"I have, Who has?" is a fun and engaging whole-class game for your French class to practice vocabulary. The vocabulary used on the cards is French numbers from zero to thirty nine, not in numerical order. This game includes a pdf file with 40 cards as well as directions, an answer key, and a student answer sheet. My students love playing this game, especially when I time them. They love trying to beat their times.

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 :

• 29 pre-created, non-modifiable question slides with 4 options to choose from.
• A template for you to use if you'd like to add in your own questions at the end of the presentation.

Other ways to play:

• I've also allowed students independently to each create a slide and add it into the mix on day 2! Should you choose this option, simply copy the last slide into a Google Slide (11" x 8.5") and share a copy to each student in Google Classroom. Let the magic begin!
• You can choose to extend this activity by having your students huddled in their corners chat about their preferences, or share with the whole group. You can also (I do!!) play WITH them and get to know your students based on these small conversations in the "corners" of your classroom.

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!

Bell Ringers - Daily Journals for French class.

1. Day 1:  Show them the presentation and model for them.

2. Day 2: 

3. Print, copy, and have them ready for students as they walk in.

4. Saving on paper? Copy machine never works? Download the slide as a png and have students write on them on a touchscreen device or their own papers. My students use the app Chrome Canvas on their Chromebooks. I loan styluses to students during class. They aren’t too expensive. Some students just write with their fingers.

5. Day 2: Discuss the responses as a class. If you need to repeat Day 1 for the talking part for a few days, that’s okay. They will get it.

6. Days 3-5: Continue discussing responses after the journal each day. This will help them with writing and speaking.

7. Days 6 and on (or when you know they are ready): When used consistently, students will be able to speak with the phrases very quickly. Have them sit in groups and discuss their journals as you walk around the room. I often keep track of points on Class Dojo and give them a goal to shoot for.

8. Scaffold so that students will be able to talk without the journal eventually.

9. Use the words and phrases that they have learned in other activities.

10. Add the questions and answers to write stories as a class or individually. I tell students to include the day, date, weather, etc in all of their stories.

11. Ask students what another student said work on other perspectives, i.e. I, you, he, she, etc. 

12. Student A: C’est mercredi.

This essential knowledge organiser is designed to support students in mastering Module 1, Qui suis-je?, from the IGCSE Studio French (Edexcel) textbook. It provides a thorough compilation of key vocabulary across all module units and highlights essential grammar points. Additionally, it includes a convenient Quizlet QR code, enabling students to practice vocabulary and grammar independently and reinforce their skills outside of class.

The knowledge organiser is useful for students during in-class writing or speaking activities and also serves as an excellent tool for independent revision.

This resource is ideal for Year 9, Year 10, Year 11, or any student preparing for the IGCSE French exam.

Topics included are:
0.1 - Qui suis-je? Point de départ 1
0.2 - Qui suis-je? Point de départ 2
1 - A comme amitié
2 - C’est de famille!
3 - On va voir un spectacle?
4 - C’est bientôt dimanche?
5 - Les tâches ménagères – on aime ou on n’aime pas!
6 - Il était une fois …

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:

• Comprehensive Lesson Plan
• "Language" Sheet for students to fill out
• 6 Corresponding "Language Quote" signs to hang up around your room

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!

Your students will enjoy practicing French semester 1 topics in this French snowman game!  As they complete the tasks, they will gather the objects needed to build a snowman.  The game is self-grading and students will need to get all of the answers correct in order to move on.

There are 5 different challenges.  The tasks will have students using different skills to practice the topics and vocabulary commonly taught in a first semester French course. Each task will help the student gather an item to build a snowman.

**Task 1: **Listen to the audio and select the correct image of school supplies.

**Task 2: **Read the information about the people and their favorite activities and match the images

Task 3: Match the digits to the numbers

Task 4: Play "memory" to match the French sentences with the image of the clockk face

**Task 5: **Place the verbs in the correct position to complete the paragraph - avoir, être and ER verbs.

At the end of the game, the students will have 5 different objects.  They will use the objects to build a snowman.  After they complete the snowman, they will see a screen of a cup of hot chocolate and a congratulations note. As the game does not track student data, you will want them to take a screenshot as proof of completion.

Let's get counting! Whether introducing numbers for the first time, or just brushing up on some basics, numbers are everywhere in language. Make sure your students have a solid grip on their digits with this fun, quick wordsearch practice.

Resource includes:

• Wordsearch with French numerals 1-20
• Optional Translation Sheet (perfect for teaching dictionary proficiency!)
• Corresponding Answer Keys

Wordsearches are excellent to use as bell ringers, for early finishers, homework assignments, or for when you just need a minute to catch up!
