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.

KS3 GERMAN FRUITS & VEGETABLES CHALLENGE CARDS 108 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS @ £2.00 EACH IN THE BUNDLE The resource is non-editable in a zipped format. It is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed, in whole or in part, outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use. The questions have a multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling. They’re great for helping students familiarize themselves with, and develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling longer words and more complex sentences in German. Sentence structure and word order may differ from students’ first and/or home language, so it’s important to provide them with opportunities to engage with language that moves beyond single-unit vocabulary as soon as possible. It also gives them chance to apply language in a practical, real-world context, which in turn helps embed both vocab and grammatical concepts into longer-term memory. The cards are useful not only when you’re focusing on the target vocab, but also to work on German language skills in general, such as cases, adjectival endings, grammatical structures such as um… zu + infinitive and so on. The questions are all in German, and range in complexity and challenge. I usually read through questions before my students work with the cards for the first time, to ensure that everyone understands any new or unknown language and structures. There are 35 fruits and 37 vegetables addressed in the challenge cards, and it’s unlikely that they are all in your teaching and learning plan. I always include additional vocabulary to add a little challenge, and to encourage students to think a little more creatively and independently. There are alphabetical German-English and English-German fruits and vegetables lists withmasculine and feminine fruits, definite and indefinite article, and singular and plural. This really helps students familiarize themselves with grammatical concepts without explicit instruction. There are several***translation questions*** , both from German to English and English to German, which is a great introduction to translation for beginner learners. I explain that there are several possible correct alternatives, as translation is not a word-for-word activity, which is definitely useful for them to know from the very beginning of their learning. The question card template enables students to apply theirknowledge of language and grammatical concepts creatively and practically too - my students really enjoy creating questions for each other, and I encourage them to use the existing questions as a frame of reference as they create their own, and to include fruits and vegetables that are not already in the vocabulary lists. Each set comprises: = 36 question cards*, 4 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper = answer key & recording sheet = alphabetical fruits & vegetables lists, German-English & English-German Have a browse in my store for more German resources, including special offer bundles and freebies. VIELEN DANK UND GUTEN APPETIT!

PRIMARY GERMAN CHRISTMAS KS2 GERMAN CHRISTMAS KS3 CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCHES WITH ANSWER KEYS, GRID TEMPLATES AND GERMAN CHRISTMAS VOCABULARY LIST TWO SETS OF TEN WORD SEARCHES @ £2.25 EACH German Christmas Word Searches #1 My younger students really love word searches, as they like to learn independently and work their way through the increasing challenges of the word searches. These***Christmas*** word searches are a real winner - the Christmas-theme seems to be a great motivator! There are 33 German Christmas words, and I’ve chosen a selection of more generic Christmas words, and also some which are very German-specific, such as Sankt Nikolaus and Knecht Ruprecht - we don’t attempt to learn all these - the objective of the word searches is to engage with German, to really focus on the individual words, genders and articles, and to have lots of practice at general recall of vocab. There is an increasing challenge through the grids, and that differentiation does ensure that all students are challenged. There are 5 German to German grids, with a vocab list to fill in too. There are also 5 English to German grids, with a vocab list to complete - that’s a great way to really get students’ recall skills working. Students can identify the level of challenge by the increasing size of the grid, number of words to search for, and the direction the words appear in, which they can see by the direction of the arrows at the top of the grids. Answer keys are essential in my view, and I always give them to students. Not only are they a great teacher-time saver, they really do give students an additional opportunity to engage with language - they also love to ‘mark’ each other’s work! I’ve put a couple of extra challenges in too, to encourage students to look really carefully at the words - for example, they may have to find candles and work out what that is in German - only the prompt die Adventskerze appears in the German Christmas vocabulary reference list. German Christmas Word Searches #2 The searches increase in challenge from Grid 1-10, and offer a really useful learning opportunity - enabling learners to engage with***German Christmas vocabulary***, which is a great springboard for discussion on***Christmas traditions and practices in Germany and other German-speaking countries***, comparing them to other traditions and practices students know, but also working on reading, writing, spelling and German language skills in general. Learners are able to identify which direction words are located in within the grid by referring to the arrow key. There are also five grid templates for learners to create their own searches for each other - this is a really popular activity, and I’ve found that my learners often like to create grids for family at home too. The templates enable learners to apply their language practically and creatively, which is really important at this stage of German language development. There is also an answer key for each word search in this set. There is a single word search per page, portrait format. I like to ensure that text is accessible to all learners - and at this stage of their learning, it’s absolutely essential that language looks accessible and manageable. Some of the more challenging grids do look a little cramped, as a good number of the German words are quite long. There are 50 German Christmas-themed words across the word searches - it’s not necessary for students to learn all the words explicitly - over time, they tend to become familiar with all of them anyway. Looking for unfamiliar words in the grids really works well for implicit learning. There’s a full alphabetical vocab list, which is a great long-term German Christmas vocabulary reference resource, which my students like to add to when they can.
