A cute French letter to Father Christmas: pupils simply write their name and age and address and ask Father Christmas for 3 things.
You could provide a list, get them to look up in dictionaries or draw/stick images depending on age group and ability.
To save printing costs (and extend the length of the activity), opt to display the letters on the IWB and pupils copy the model letter, filling in the gaps.

The task cards vary in difficulty from multiple choice to translations.
This set is a Christmas theme and is an excellent follow up to my Christmas PowerPoint presentation.
