Less than $5 French Activities (by date, latest first)

This two-sided chatty mat (sentence builder) is a learning aid aimed at developing speaking skills in French. It is aimed at helping learners structure their description of a picture (People, Location, Activity) in a methodical way so that they have a structure they can rely on. You can see the preview of the first page in the listing.

The resource offers a very clear structure, range of vocabulary for a range of picture scenarios, as well as a range of general conversation questions with sample answers.

A few Ideas/Suggestions on How to Use This Resource:

1. Adapt the Resource – Before introducing this resource to your students, you may wish to tweak it to better suit their needs.
2. Introduce and Expand Vocabulary – Go through the vocabulary with your students, identifying and labeling unfamiliar words in their native language. This can be done section by section or for the entire table, depending on your students and circumstances. Encourage them to add any additional relevant vocabulary!
3. Model Photo Descriptions – Demonstrate how to describe a photo, either yourself or together with students. Use PLA (People, Location, Action) and the acronym WhoWheRAC (Who, Where, Relationship, Appearance, Location) to guide their descriptions of people.
4. Encourage Regular Practice – Give students frequent opportunities to describe photos using the resource. An effective approach is to describe multiple photos in one single session, as this reinforces structured descriptions, boosts confidence and enhances motivation.
5. Incorporate Written Practice – If feasible, get students to write a photo description as homework using the resource as a guide. :)

This is a worksheet/lesson (with answers) on jobs and professions in French. The resource can be used to introduce new knowledge or reinforce prior knowledge. It features a list of jobs categorised into cognates, near-cognates and non-cognates, numbers (1-20) and the verb “to be” in the present tense. The worksheet includes 10 varied exercises targeting reading and writing skills, such as translation, fill-in-the-blank, error correction and reading comprehension with multiple-choice questions and the final reflection. It includes brief and clear explanations on how to form plurals in French, the sentence structure differences in English and French and what a cognate is. In the listing, you can see the preview of the first 2 pages.

Suitable for KS3 and KS4 students, it offers a structured yet flexible approach to learning or reinforcing vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure in a practical way.

The resource can be used for teaching, cover work or independent work as the answers are included.

Available in Word format.

The French Phonics Mats are ideal for the K-2 French learner who is just starting to blend sounds in French. Use the NO PREP individual mat cards for centres, additional one-on-one resources for small group instruction, or for students with an IEP who engaged in strategies from the Science of Reading. Ideal for task bins as they can be interchanged daily or weekly depending on your student programming.

What to do:

1. Copy and laminate the sheets. Cut out individual task cards on the left and then Velcro mini dot Velcro to the back of each consonant card. Add a Velcro to the Phonics Mat.

Put the mats at a centre with a whiteboard marker and an eraser (I use socks from the Dollar Store…much cheaper and they last forever!)

2. You can also use this resource by simply laminating each sheet and using a whiteboard marker to make CV sound blends.

Science of Reading:

These cards are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven Phonics Mats on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple French Phonics Mats to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.

Phonics Mats are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.

What grade level:

I personally use these mats with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the phonics mats with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills and those with an IEP.

Phonics mats are ideal for a fun centre for Senior Kindergarten and the students will be thrilled to see them used once they graduate to Grade 1.

J'ai... Qui a...? (I have... Who has...?)

This great French phonics game is a fantastic way to get your students talking. Students of every grade absolutely love this easy to use card game. The easy prep cards can be made in colour or black and white and can be used with words or without, depending on the level of French phonological awareness that they have acquired.

If they are only setting out in their French journey, try cards with no words and watch them get talking. With students that have been learning with the Science of Reading, decoding and blending are the next steps.

Once students have all the simple sounds (sons simples) in French, we start to introduce complex sounds (sons complexes). I usually teach OU first and then AN. This allows students to now be able to decode hundreds of words.

Activity Cards include:

-memory practice

-decoding practice

-blending sounds

-lowercase letter recognition

-identifying phonemes

-decoding simple and complex sounds

-word recognition

-identifying sound in an image

-matching sounds and words

-student interaction

-oral fluency and efficiency

-builds confidence in speaking French in class

Sentences are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.

Students build reading fluency depending on their level (words or no words)

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills.

-1 head band design with 'I mark myself safe from Solar Eclipse 2024'

Directions:

-Colour the sun rays yellow or leave them white

-Simply cut along the dotted line around the sun rays, then cut the strips for attaching around the child’s head.

In the French classroom, it can be difficult to find new and engaging ways to grab the attention of our students without falling back on the old standards of 'les mains sur la tete...'

French Number Lines are not always easy to find to fit the tone and feeling of your classroom! I have developed this number line with simple font and easy to read numbers and words so that your students can get started on reading their numbers together. This bright coloured French Number Line will look great in your classroom whether you are just starting out or if you need a fresh new look part-way through the year!

What to expect:

-Numerical bubble with one number in each circle

-numbers 1 to 100 (with an extra bubble with '0' in it for use if you choose)*

*Please note the font I chose does not have an 'accent aigu' so you will have to add it in your own hand.

I have added this number line to my classroom and the students started organically using it whenever a number comes up in conversation. We have a clear gateway to practice from any number and we count forward and backward depending on the whim of the day. Students love to be the one to choose our number of the day and we get counting!

French Weekly Self-Assessment FREEBIE

This handy self-assessment sheet is designed largely for French teachers at the K-2 level. The quick and easy table means students just quickly mark the emoji that best suits how they feel about their week.

It takes students a few weeks to really get used to being reflective about their role in the learning process but believe me, it is so rewarding when they start to really understand the role they play in making each week successful.

Who can use this resource?

I use this resource for Grade 1 and Grade 2 and have passed it along to our Kindergarten team and we all love its simplicity

How do I use it?

Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Just copy enough pages for your class. I like to do this a few times in small group batches until students really get the hang of it. Then, we can do it as a whole group at the end of the week.

I reflect back to it often during the week so students are primed to put some metacognition into play.

The large format cards are great for my Grade 1 students as we can do a lot of whole class instruction and the students have so much fun coming up to the front of the class to come up with the 'really hard' CV combinations for their peers to read out loud.

Use the smaller sets for learning centres, individual work, and pair work as your students get familiar with their phonological awareness and phonemic awareness. My students happen to love 'testing' each other by flipping the cards, saying the sound, and then waiting as their 'students' write what they think is the correct letter on their whiteboards!

We love them so much as we can sneak in a little decoding and Science of Reading whenever we get a minute or two of time to fill.

Who can use this resource:

Any French educator who is wanting to practice, assess, and deepen their students understanding of sound work in French. This item is suitable for French Immersion, Core French, and French instruction at any level. Students in the Core French environment can benefit from using these sets independently for writing assignments and group activities. Immersion teachers will find these flip cards useful for any students from Grades 1 to 4 who need an extra boost to building a stronger phonological awareness and phonemic awareness. This coincides beautifully with the 'Heggerty type' approach to French Instruction being introduced in many provinces in Canada.

What you get in this resource:

-sound cards for consonants in small size

-sound cards for consonants in large size

-sound cards for vowel sound in French including the accents on the 'e' (aigu, grave, and circonflexe) in small

-sound cards for vowel sound in French including the accents on the 'e' (aigu, grave, and circonflexe) in large format

These items are SOR friendly and are great for decoding, encoding, and developing a more robust phonemic awareness and phonological awareness.

Easter Colour by Code Activity

Easter No-Prep Colouring Pages are the best!

I LOVE giving students fun and engaging activities that they don't even realize has them practicing their decoding skills and immersing themselves in the Science of Reading all while having fun!

These quick Easter activity sheets are just what you need for a quick and easy no-prep activity to keep the students happy in those last busy days before the Easter Break.

Students find them challenging and engaging and a whole lot of fun once they realize they can figure out the image as they go. I hope your students enjoy these as much as mine do.

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple texts to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.

I personally use these colouring activities with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

Science of Reading:

These texts are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven colouring sheets on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!

These NO PREP, easy to read decoding cards are ideal for the K-2 classroom in French immersion, Core French, or Modern Language setting. Aligns perfectly with the Science of Reading and can supplement any reading program. Foster a passion for French language acquisition with materials that engage and ignite a love of learning in your students.

Pyramid Reading Fluency Cards SET 2

These pyramid readers are a favourite of mine in the classroom! They are easy to print and insert into clear folder so students can be independent in minutes. These cards are great for making a quick learning centre, a great way to check reading fluency on the fly, or to do a deep dive with those that need the one-on-one attention.

What to do:

I make 4 copies of a few cards for centre activities, a few sets for a clear folder binder for ‘shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee partner reading, and a set of cards for a quick quiet reading session if we are getting too silly in class.

Once my students became independent with these reading cards, I made smaller versions and put them on a ring so students can quickly grab them when doing silent reading, editing their writing, or gathering ideas for a journal entry.

Sounds included in this resource:

an/en; on; ou; o/au/eau; gn; ui; eu; ouille; qu/c; è/ê

Science of Reading:

These cards aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Vocabulary included:

Un enfant est sur le banc.

Angele prend le cerf-volant.

L’hérisson aime le melon.

Il ronronne quand il ronge le melon.

Lou le hibou joue dans la cours.

Renaud a les bottes dans l'eau.

Le petit champignon est mignon.

Elles se fuient sous le parapluie.

L'oiseau bleu veut chanter de son mieux.

La grenouille fouille dans la boue.

Jacques cache le bouquet.

Mon frère arrête la bête verte

How we use this in class:

I like to set up a variety of centres in my classroom once we are able to consolidate our learning. With concepts from the Science of Reading, we have looked at all the sounds present in the pyramid reading cards. I make copies of the cards and insert into plastic pocket pages that I keep in a binder. I place reading cards into the binder so they face both directions so students can sit across from each other. The students now know that they read each card that is in front of them, wait and listen while their partner reads, and then turn the page. Once they have read them all, they turn the binder and read all the alternate stories that their partner read. My students LOVE this activity and it builds their confidence for when they come to visit me at our small group table and we do our activities around these same sentences.

Effective ways for multiple uses of this resource:

I like to create resources that I can use in many different ways in my classroom. This one resource gets added to my centres:

-whole group reading

-small group reading

-partner reading
