I'm currently a teacher in a special needs school working with pupils who have ASD. I've worked in a number of age ranges, from 3-16. All of my resources are ones that I have used in class and have worked well! Although my resources are aimed towards pupil with ASD, they are easily and quickly adapted to use in mainstream schools too.

French - Colours Sorting Activity

French - Colours Sorting Activity

(0)
French - Colours Sorting Activity These activities are based on French, focusing on colours. They are sorting activities, where the pupils have to match the correct French word to the colour. The activity is differentiated three ways. On a basic level it is a simple matching activity. The other two activities require pupils to match the words to the colours and re-write the word underneath. It can be used as a single use worksheet, or can be laminated with velcro added to be used again - the latter is what I have done with this resource myself. By adding velcro to the activity, it adds a tactile element which seems to work well and engage the pupils. I’m currently a teacher in a special needs school for children with ASD. The class I currently have range from P4 - 2C. We use these differentiated activivities weekly as part of our MFL lessons, the repetition of these activities weekly is working well and the pupils are making great progress.
