Originally a simple booklet made for Year 7 trip to Paris. Could also be used for Paris projects where, perhaps, Parisian landmarks are researched or creative writing is done. Booklet is A4 but designed to be reduced to A5 by your clever repro' bod.
French Easter work booklet suitable for Y7. Covers lots of Easter vocabulary in French and lists it at the end so they can work independently - ideal for cover lessons or less teacher input when you need some time. All the usual Easter vocabulary Pâques/cloches/chocolat etc.
Sorry for the quick description but would like to make it available ASAP. Look at the details for the Spanish ones for more info’ as it’s the same as those! Here it is: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/semana-santa-easter-in-spanish-y7-12508285
I’ll update the description and previews as soon as I am able.
I’ll also be raising the price once I’ve sorted the description and previews, so buy now!
An Easter card game plus further activities. Using personal/basic information plus Easter words thrown in, you may get away with using this in your lessons to bring in Easter vocabulary! A card game gets you started and further activities for reading/writing/speaking are explained on the last sheet.

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.
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*

Various activites for WW1 in French lessons.
pg1 find the matching vocab' from Eng version of poem (might need to print larger version, plain)
pg2 reorder the French version of the poem; verses are in correct order but within verse the line order is wrong
pg3 poem written out in full. Some words in bold to look up with some groups!
pg4 propaganda from France: translate/discuss? Then do own.Some unfortunately from WW2 but too late now.
pg5 explanation of origin of poem for teacher reference
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.
9 pages of vocabulary tests to go with the lists I've made. The first few have some of the test in English and some in Spanish so pupils write the opposite language. Later on, pupils must just write in the Spanish. The final page is a blank grid in case you don't like any of those options!! Buena suerte.
