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.
Easter Semana Santa
For learners of Spanish, containing Easter vocabulary and personal information.
An Easter card game plus further activities. With Easter words thrown in, you may get away with using this in your lessons to bring in Easter vocabulary! A card game gets you started and further activities for reading/writing/speaking are explained on the last sheet.
La Maison
A French group activity to help describe your house.
Décrit sa maison
How does it work?
First, give everyone a copy of the text.
Learners start by filling in the literacy sheet on this.
Next, randomly give out the pictures which you (of course in all that spare time you’ve got…) have printed and cut up.
Learners then use the text as a basis for writing by working as a group. They can then present their writing to the class at the end. The class try to work out which property they have described and give reasons why.
Alternatively… not in the mood for group work? Give each learner a picture to do the writing individually. Or even in pairs! Bon courage…
