the additional black and white version on paper for students to cut out themselves before working on it. Students match images to the French words. There’s an extra hidden sentence challenge at the end. Solution included.
• “Où Vas-Tu?” Active Oral Game - Card sets included in French and English to cater for different abilities. Print and laminate if you want to use again. 36 cards in the set. Students have one card each and must move around the room, asking “Où Vas-Tu?”, aiming to meet the person with the matching card. Students must reply in French, using the image on their card.
• “D’abord…Puis…” Mime Game - A team game where students must perform mimes to make their teammates say the correct French words to match the images on the cards, which the mimer must keep hidden. Teams could play against each other or against a timer to see how many cards they can complete in a certain time. There are 30 cards to be printed (and laminated if you wish to use again and again).
