ESL EFL ENGLISH FOR CHILDREN BEGINNER ENGLISH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES I HAVE, WHO HAS? 3 GAMES @ £2.50 EACH IN THE BUNDLE All products consist of non-editable files in zipped formats. They are copyright, all rights reserved. They may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully. Set 1 focuses on fruits in English; Set 2 on vegetables in English, and Set 3 on a combination of fruits and vegetables in English, ideal for advanced beginner English and intermediate English students. I have… Who has… ? is a lively & communicative whole-group language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing target vocabulary in English. The game has a multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. It’s perfect for pronunciation practice too. Point out particular phonemes and sounds, such as the soft c in lettuce compared to the hard c in carrot, and the addition of n to a when preceding a noun starting with a vowel, such as an aubergine or an orange for example. The aim of the game is to create an English sentence chain as quickly as possible. The game works well if the sentence sequence is placed on the floor, a longish table, or other flat surface. There are 29 fruits featured across the 3 games: green apple; red apple; banana; cherry; date; fig; gooseberries; grapefruit; green grapes; red grapes; honeydew melon; kiwi; lemon; lime; mango; nectarine; olive; orange; papaya; peach; pear; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberry; watermelon. and 28 vegetables: artichoke; asparagus; aubergine; green beans; beetroot; broccoli; Brussels sprout; cabbage; carrot; cauliflower; celery; cucumber; garlic; leek; lettuce; mushroom; onion; peas; green pepper; red pepper; yellow pepper; potato; sweet potato; radish; spinach; sweetcorn; tomato; zucchini All the fruits and vegetables may not be in my longer-term learning plan, but the learning objective moves beyond simply learning individual units of vocab - the images help students infer meaning from context, supported by the visual prompts and clues - this in turn supports them in developing their English language skills in the longer and more complex sentences. There is***implicit input on grammatical concepts*** such as the***lack of adjectival agreement and gender***, and position of adjectives, which are often entirely new concepts for many ESL/EFL learners. Nouns feature definite, indefinite and partitive articles too. This is a very successful way of really getting the most of what looks like a straightforward game for consolidating the target vocabulary - it is actually so much more. The question card template provides an additional learning activity, with students applying their developing English language knowledge creatively and practically, as they make game cards for the class - this is a really popular activity with my students. Laminate the cards if you can - they’re more learner-friendly, and they remain in excellent condition for years.

PRIMARY FRENCH KS2 FRENCH KS3 FRENCH FRUITS & VEGETABLES FRENCH I HAVE, WHO HAS? 3 GAMES @ £2.50 EACH Files are non-editable in a zipped format. They are copyright, all rights reserved. They may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully. The games feature a range of fruits and vegetables in French: Set 1: focus on French fruits Set 2: focus on French vegetables Set 3: focus on a combination of both French fruits and French vegetables I have, Who has? J’ai… Qui a… ? is a whole-group lively & communicative language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing French target language. The game has a multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. The game is perfect for pronunciation practice too - particularly with silent s, the non-/audible sound of x (deux and dix for example) and so on. I point out particular phonemes and sounds too - such as the ch in champignons, the soft c in citron compared to the hard c in carotte , the eu in chou-fleur and the ei in groseilles. The aim of the game is to create a French sentence chain as quickly as possible, starting with J’ai la première carte, and ending with the final card, C’est la dernière carte. The game also works well if the sentence sequence is placed on the floor, a longish table, or other flat surface. I created the game for my young beginner French learners, but I’ve also played the game with my older adult French learners, who really enjoy it too. The design is four cards per page, which allows for a large font, which is really important for beginner language learners who are familiar with the written word, and starting to link spelling with sound. Try to print in color if you can - it adds to the visual appeal of the game, which is a real motivator for learning. I always laminate my games cards, which is definitely worth the extra prep time and additional expense - the cards are far more learner-friendly, and last in excellent condition for years, so I get lots of use from them. There are 29 fruits featured in the games: green apple; red apple; banana; cherry; date; fig; gooseberries; grapefruit; green grapes; red grapes; honeydew melon; kiwi; lemon; lime; mango; nectarine; olive; orange; papaya; peach; pear; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberry; watermelon. with 28 vegetables: artichoke; asparagus; aubergine; green beans; beetroot; broccoli; Brussels sprout; cabbage; carrot; cauliflower; celery; cucumber; garlic; leek; lettuce; mushroom; onion; peas; green pepper; red pepper; yellow pepper; potato; sweet potato; radish; spinach; sweetcorn; tomato; zucchini. All the fruits and vegetables may not be in my longer-term learning plan, but the learning objective moves beyond simply learning individual units of vocabulary. The images help students infer meaning from context, supported by the visual prompts and clues. This in turn supports them in developing their French language skills in the longer and more complex sentences. There is implicit input on grammatical concepts such as adjectival agreement, gender, definite, indefinite and partitive articles and position of adjectives, either preceding or proceeding the particular noun. This is a very successful way of really getting the most of what looks like a straightforward game for consolidating the target vocabulary - it is actually so much more! The question card template provides an additional learning activity, with students applying their developing French language knowledge creatively and practically, as they make game cards for the class. This is*** integral to successful language learning***, and it’s actually a really popular activity with my students. They read their new sentences to the whole class, and it’s generally a competition to see who can create the longest sentences with the most fruits. Download, print out, laminate, cut out & shuffle the cards. Distribute the cards, one or two per student, depending on how many students you have in your group. I often play too - students really do enjoy it when I join in, and they seem to work that little harder on their concentration, reading out loud and pronunciation. Students walk around the room, talking to each other in their best French accent, sharing the information on their cards, until they have arranged the cards in the correct order. The game is also really successful when we play in teams against a timer, regularly over a longer-term series of lessons - students love to see if they can beat their own time record, as well as the other teams. The competitive element is a great motivator for learning too. Have a browse in my store for more French J’ai… Qui a… ? games, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning materials, with French resource boxes special offer bundles and lots of freebies - I’ve included a couple here for you to try.

PRIMARY FRENCH TELLING THE TIME KS2 FRENCH TELLING THE TIME KS3 FRENCH TELLING THE TIME I HAVE, WHO HAS? every analogue clock time with matching clock faces - six games, six challenges, 3 sets @ £2.50 each in the bundle Files are non-editable files in a zipped format. Please read the Terms of Use carefully. The product is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. I have, Who has? is a great language learning game. The repetitive nature of the questions and answers, supported by the visual prompt of the clock faces, makes it perfect for practicing, reinforcing & refreshing how to tell time in French. It’s a whole-group communicative game, with a multi-skill focus on speaking, listening, reading, vocabulary-building and developing accurate pronunciation. The game really does help to create a lively language learning environment, and is a great alternative to more traditional ‘drilling’ activities. This bundle features 3 separate games sets, each with a particular range of clock times - across the three sets, every single analog clock time is used. There are four cards per 8.5 x 11 page - I always make sure that font and text size is fairly large for beginner French and Primary French learners, as it’s essential that the text - and therefore language - is fully accessible. In the Primary French classroom, we do often have learners who are just beginning to learn how to tell time in their first language, so it’s really important to make learning French manageable in my view. There’s definitely some prep involved - printing, laminating and cutting out - but it’s definitely worth the extra time, as the cards are a lot more learner-friendly when they are sturdier, and they last for years too. Groups of students can play different games against a timer in a competition - who can complete their timeline first? It’s great fun, and really popular. There are two games in each set, with a different challenge: Challenge 1: with all the the clock times in numerical order, which is how they probably first learn the times Challenge 2: with the all the clock times in random order, which really helps recall and embedding new language Have a browse in my store for more French resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.

PRIMARY FRENCH DISPLAY POSTERS FLASHCARDS instant back to school and year-round learning displays!V I really make the most of my classroom learning displays, using them for speaking prompts, to embed vocab, to practise pronunciation, reading and spelling. This is a great starter display bundle for Primary and Year 7 French. A successful classroom language learning display enables students to make links in language, to identify patterns, to engage with a range of linguistic concepts, such as adjectival agreement and gender, and to begin to understand how sounds are represented in the written form, which is a really useful platform for working with phonics. It doesn’t matter if some of the vocab doesn’t feature in your immediate or even longer-term learning plan: the posters provide learners with daily opportunities to engage with the written word in French, to develop their recognition and recall of individual words, and also help learners begin to work out the meaning of new and unknown words from visual clues or prompts. Along the way, learners can suggest new related vocab or language they learn to add to the displays, which makes them really interactive, and a reflection of their learning path. The posters work just as well as flashcards, which are great for introducing and practicing language in general (students don’t have to learn all the nouns or phrases!), and for playing games to engage students with French. All the posters/flashcards are great for young learners to learn with together in groups too! Animal Kingdom (40 posters, 20 French flag background, 20 animal footprint) My younger French students really love the animals posters, and like to compare the French and English words, or words in other languages they know and speak. I’ve found that they also help very young children develop their growing understanding of the animal kingdom. We don’t necessarily learn all the animals, but we do use them for pronunciation and speaking practice, and for memory games too. They really give the classroom a great French ambiance. Students definitely notice the different words for a/an, and ask why some animals are un, and others are une. I’ve used this as a useful prompt to introduce the concept of gender. There are 20 animals using the masculine and feminine indefinite article, which again is a great opportunity to begin to compare French to English. I���ve chosen a couple of insects and birds, as well as animals that feature in very popular stories, such as ours and loup. Looking at language, and the ways it works, either similarly to, or differently from their first language, helps learners become implicitly aware of linguistic concepts in both languages, which I’ve found to be really useful for both current and later learning. Breakfast (40 posters, 20 French flag background, 20 blackwave) There are 20 breakfast items within a sentence, Je prends… Je mange…, Je bois…, using either indefinite or partitive article, singular or plural - I designed these specifically to combine high-frequency vocab building, and to promote more speaking in the classroom, both teacher-student and paired speaking ie student-student Christmas (60 posters, 30 blue winter background, 30 blackline snow) I love to give my learning environment a really French Christmas feel - even my older students appreciate it. With my younger learners, it’s not about learning all the French Christmas vocabulary (30 is too many for young beginners!), it’s about giving them daily opportunities to engage with the French language through guessing games, pronunciation practices and so on. I’ve included a selection of both generic Christmas words, such as bauble and Christmas tree, as well as more Francophone-specific words, such as Père Fouettard and la galette des Rois. Clothes (40 posters, 20 French flag background, 20 black wave) There are 20 nouns relating to clothes and what we wear, focusing on singular and plural nouns with the indefinite / partitive article, some with color/adjectival agreement. There are four poster headers: les vêtements, Qu’est-ce que tu portes ?, Qu’est-ce que tu as ? and Qu-est-ce que c’est ? The labels/answers correspond to the question format. This really does help to promote speaking in the classroom, and I often use the posters for quick speaking refreshers at various points in an individual lesson, or across a series of lessons, really getting the most out of the display. Colours (36 posters, 18 French flag background, 18 black wave) The key colours are: black; blue; brown (both brun and marron); cream (both crème and vanilla); green; grey; navy blue; orange; bright pink; pink; purple; red; turquoise; white; yellow. There’s also a poster / flashcards showing the French Flag. I’ve included a couple of French colours freebies in the bundle - one focusing on favorite colour, so that we can do some speaking based on the initial question Quelle est ta couleur préférée? and one focusing on adjectival agreement with the colour green, using questions such as Vrai ou faux ? Le monstre verte? Fruits (50 posters, 25 French flag background, 25 black wave) There are 25 fruits, definite article, feminine and masculine - that’s so useful as a way into the concept of gender. We don’t actually learn 25 fruits at this stage, but I use a range that includes some that children may not know yet, such as starfruit and redcurrants. That’s ideal for discussing healthy eating, and for generally developing children’s vocabulary in their own language too. Numbers 1-20 (40 posters, 20 French flag background, 20 black wave) Number displays are great for linking vocab with some mental math - there’s definitely a French theme to a lot of the posters, such as the Eiffel Tower and pain au chocolat! Numbers 0-31 (64 posters, 32 French flag background, 32 black wave) There is a lot of potential for speaking and pronunciation practice, as well as a focus on spelling French numbers correctly - I tend to do more complex mental math calculation with these numbers, as well as more general production and manipulation of language, as there are many contexts this range of numbers address, such as birthday, which is always a popular one! Vegetables (50 posters, 25 French flag background, 25 black wave) There are 25 vegetables, definite article, feminine and masculine - as with the fruits posters, these are really useful to start to engage with the concept of gender. We don’t actually learn 25 vegetables at this stage, but I use a range that includes some that children may not know yet, such as asparagus and artichoke to stimulate discussion in general, and encourage students to discover and suggest (and try!) new vegetables for the display. Telling the Time in French: o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past the hour, analogue There are two backgrounds to choose from - French flag or black wave, so that you can choose which would suit your learning environment. The posters show analogue clock times o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past the hour. I use them as classroom display, and also as flashcards during the introduction phase of telling time. I tend to focus initially on o’clock and half past, as I’ve found that when students are confident with the concept of telling the time in French, they’re able to assimilate all the clock times more successfully at a slightly later date. They’re great for flashcard introduction and practice of new language, particularly with small groups. I often display a set of a particular clock time (or indeed vocab theme) at different times of the school year, as this gives us chance to revisit and practise vocab and concepts. I’ve included a range of my elementary French freebies for you to try, in case you haven’t seen them in my store. The products are all non-editable in zipped formats.

PRIMARY FRENCH FRUITS CLASSROOM DISPLAY POSTERS FLASHCARDS My younger students love to see French displays in the classroom, and they also work really well for older beginner French learners too. There are 25 fruits and 25 vegetables, definite article, feminine and masculine, singular and plural - that’s so useful as a way into the concept of gender. I tend to vary my displays quite regularly, and have different posters up at various times of the school year. We use them as speaking and pronunciation prompts, and for guessing games too. We don’t actually learn 25 fruits or vegetables at this stage, but I use a range that includes some that children may not know yet, such as starfruit and aubergines. That’s ideal for discussing healthy eating, and for generally developing children’s vocabulary in their own language too. The posters work really well as flashcards too, and they’re great for introducing and practising language with a ‘low-tech’ method, giving us all a break from the whiteboard, which children definitely enjoy! The fruits are: green apples; red apple; bananas; cherries; dates; fig; green grapes; red grapes; kiwi; lemon; mango; nectarine; olives; oranges; papaya; peach; pears; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberries; watermelon The vegetables are: artichoke; asparagus; beetroot; broccoli; cabbage; carrots; cauliflower; celery; corn; cucumber; eggplants/aubergines; French/green beans; garlic; leeks; lettuce; mushrooms; onions; peas; red peppers; yellow pepper; potatoes; sprouts; spinach; sweet potatoes; tomato The posters are 8.5 x 11 (A4) portrait size. There are two backgrounds to choose from - French flag or black wave, so 100 posters in total. The fruits and vegetables are in my store separately, at £3.00 each.
