French Personal Information ID Cards
An engaging, fun 60 page resource (including cover pages, TOU and instructions)
lots of activity pages for your learners which you can assign carefully according to ability, based on reading and writing skills
Each page has jolly Christmas characters. We use their ‘cartes d’identité’ to discover lots about them and then use it as a basis for 1st person and/or 3rd person writing using personal information.
Vocabulary is based on simple personal information but learners may need a little research on some items (e.g. beignets)
Language covered:
first name/last name/birthday (number/month)/where they live/siblings/pets/likes and dislikes
This Distance Learning Pack can be used from home but equally would work well as printables for consolidation or revision of personal information. It could be used for cover lessons if you as the class teacher have already covered the basics. Alternatively, you as the teacher could print or assign sheets as bell tasks or homework.
Answers are included
The first 6 cards are in colour, then they are repeated in black and white. There are also A5 versions. You could print and laminate the A5 ones and use them as permanent resources and perhaps use them in conjunction with the question sheets.
Further development: Once learners have filled in their own carte d’identité they could use 3rd person to write about a classmate.

Now you’ve got something different every Easter for every KS4 Spanish group looking at Semana Santa vocabulary:
Individual learning booklets for Years 10 and 11. All covering increasing levels of vocabulary/activity difficulty.
Comprehensive bilingual vocabulary list included in each one.
activities include reading, writing, word puzzles
Answer booklets included.
B&W versions included.
Also have a look at the KS3 bundle and I’ve bundled both Key Stages also: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12509206
Happy teaching!
Bring some fun to Year 11 lessons at Easter time! Semana Santa tasks include word puzzles, reading and writing plus Easter cards to create. Vocabulary includes Spanish Easter words, opinions plus much more so that the resource can work alongside your everyday teaching.
Being the last packet of five, the tasks are less supported and more independent input is expected of learners! (e.g. open-ended writing tasks)
This resource works well because
☛ it’s a flexible 11 page learning booklet for your Year 10s to learn vocabulary for Easter in Spanish.
☛ it’s a really engaging work packet which will liven up any Spanish lesson.
☛ the booklet could be used for
in-person printables
distance learning
starter tasks
homework
cover lessons
☛ it’s low or even no prep’ for you
☛ it can run alongside what learners are already doing to aid reading and deciphering skills e.g. photo description
☛ a bilingual vocabulary list included and answer pages where appropriate.
☛ a black and white version is also included
Vocabulary really is comprehensive in case learners are unable to look up words easily, so you may wish to remove this section if you prefer a more difficult work booklet!
Booklets are flattened to protect my work and that of others within the resource and are un-editable.

L’alphabet en français
Learn the pronuncation of the alphabet in French
A sheet to hand our and/project. The sheet explains how to pronounce the alphabet in French. It is useful as an introduction to the sounds as it has them underneath the letter.
If you print this as a worksheet you can then exploit it with teacher-led speaking/listening tasks. The learners could learn to spell out their own names or even celebrities’ names.
French Classroom Signs
Thirty two target language signs to print and laminate to display to encourage French speaking in the classroom. Sixteen student phrases/questions and sixteen teacher instructions. Includes two sheets with each of the sixteen grouped on them in case you don’t have room on your wall: you could print student copies instead.
