Hello everyone and welcome to the third edition of the days of the week in French. This edition focuses on ‘mercredi’ (Wednesday in French). Introducing a day of the week one day at a time might be advantageous for students who find learning a foreign language difficult, especially when they become overburdened with learning all of the days of the week at once.

This pack includes:

Powerpoint of the story with questions and answers, followed by a quiz.

First of all, introduce the word ‘mercredi’ and play games with the word such as the hot and cold game. Get the children to read the story and ask them questions after each picture and them ask them to complete the quiz. There are differentiated questions in the quiz. ‘Level B’ represents the easier level and ‘level A’ represents the higher level questions.

A workbook

Page 2 - The children can colour in the words and the flags of the different countries where ‘Wednesday’ is translated into the home languages
Pages 3-5 - A duplication of the story where the children can read it at their own leisure or follow it while reading the story on the powerpoint
Pages 6-8 - The children can colour in the pictures of the story at their own leisure
Pages 9-10 - The children answer the questions on the story and they can explain in English why the statements are false
Page 11 - The children copy out the word ‘mercredi’ on the light grey font
Page 12 - The children find the word ‘lundi’, ‘mardi’ and ‘mercredi’ as many times as they can. The word ‘lundi’ appears 12 times, ‘mardi’ appears 11 times and ‘mercredi’ appears 13 times.
Page 13 - The children write dates on the crossword according to the clues given (you can do this only if they know dates in French. You can just skip this section if they haven’t yet done numbers 1-31 and the months of the year)
Pages 14-16 - Cut out the dates for the ‘missing Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays’ on the calendar for May 2025. They can cut out the dates for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday on page 16 and then stick them on the calendar on page 14.

The subsequent days of the week will be appearing shortly and then a edition in which all the days of the week will be consolidated at once. Please do keep an eye out for these.

Happy teaching and learning!
