PRIMARY GERMAN KS3 GERMAN ANIMALS DEUTSCHE TIERE FLASHCARDS POSTERS These German animals display posters / flashcards create a fabulous German look and feel in the learning environment. I’ve found that this also helps promote German as a living language, featuring in the everyday life of beginner learners of German. They introduce learners to a range of animals in German from the very beginning of their learning, and they are able to familiarize themselves with how German words ‘look’, and how sounds are represented in the written form. My younger German students really love the animals posters, and like to compare the German and English words. 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. Students definitely notice the different words for the, and ask why some animals are der, and others are die or das. I’ve used this as a useful prompt to introduce the concept of gender.
Use them as flashcards to introduce and practise language too - it’s a traditional and successful low-tech teaching method, which gives students a welcome break from the whiteboard - varying teaching methodologies in the language learning classroom is always a good idea, and I also encourage my students to take the role of the teacher too, which they find really motivating.
There are 20 animals using the masculine, feminine and neuter definite article, which again is a great opportunity to begin to compare German and English, looking particularly closely at capitalization of nouns. I’ve chosen a couple of insects and birds, as well as animals that feature in very popular stories, such as Bär and Wolf.
The animals are:
bear; bee; bird; butterfly; cat; dog; fish; fox; frog;horse; kangaroo; monkey; mouse; owl; parrot; rabbit; spider; squirrel; turtle/tortoise;
wolf
There are two sets of 20 9.5x11 (A4) portrait posters, two backgrounds to choose from: animal footprint or German flag. I always laminate my posters / flashcards as they hang a lot better, are easier to manipulate as flashcards, and definitely remain in excellent condition for years.

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. The files are non-editable in a zipped format. They’re copyright, all rights reserved.

An instant introduction to 25 fruits in French. I like to share essential beginner French vocabulary that I can use in everyday talk with my young learners from the beginning of their French learning program. The key focus is on the definite article, both masculine and feminine, singular and plural, though I do use the set to start to compare these with the indefinite article, which I’ve found to be a really successful way of helping students embed grammatical concepts such as gender, implicitly, without the need for repeated explicit instruction.
We use the set not only when we’re introducing and practising French fruits, but also for developing French language skills and awareness in general. Students are able to familiarize themselves with how French words ‘look’, and how sounds are represented in the written form. I don’t actually introduce 25 fruits at once, but in my classroom decor, I generally have additional language to maximize students’ exposure to related vocabulary.
The fruits are:
green apples : red apple : bananas : cherries : dates : fig : green grapes : red grapes : kiwi : lemon : mango : nectarine : olives : oranges : papaya : peach : pear : pineapple : pumpkin : raspberry : redcurrants : rhubarb : starfruit : strawberries :
watermelon
The flashcards / posters are 8.5 x 11 (A4) portrait size. There are two backgrounds to choose from - French flag or plain without frame to keep prep costs to a minimum. I always print on card stock and / or laminate my flashcards / posters, as they display much more effectively, and remain in excellent condition for years.

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.
