Here are resources I have created for my lower ability learners (first year learning French). You will find: a worksheet where they have to circle the correct answers. some loto cards to play bingo (age,months of the year) some cards (to play match the picture to the word) snakes and ladders (revise je m’appelle, age, greetings) snakes and ladders (les mois de l’annee)

Here are speaking games I have created to encourage my young learners to practise their speaking skills. I follow the content of Primary Sentence Builders by Gianfranco Conti. I play these games as a whole class first (teacher vs children, boys vs girls so that I can monitor their French). I play these games at the end of a topic when the children are fairly confident with the language. You will find a four in a row/ connect four games on (basics French, how you feel and why using adjectives, stationery, places in town). You will also battle-ship games (ca va parce que je suis, pets and colours, places in town…to do with older children as it can take for ever).

You will find various games (4 in a row, battle-ships and snakes and ladders in order to practise saying how you feel and why using adjectives, saying your age and name. For the 4 in row, I expect my pupils to figure what the visual cues means in French, to say what the emoji means in terms of feelings or to translate the French sentences into English and vice and versa. The language is based on Primary French Sentence Builders from Gianfranco Conti.

Each slide has the correct answer. The last two slides can be used as visual prompt. The pupils have to tell what students have (stationery, clothes, hair) or what there is in the classroom.
