Fall is a great season and a nice opportunity to teach our students more vocabulary.
We know that our students learn best when they have fun and work collaboratively. So, if you are planning to teach Fall vocabulary in French I clearly recommend a fun yet efficient approach that will hook them… Playing cards combines all these features.
The other good thing about this 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:
Learning-reinforcing vocabulary about Fall

7 ideas of games: Every game is explained step-by-step so that you can vary the learning in your class easily
The content page so that you can quickly choose which words you want to use with your class.
1 DIY box for the game: You just need to print it off and follow the lines!

I recommend this resource especially for students in secondary or middle school.
The activities are very simple to use and require NO or very little PREP and they are suitable for a wide age range. You can use this booklet anytime during the year to reinforce/introduce some citizenship or life-long skills topics.
They will encourage sharing, listening skills, cooperation and discussion while providing a fun and relaxed learning atmosphere
Example of activities from the booklet:

- The personal questionnaire to know about their family, favorite subjects, interests…
- The learning styles questionnaire so that you can quickly adapt your teaching to their needs

You will find in this resource:
