You could return to this crossword over several sessions. This is low prep, great for collaboration, printable, differentiated, has an answer key, and there’s even an optional hidden sentence challenge! Best not used with absolute beginners, as it’s designed to review AND expand students’ existing vocabulary, to provide a challenge. Depending on experience and ability of students and level of support given, this can work with Key Stage 3 and 4 and beyond.
Please click on the preview file to check suitability for your students.
Fun: Giant crosswords are enjoyable to complete.
Low prep: Great for sub lessons and busy times.
Flexible: Can fill a whole lesson or more, or be completed over multiple days.
Early finishers: Great as an early finisher activity or extension, maybe to be competed over several sessions.
Collaboration: Although it can be used for individuals, it’s especially good for pairs or small groups.
Differentiation: Alternative clue page and vocab support page.
Challenge: Fun hidden sentence extension!
HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE THIS ACTIVITY:
There are 2 versions of the clue sheets – one with just the word itself in English (to be translated into French) and an easier version with the first letter given.
Choose whether to provide the alphabetical answer list, perhaps just to support certain students, or distribute it only when students have done as much as they can independently
Consider using mixed-ability groups
Decide whether to allow access to online or traditional dictionaries, perhaps later when students have completed as much as they can independently
Consider whether to use the hidden sentence challenge version (students use a blank grid with stars printed on certain squares, and then put the letters together from the star boxes to spell out a hidden word). There are 2 versions of the recording sheet for this challenge, should you wish to use them, and separate answer keys
Early finishers could be directed to online sources to check out the pronunciation of unfamiliar words
Whatever you choose, I hope your students have as much fun completing it as I did compiling it!

My French basics resources were originally designed for Year 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and equivalents but they could suit others, depending on experience.
Many of the packs contain multiple resources and many include additional differentiated versions or multiple gameboards, card sets etc. This time-saving, great value bundle should take the stress out of teaching French to those just starting to learn the language - or revising the basics - and you’ll be able to come back to these resources year after year. There’s plenty to keep things fresh when revisiting topics and for homework tasks too.
For each topic, you can use the substantial presentations to introduce and teach key vocabulary and linked phrases and questions, then select a range of interactive and printable activities, worksheets, printable puzzles and role-play cards etc to make up a series of varied and engaging lessons.

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.
