Quelle est la date? Beginners French KS2 / KS3 (Year 4, 5, 6 and 7) Printable Speaking Games for revision of calendar and date vocabulary: 10 Four in a Row game boards and a Snakes and Ladders Board for practising saying the date in French. These resources will help you plan multiple lessons at Key Stage 2 or Key Stage 3 (upper Primary and early Secondary and equivalents) for students beginning French or near beginners requiring revision of basic vocab and phrases. Originally made for UK schools, I have also added US date format versions of both resources.
You can get these games with other French calendar resources (a substantial PowerPoint lesson presentation, bingo game, loop games, worksheets and puzzles) in this bundle: French Calendar (Le Calendrier) Bundle
FOUR IN A ROW
I originally created this to help pupils answer the French question 'Quelle est la date?' but there is no reference to French on the boards so they can also be used for Italian, Spanish, German and other languages. Pupils will practise calendar vocabulary - months (les mois), days of the week (les jours de la semaine) and numbers to thirty-one.
Includes:
5 boards with the month and date
5 further boards with the month, date and day
A fun language learning activity - ideal for a starter, early finisher task, main lesson consolidation work or as part of a bank of revision activities. Print in either A3 or A4 and laminate for regular use. Individuals or pairs play against each other, taking it in turns to roll a dice before choosing a date in the correct column (columns are labelled 1-6) to say in the target language. If correct, they could put their symbol or initial over it in a wipeable pen or cover it with a counter of a different colour to their opponent. The first player/team to get 4 in a row vertically, horizontally or diagonally is the winner. With 10 boards in total, they can swap with other pairs/groups when finished to have another game.
SNAKES AND LADDERS
Pupils play as per normal Snakes and Ladders, only they have to say the date they land on in French. The US date format version of the game is on page 2 of the file. Instructions are on page 3.

ACTIVE ORAL CARD GAME
This is a game to get students out of their seats, having short conversations about recreational activities. There are 36 game cards (2 of each design). Students are given a card each and must move around the room, trying to find the player with the matching card. To find this, one player asks “Qu’est-ce que tu aimes faire pendant ton temps libre?”. The other replies with the information on their card (e.g. “J’aime cuisiner et jouer du piano.”). The second player can then ask the same question or use “Et toi?” (“And you?”) before the first player replies with the two activities on their card. If their information matches, they could say “Moi aussi!” (“Me too!”). Students who find their match could sit down to make it easier for remaining players to find their match. Versions included with French and English prompts.
SERPENTS ET ECHELLES

Use these 16 different cards for a group game of Bingo in pairs (the teacher or a student could read out French hobby words) or Tic Tac Toe / Noughts and Crosses, with students taking it in turns to say aloud a French hobby word from their card. If cards are laminated, students could write on them with a dry-wipe marker.

PRESENTATION AND FLASHCARDS:
In addition to introducing key vocabulary and phrases, this presentation includes activities such as:
Sentence translation activities

10-rounds of an interactive Hangman Spelling Game, where teams compete to discover and correctly spell French words linked to the topic
20-round multiple-choice translation quiz
Please note that almost all the text in the PowerPoint is editable, however the other content of the slides is not.
Many slides in the original PowerPoint version feature answers that appear when you click, for students to respond. An additional PDF version is included. While the PDF version does not retain the ability for teachers to reveal answers by clicking, it will still help you introduce and review this topic if you do not have PowerPoint where you work. Please note that the Hexagons and Hangman games game are not compatible with PDF and are therefore omitted from that version. The multiple-choice quiz is included in the PDF, however it is not interactive in this version.
Also within the Zip file is a PDF of flash cards for a core range of 21 jobs (masculine and feminine versions) with two on each page.
WORKSHEETS AND PUZZLES:
Vocabulary pages: There’s a word mat (over 2 pages) of French words with images for a core range of 21 jobs, together with a one-page list of these 21 jobs, and an expanded list with an additional 18 jobs. French job names are given for masculine and feminine versions where applicable. There’s also a table of key questions and sentences. These pages can also be used as prompts for classroom speaking activities. Please note that these vocabulary pages are also contained in my Les Métiers Games and Activities pack.
7 worksheets, all differentiated two ways using a star system. The one-star version is the least challenging, for lower ability, younger or less experienced students. Includes jumbled words, translation tasks, fill the blanks tasks and a short reading comprehension.
3 puzzles - There’s a grid puzzle, word hunt puzzle and hidden word puzzle. The first two puzzles are differentiated, with the first letter given for each word in the word hunt puzzle and some letters already entered into the easier grid puzzle.
Full answer keys
GAMES AND ACTIVITIES:
Sentences Board Game: 2 different game boards, where students say aloud in French the translations of the sentences they land on. Board 1 features only the core 21 jobs; board 2 features the expanded range. Print and laminate boards for repeated use. Answer keys included.
“J’ai…Qui a…?” Loop Game: A speaking game for groups or the whole class. Print and laminate for repeated use. The 21 cards (featuring the smaller list of jobs) form a continuous loop so it doesn’t matter which one you start with.
Serpents et Echelles Game: Print and laminate for repeated use. Students say aloud the jobs in French when they land on them. Includes jobs from the expanded list.
“Quel est votre travail?” Active Oral Game: Card sets included with formal “votre” and informal “ton”. Print and laminate the cards you want to use. 36 cards in the set.

Beginners KS2 / KS3 (Year 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8) French speaking games (2 sets of 40-card loop games/ follow me cards / dominoes) for revision of French calendar (le calendrier) vocabulary - dates, months (les mois), days of the week (les jours), as well as numbers to 31.
My FSL / MFL French basics resources and units suit students beginning French, near beginners (and intermediate learners for revision) in:
* Upper Primary (Key Stage 2) - Year 4, 5, 6 (Y4 Y5 Y6)
* Secondary (Key Stage 3) - especially Year 7 and 8 (Y7 / Y8)
* Equivalents such as Grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Core French in Canada
* May suit others, depending on experience
These resources will help you plan multiple lessons. Additional US format date versions are also now included.
One set features the date and month, the other (which has different dates) also includes the day. This game works especially well as a fun activity to teach the difference between the two ways of answering the question Quelle est la date? (What is the date?), which depends on whether you are including the day:
C'est samedi cinq avril
C'est le cinq avril
Another teaching point reinforced with this activity is the fact that days and months do not start with capital letters in French.
Print and laminate the sets for repeated use. There is no start or end card in either set; they are continuous loops so you can start wherever you want.
