FRENCH FRUITS & VEGETABLES CHALLENGE CARDS

Challenge cards really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of fruits and vegetables in French in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. They have a bonus 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 French. 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 questions are all in French, and range in complexity and challenge. There are 31 fruits and 33 vegetables addressed in the 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 is an alphabetical French-English and English-French fruits and vegetables list to help students develop language awareness skills, as well as their French vocabulary. There are masculine and feminine fruits and vegetables, definite, indefinite and partitive article, and singular and plural - this really helps students familiarize themselves with grammatical concepts without explicit instruction.
There are some translation questions too - both from French to English and English to French, 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.
The question card template enables students to apply their knowledge of language and grammatical concepts creatively and practically - 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.
2 Sets of 36 question cards, colour & blackline, 4 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper.

FRENCH NUMBERS 0-100 CHALLENGE CARDS FREEBIE
KS3 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH NUMBERS 0-100 This is a free set of 12 French Numbers 0-100 Challenge Cards with answer key and recording sheet. You will be able to use them together with the full set, as these are marked with letters, rather than numbered. The full set description is as follows:
French Numbers 0-100 Challenge Cards really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of French numbers in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. They have a bonus 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 in French. The translation questions are a great way of introducing beginner French learners to the concept of translation too.
All questions are in French, and range in complexity and challenge, both in terms of language and number skills. I’ve used visual prompts and clues such as maths symbols to ensure all learners can engage with the questions, and this helps them to begin to***infer meaning from context***, and to decode cues and prompts to foster understanding. I don’t always allow the use of calculators to increase the challenge a little. Some questions focus specifically on French maths language, which students do not always engage with very often. The question card template enables students to apply their knowledge of language and arithmetic creatively and practically too. Revisit frequently for successful consolidation and learning.
This freebie set comprises the following 3 files:
12 differentiated question cards, 6 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. Laminate if possible - they’re far more learner-friendly and last for absolutely years!
2-page answer recording sheet, best printed double-sided. I don’t always use a recording sheet - my students all have class workbooks, and they use those to work out their answers, and to note them down
2-page answer key, again best printed double-sided, and laminated for longevity. Answer keys are essential in my view - they create a more independent learning ethos in the classroom, and offer students and additional opportunity to engage with language.

This is a free set of 15 French speaking prompts, with suggested responses. My students have always found these a really useful learning activity. With the structured speaking prompts, they are able to develop confidence in their speaking, working independently in pairs or small groups. At the same time, they are building their vocabulary and enhancing their understanding and knowledge of French grammar too.
There are 15 questions with 15 suggested responses. As students become more confident and competent, they begin to rely less on the prompt cards, and answer questions in their own way - and even ask them differently too, if their talk partner is using the answer card as the main prompt.
The questions in this freebie are aimed at advanced beginner to intermediate French students, though my more advanced students enjoy ‘going back to the start’ too, particularly near exam time. There’s a reference sheet, with all the questions and answers written out in full - I always provide a reference resource, and my students like to keep them in their learning folders for longer-term reference. When they create their own questions and answers for each other on the question and answer card template, they also find them really useful as a form of writing frame.

Ideal reference resource for students focusing on high-frequency German conjunctions and connectives. I’ve found that the lists are a great learning support resource, and they’re really popular with students too. They work well when students keep them carefully in learning files or folders for current and future reference. They also work well printed double-sided and laminated for small-group work in class.
This list is a collection of 35 high-frequency common German conjunctions and connectives that students will meet in the advanced beginner to intermediate stages of German learning programs, and useful for students beginning advanced German as a vocabulary audit. It’s an important step in language learning is to ensure that students quickly develop a useful vocabulary bank, are able to recognise German conjunctions and connectives, and are confident with the meaning of those words in their first / home language, so that they can produce more detailed and descriptive language and more complex sentences and texts as soon as possible. Students shouldn’t take on the task of learning 35 conjunctions and connectives all at once though - this is more of a longer-term reference resource that students can use to audit their developing German vocabulary, and it is definitely the case that frequent and regular use in real-world practical contexts is far more successful at embedding vocabulary into longer-term memory.
There are two alphabetical lists - one German-English, and one English-German, as I’ve found that most language students prefer to have both as a reference resource. There are two backgrounds to choose from - German flag, which I generally use for German grammar display, and plain.

I create a lot of essential high-frequency Italian vocab lists for my Italian language students, as they find them really useful, both in the classroom and at home. The lists work well when students keep them carefully in learning files or folders for current and future reference. They also work well printed double-sided and laminated for small-group work in class. There are two backgrounds to choose from - Italian flag, which I tend to use for Italian vocabulary display, or black wave. I use a background for vocabulary lists quite a lot, because it does make them more visually appealing, which is really important for language learners who do have a lot of vocabulary to learn.

PRIMARY FRENCH COLOURS WORD WALL
PRIMARY FRENCH COLOURS WORD WALL Create an instant introduction to colours in French with this set of word wall cards, featuring 17 colours. We may not actually have all the colours in our learning plan, but along with the bonus monster Ma couleur préférée cards, we use them for developing language skills and awareness in general.
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 card showing the French Flag Le Tricolore.
There are two cards per 8.5 x 11 (A4) page in landscape format, so 36 word wall cards in total - the words are definitely big enough for children to be able to read from various locations in the classroom to ensure we get the most of our learning display. With the headers, LES COULEURS, QUELLE EST TA COULEUR PRÉFÉFÉE ? and MA COULEUR PRÉFÉRÉE, C’EST LE…, there are many opportunities for promoting target language talk even at the very beginning stages of learning.

200 French Speaking & Writing Prompts, suitable for Higher GCSE & beginner ALevel French students
Speaking and writing are language skills that learners tend to find very challenging, and increased engagement with language that requires them to both reproduce language they are already familiar with, and to be creative with that language in order to produce new language is really beneficial.
The questions are differentiated, addressing a broad range of ability, which aim to progress all learners. Tenses include present, future, near future, perfect and conditional. Question formats are likewise varied, to ensure maximum opportunity to work with the different ways to ask questions in French.
Some questions seek to elicit very similar information, but are asked in different language: this avoids learners simply parroting learned responses to fixed prompts. The prompts are really versatile too, specifically with a focus on speaking and writing.
Speaking: As a whole-group activity, distribute the cards among your students, one or several. Ideally, they should walk around the classroom, asking questions, and swapping cards. For pair or small-group work, students can work in a designated area. This really helps them focus closely on the language, and helps learners who are slightly less confident working with a larger group. The cards work particularly well as ice-breakers at the beginning of the school year, refreshers after vacation, prep for both new phase learning, for example intermediate to advanced intermediate, and even advanced intermediate to advanced, as well as exams. They’re great as both entrance and exit tickets, and also for five-minute refreshers, which I use quite frequently during the school year. Frequent and regular engagement with language is absolutely key to successful language learning.
Writing: The cards work best in pair or small-group work, where learners have access to reference resources, such as bilingual dictionaries and the internet. The latter will enable them to prepare detailed responses to questions which address general knowledge, rather than their own life. They can then transfer this knowledge to their spoken work. There’s also a 2-pate prompts master list.
The prompts broadly address the following themes:
college life & study; future plans; information technology; where I live; social & environmental issues; France & travel; social activity & daily life

An instant introduction to the scope of the Francophone world, promoting French as a living language, spoken widely across the world, and featuring in the everyday life of the learning environment. The banners feature ***41 countries / territories where French is an official languag***e as well as regions and territories where a significant number of the population speak French as either their first or second language, such as Vietnam. Each banner shows the country and capital city in French, and its national flag.
There may be a number of countries and capital cities that students do not know, or are not aware of, so the banners definitely help them fully develop their general awareness, knowledge and understanding of the French-speaking world. I’ve used the definite article, as I’ve found that this helps embed the concept of gender in French, and that proper nouns, such as countries, are subject to gender agreement rules too. I use the banners to get students talking in French class too during Talk Time for example - quick questions such as Vrai ou faux ? Québec est la capitale du Canada ? or Libreville est la capitale de quel pays ? are really useful to encouraging students to speak in French.
Each individual banner has a small tag which I use to hang with a clip from a ‘washing line’ across the classroom and other learning areas. I always laminate my classroom decor banners, as they display more successfully, and remain in excellent condition for years, so it’s definitely worth the extra prep time and expense.

Ideal for cross-curricular learning French and geography suitable for any age range, at any time of the school year, and particularly at the beginning of a French programme. Students can develop their knowledge of the geography and scope of La Francophonie in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. There may be a number of countries and capital cities that students do not know, or are not aware of, so the games help them fully develop their general awareness, knowledge and understanding of Les pays francophones.
The set contains countries / territories where French is an official language. There are 7 differentiated sets of 2 worksheets, 14 worksheets in total. There is an alphabetical reference list featuring countries, capital cities, continent and national flag. All the worksheets are in random, rather than alphabetical order for maximum challenge. Together, the differentiated challenges ensure students will really embed and consolidate their knowledge of La Francophonie.
The set features the following worksheets:
Worksheets 1 & 2: flags are in colour, students label continent, country and capital city
Worksheets 3 & 4: flags are BW, students colour the flags appropriately, label continent, country and capital city
Worksheets 5 & 6: flags are in colour, students label continent and capital city from a country/flag prompt
Worksheets 7 & 8: the same as 5&6, with additional challenge of colouring the BW flags appropriately
Worksheets 9 & 10: flags are in colour, students label country from a flag / continent / capital prompt
Worksheets 11 & 12: the same as 9&10, with additional challenge of colouring the BW flags appropriately from a flag/continent/capital prompt
Worksheets 13 & 14: blank flags, which student recreate according to country, also labelling continent and capital city
There is a country, capital city, flag and continent reference list of all countries and capitals, which students find useful to read through before working on the sheets - I laminate these, and one list per small group of 5-6 students is sufficient. It can also be used as a year-round reference resource, which students can file in their workbooks or learning folders.

The key colours are: aquamarine (blue-green); black; blue; brown (both marrón and pardo - I’ve also included castaño, as this is used to describe hair color and eyes for example, which are great topics to get learners talking in Spanish); cream (both beis and crema); green; grey; navy-blue; orange; bright pink; pink; purple; red; white; yellow.
Use them as flashcards to introduce and practice 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.
It doesn’t matter if this particular language doesn’t feature in your immediate or even longer-term learning plan: the flashcards / posters provide learners with daily opportunities to engage with the written word in Spanish, to develop their recognition and recall of individual words, to identify cognates and near-cognates, and to begin to link spelling with sound in Spanish.
There are two backgrounds to choose from - Spanish flag or black wave, so 38 posters in total. Laminate the posters if possible, or print on card stock, particularly if you’re going to use them as flashcards to introduce and practise language: they’ll hang really nicely, stay in good shape, and you’ll be able to use them for years.

SPANISH COLOURS FLASHCARDS FREEBIE #2
PRIMARY SPANISH KS2 SPANISH KS3 SPANISH SPANISH COLOURS FLASHCARDS POSTERS Los colores en español 8 posters / flashcards These 4***adjectival agreement*** posters, with a focus on the colour verde, make an ideal grammar and speaking prompt in the Spanish classroom - for example, I encourage students to look carefully at the differences between el monstruo verde and los monstruos verdes. Giving learners the opportunity to look very closely at language, to identify similarities and differences with their first language, as well as rules and patterns in the target language, is a really key language teaching and learning strategy. I use high-frequency beginner Spanish vocabulary to do this. As students build their vocabulary, with increasing understanding of gender and gender agreement, they are able to apply those rules and patterns to new language. I use questions such as Verdadero o falso? El monstruo verdes? , really emphasizing pronunciation, so that they can hear the difference in agreement. I often write the questions on the whiteboard too, as it’s equally important that they are able to***recognise the differences in the written words*** too, and to link sound with spelling .
Use them as flashcards to introduce and practice 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.

SPANISH COLOURS FLASHCARDS FREEBIE #1
PRIMARY SPANISH KS3 SPANISH KS2 SPANISH COLOURS FLASHCARDS POSTERS Los colores en español - 8 posters / flashcards These four my favourite colour posters make an ideal speaking prompt in the Spanish classroom - I encourage children to ask each other ¿Cuál es tu color favorito? as a lesson starter / warm-up, and to select a different colour every time they answer. As they learn more colours, their answers become more varied. I tend to introduce the plural form with the connective y (and) quite quickly, so that students can extend their answers as much as they possibly can - they have great fun seeing who knows the most colours, and can create the longest answers.
The key colours are: blue, green, pink and yellow. There are two backgrounds to choose from - either the Spanish flag, or black wave. Laminate the posters if possible, or print on card stock, particularly if you’re going to use them as flashcards to introduce and practise language too: they’ll hang really nicely, stay in good shape, and you’ll be able to use the posters for many years to come!

My younger students love to see Spanish displays in the classroom, and they also work really well for older beginner Spanish learners too. There are 25 vegetables, definite article, feminine and masculine, singular and plural, which is a really effective way of promoting discussion about the concept of gender in Spanish.
I tend to vary my Spanish classroom 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 vegetables at this stage, but I use a range that includes some that children may not know yet, such as asparagus and artichoke. 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 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: Spanish flag or black wave, so 50 posters in all.
