French Teaching Resources. Noël! Vocabulary PowerPoint, Jingle Bells lyrics and Lotto/ Bingo Game.

PowerPoint:
I use this resource to present Christmas vocabulary.

Vocabulary presented:

la crèche
un sapin de Noël.
le Père Noël
un cadeau de Noël
un ange
une dinde
un chant de Noël
un renne
un bonhomme de neige

The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next slide has pictures of all the new vocabulary. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love!
The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If it’s the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!
The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. Then there are "what's missing?" slides.

Jingle Bells:
I use this for a bit of a sing-song in my French Christmas lesson. The slide has the following lyrics from Vive Le Vent (Jingle Bells):
Vive le vent, vive le vent,
vive le vent d'hiver;
qui s'en va sifflant, soufflant
dans les grands sapins verts.
Oh!
Vive le temps, vive le temps,
vive le temps d'hiver.
Boules de neige et jour de l'an
et bonne année grand-mère.

I talk the students through the lyrics, then drill them singing each line and put it together for a fun 10 minute activity. I usually get the boys to compete with the girls too! The slide can be printed out too.
Enjoy!

Lotto:
This is a simple lotto game practising the numbers 1-20. Students choose 4 numbers and then I go through the PowerPoint, counting the number of different festive items with the students in French. * Note I count the carol singers as 6!

Please note this doesn't cover all the numbers from 1-20, but when I've played it with my classes I've had a winner in all but 1 game!
