French School Lunch Menu Activities Bundle - 5 French and English Versions

Here are five no prep printable activities to use along with my free French school lunch menu series. You get five versatile worksheets that you can use with any of the lunch menus I've provided. Since there are so many menus available, having five different worksheets to use will keep your menu activities from becoming boring. All of the menus are in French only, but each worksheet has a French only and an English only version so that you can use them with any level whether you teach core French or in French immersion.

I recommend printing the menu you want to use on one side of a sheet of paper and the set of questions you want to use on the other. Talk about a time saver and fun cultural addition to your food unit!

Versions 1 - 4 have ten questions each while version 5 has six questions. The questions on these worksheets will have your students learning a lot about cultural differences concerning menu items as well as the amount of time French students get for lunch, why there's no menu for Wednesday, etc.

Your students will find it interesting to see that French kids are offered une entrée, un plat principal, une garniture, un produit laitier, et un dessert every day.

It would be fun to look up images of some of these menu items to show students what they look like and if they eat anything similar at their schools or homes.

These activities and menus are all included in my French Food & Drink bundle.

• Digital Escape games - Spanish Bundle

Make learning about Mardi Gras interesting with this no-prep Mardi Gras digital escape game.  The game includes access to a website where your students will hunt for the keys to unlock a set of locks.  Students will need to read the clues very carefully and watch videos, visit websites, and read texts to find the information they need to win the game.  Very easy to use - just send your students to the website and let them work!  Students can play individually or in teams. 

Mardi Gras is here! Your friend has sent you some beads, but you can't open the box they're in without figuring out the codes to the locks. Learn about Mardi Gras and open the box to get your prize in this Mardi Gras digital escape game. This is a challenging activity that students will need to work together and think critically in order to complete. All readings are in English

Digital escape games are a fun way to start a unit, or to review at the end of a unit.  They can also be used to learn about a cultural or historical event.  This game will have your students reading carefully and paying attention to the smallest details in order to complete the challenge and unlock the locks.  

This item includes:

• Access to a website where your students can play the game
• Complete teacher's guide to playing the game
• Answer key so you can help students if they get stuck!

Your students will enjoy learning without even realizing that they are learning!  The challenging game format will get them excited about finding the code to unlock each lock - and the format of the clues for each lock will have them paying close attention - there's no way to solve the puzzles  without being 100% focused! 

Topics in this game include:

• Krewes
• Throws
• The Cajuns
• King's Cake
• Calculating the Date of Mardi Gras (note that the game is updated each year, so be sure to download the updated teacher guide so you'll have the correct answer key!)

Prep is very easy - you just need to share the website URL with your students.  You may want to test the site before you use it, just to make sure nothing is blocked by your district.  As some of the clues can be challenging to unlock, you may choose to help your students with the trickier ones.  With the teacher guide, you will have the answer key - so you can help guide students towards the correct answer by giving them hints, or if you have limited time, you can adjust the game by reducing the number of locks they need to unlock - just give them the answer(s) to help the activity fit your time constraints.

The Global Challenges unit of AP Spanish® has many interesting contexts, including the environment. This digital and printable article talks about the effects of global warming in Antarctica, and explains the paradox of how rising temperatures actually cause more snow! Distance learners can complete this via a Google Doc or by doing the auto-graded goformative version. Students who prefer paper copies can have a print-out! Save time searching the net to find a good article, and save more time by letting goformative grade this for you! Another benefit to the goformative version is that students can see the article side by side with the questions, and the questions are embedded just where they can find the answer! It's a great scaffold for students still developing their reading comprehension skills!

This article is good for students who are ready for a challenge and/or who like science. It's a little longer than the other article I posted for this unit, but the embedded questions make this accessible for students!

Who can use this product?

• Students in Year 4, 5 or AP®
• Students studying the environment

How can I use this product?

• Assign this article in class or for homework
• Assign this article via Google classroom or other learning management platform, or print it out
• Assign this article via Goformative (free for educators! All you need to do is create an account!)
• Use this as a class activity or as a graded assessment
• Let Goformative grade it for you!
• Use this as one source of information for class discussions, debates or cultural comparisons

What's included in this product?

• a 10-page Google doc article with link to internet source (the line-spacing in this article makes it seem very long. The questions are embedded within the article so students can find the answers easier.)
• 7 embedded questions on the Google doc (AP multiple choice style)
• an answer key
• A link to the Goformative version of this article and questions (which self-grades)
• All parts of this product can be customized to suit your students' needs!

Comprehensible input is important in a world languages class - but you can't always do stories. This is a French comprehensible input lesson that uses target structures in a comprehensible way to teach about a nonfiction topic - the palace of Versailles. The text is simple enough for first semester French.

The target structures are:

• voulait
• il y a
• habitait
• aujourd'hui

This item includes:

• A 30-slide PowerPoint with repetition of the target vocabulary
• a text version of the PowerPoint
• comprehension questions
• a grammar explanation and exercises for most basic forms of the imparfait
• a story retell sheet with photos - one for writing, one for oral retell
• a list of associated videos
• a complete answer key
