The “Life Cycle of a Frog – French” unit comes with the following: • unit summary with suggested uses • dyslexia-friendly PowerPoint (with audio) introducing the four stages of a frog, the word for “becomes” and simple sentences outlining the life cycle of a frog • clear vocabulary list • two sets of high-quality labelled photo flashcards (one with the four stages, the other set with simple sentences) • cutting, sticking and colouring worksheet of the four stages of a frog • make your own lily pad craft activity • life cycle of a frog matching cards • life cycle of a frog booklet Suggested use: 1. Use the PowerPoint to introduce the life cycle and check for comprehension (slide 3). Use slides 4-7 to introduce the four stages of the life cycle in French. Using slide 8, see if pupils can guess the meaning of “devient”. If the class is coping well, use slides 9-13 to introduce the four stages in sentences. *Make sure you have the “notes” section visible for additional vocabulary support if you need it. 2. Slide 14 onwards can be used as an identification game. Show the class the photos and see if they can identify in French which part of the life cycle is shown. 3. Photo flashcards can be used as part of a wall display or as a stimulus for an art-based project for pupils to create their own images. 4. Use the cutting, sticking and colouring worksheet to check for comprehension of the order of the life cycle. 5. Matching cards are a more supported comprehension activity as each part of the life cycle has a unique edge to help with matching. 6. Both the lily pad craft activity and the frog booklet can be used to create beautiful items to be used as part of a display to exhibit what the class has been doing.

Pupils choose 8 rays to describe an important man in their life, decorate them and glue them to the sun template. The centre says “My dad is” but also has options for step-dad, carer and a blank option. This is a great activity for working on dictionary skills, adjectives and personal descriptions. Pupils could even trace the rays and come up with their own descriptions for their father figure. These could be made into a lovely personalised card. Also available: Personalised Mother’s Day Flower Card. For amazing French and Spanish resources visit lovelanguage.

This activity is taking more of a creative approach allowing pupils to design their own flag. It comes in three forms: blank flag, English writing and French writing so pupils can work on whichever skill they need. For example, a pupil who loves football could draw himself playing football or a football pattern and underneath write, “Ce drapeau me représente car j’adore le foot. Je le joue avec mes copains…” etc. If you wanted to go all out you could find some old pillowcases, get the fabric paints out and turn these designs into real flags to hang around the school. Wouldn’t that be fun?! You might also be interested in: European Day of Languages Board Game European Day of Languages QR Code Quiz For amazing French and Spanish resources visit lovelanguage.
