A list of facilities available in a youth hostel: pictures/symbols with the English and space to put the French. The French vocab is provided on a separate sheet for you to use either as answers, or for pupils to cut out and stick on the symbols list. Beware they are in the same order at the moment, so I suggest you ask pupils to cut the French vocab out, then play with it in pairs (guess the English/look up in a dictionary/work with you as a class together), then ask them to stick or copy the French onto the symbols sheet. There are 4 sets of the French vocab on the second page, to save on photocopying.

The first (easiest) has 2 gaps shown and the missing words are listed at the end of each sentence, not necessarily in the correct order. The second version has the same 2 words shown at the end of each sentence, but the gaps are not shown, so pupils decide where to place the words. The third version shows the gaps but has all the missing words jumbled together in a box below the task. All three tasks fit on one page of A4. Answers are provided on the second page.
