This KS2 or Early KS3 beginners French vocabulary revision / review activity is a giant crossword puzzle, ideal for fun group work. Includes Numbers (Les Nombres / Les Numeros), Calendar (Days, Months, Dates - Les Jours, Les Mois, La Date), Greetings and Introductions, Colours (Les Couleurs), Weather (La Meteo / Le Temps), Classroom Objects (Les Objets de la Classe) and more. With around 100 clues, it is ideal for groups, with children perhaps competing against other groups to solve the puzzle as fast as possible. It works well as a fun revision activity at the start of term / back to school time to refresh students' French basics vocabulary or at the end of a term / end of the year.








Alternatively, use it as an early finisher activity for completion over several lessons / weeks. In addition to the crossword solution, there's an alphabetical list of answers which you can give out for support where necessary. Or any clues not managed could be looked up online or in a French dictionary. It's fine in A4 but if you are using it with a larger group you might want to print in A3. The crossword grid and solution are included in one PDF, with the clues and support sheet in the second one.

Instructions for all activities are included. With the board game, students take turns to roll a dice and move the appropriate number of spaces. They have to say aloud in French the word, phrase or question they land on, otherwise they return to the space they came from. 3 versions are included (with minor changes around nationality and country to suit different locations). The vocabulary card can be provided for support where required. There are also six 10-card loop games, which are coloured differently. If printing in black and white use different coloured card to help keep them separate. Designed for oral practice in small groups, with a student reading out the English word or phrase on their card and others checking if they have the French translation, then reading this out - and so on until the loop is completed. In each loop you can start at any point. With the jigsaw puzzle, print, laminate and cut out the 16 triangular pieces. Students match key French vocabulary with English translations to build a larger triangle. For previews and further information, please see the individual resources.
