By La trousse de Madame
ATTENTION GRABBERS
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...'
I keep a list of new and fun ways of getting students attention in my notes on my phone and try them out with my students. I love it when they get to the point that they spontaneously answer back.
Here are the four posters I have up in my classroom. My students love them!
How to use this product:
1. Copy the resource with a colour printer
2. Or, print in Poster mode on your printer and get larger sized posters for your classroom
3. Laminate for year to year use
*****You will notice a line on the item between the rectangle and triangle shapes of colour. Please note, when I printed and many of my colleagues have printed at home and at school, all printers 'read' the colours as being one!
Who can use this resource:
This set of Attention Grabbers is great for students from JK to Grade 8 in the French Immersion or Core French setting. Educators are able to teach these quick and easy sayings at any Grade level.

First Day of School "Language Talk"
By Language Arts Excellence
Whether you teach Spanish, French, German, or Mandarin Chinese, this is the perfect lesson to get your students thinking about the purpose of studying foreign languages!
This product features an engaging "Language Talk" activity that will have your new students thinking, writing, speaking, and moving on the very first day of school. In this activity, they must choose between 6 different quotes about the purpose of learning languages and articulate why the quote aligns with their perspective. I use this lesson every year to set the tone for what I expect in class - it is a great way to gain insight about their current attitudes towards speaking another language while they get to know one another with a higher level thinking activity as opposed to the same-old, same-old icebreaker.
Product includes:
Though I utilize this product on the first day of school, it really can be used all year long. I hope that it is as successful in your class as it is in mine!

FRENCH | BACK-TO-SCHOOL/RENTRÉE | 4 CORNERS/4 COINS | ICEBREAKER | GET TO KNOW
By French Made Fun!
This is a freebie for you!
This game of "Four Corners" is not new or unique; however, this one will work great for your middle schoolers who need to get up and move, and you'll find they are more apt to share without raising their hands or writing it down. This quick and easy, no prep and no printing activity will allow you to truly get to know them on a personal level very quickly.
It's HIGHLY visual so this could even fly in a Core French classroom (Grades 5 - 9); however, I use it in an immersion setting (Grades 5 and 6). It could comfortably be used in any Immersion or French first-language classroom (Grades 3 - 9). As with all of my products, it's not at all babyish and doesn't feature fonts that are frilly or hard-to-read.
For this activity, simply project and GO. I let my students know that they will have to choose their response and move to the corner of the room that suits their answer. You can either click through the slides, have a student touch your SmartBoard to move them along, or you can use a remote clicker or mouse (I do while I'm playing!) to keep the slides rolling.
This Google Slide Deck features :

I hope you have a G R E A T back-to-school, and hope your kids love you! I sure appreciate all of you!
Don't forget to have fun and be real!
