French resources for busy teachers

Fun and Engaging French Vocabulary Units

French vocabulary units

I’ve created many French vocabulary units that are full of engaging speaking activities and games built to support the written practice students will do as they complete the unit packets. Almost all of the units include paperless resources, too!

Find all my French vocabulary units here at Teachers Pay Teachers.

French vocabulary units for level 1:

At my TpT store, you’ll find many resources for teaching basic concepts such as numbers, weather, time, family, colors, clothing, food, and adjectives. These French vocabulary units include many resources for regular -er, -ir, and -re verb conjugations. In addition, a number of bundles have common irregular verbs including avoir, être, faire, aller, and venir that will provide in-context learning for students.

I have a lot of beginner units, and one of the most popular is my French food bundle. This is intended for beginners, and the notes and directions are in English.

Here are a just a few of the resources included in the French food unit.

 

French food unit

This French foods activity packet includes written activities for -er verbs + prendre & boire, definite, indefinite, and partitive articles, and two sets of food vocabulary (at the café & at the market). It’s also got speaking activities and verb games that are perfect for beginners.

This French menu project is a really fun part of the bundle that beginning students LOVE! Students create their own menus (like this shown in the example) using the unit vocabulary. It’s so fun! To make your job easier, there are multiple grading rubrics included.

Three sets of Boom Cards™ (paperless resources used online) are included in this bundle, but this set with audio is one of my favorites! These recently added cards are a great way for students to practice listening at their own pace as they learn new words. Even better? These are self-checking, so students get instant feedback!

Teachers LOVE this bundle! What do they say?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”Mme R’s resources are my go-to for units like this! No-prep so I can focus on my millions of other tasks.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”I can’t say enough about this bundle-worth every penny! High quality, organized, so many great things! You will find this invaluable as you teach food and drink! Merci!”

 

French vocabulary units for level 2:

I’ve created many resources for teaching regular and irregular present tense verbs, the passé composé, reflexive verbs, and direct / indirect objects. In addition, I’ve created some French vocabulary units for cities/places, food, house and home, chores, body parts, travel, parties, and more.

My passé composé unit is really popular with teachers, because it works so well. The student packet has a full-French version plus a version like the one below with English notes and directions, making it really easy to provide just the right challenge. Read more about my passé composé unit HERE.

Here are just a few of the resources available in my passé composé unit. 


This French passé composé packet is filled with speaking activities and verb games to complement the worksheets that help students master the written skills needed for the passé composé. With set-by-step instructions in French and English, it’s easy to provide just the right amount of support to students. 

passé composé worksheets

These passé composé speaking prompts are just one of the speaking activities included in the passé composé unit. With 80 questions to choose from and a master list of questions, it’s so easy to do a Q and A session anytime you have a few extra minutes. Use the included activity ideas to mix it up so you can use these over and over! 

passé composé speaking prompts

 

One of my favorite ways to review concepts is with a game of Scoot! This French passé composé scoot game includes task cards and the student answer boards. These games are such a fun way to practice written skills while getting students up and moving. (Did you know that movement is SO helpful for learning?)

What do teachers say about this passé composé unit?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Amazing resource, my students crushed our passe compose unit because of this resource. The worksheets and games were so helpful for all the levels of my students. Loved this resource so much.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”This resource is amazing! The activities are fun and engaging. The notes and booklet are easy to understand and well organized. My students learn the passe compose in a fast and interesting way.”

 

French vocabulary units for level 3 and up:

I’ve also got grammar-focused and French vocabulary units for intermediate and advanced classes. At my TpT store, you’ll find resources for teaching and practicing verb structures such as the imparfait, subjonctif, futur simple, and conditional.

Here’s a few pages from my French futur simple bundle showing som of the worksheets and the PowerPoint presentation that goes along with them. 

French futur simple unit

What do teachers say about this futur simple unit?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This was great scaffolding for my students as we worked through to authentic use of the futur simple. My students enjoyed the practice activities and the interpersonal speaking activities. The exit tickets are great checks of understanding. Merci.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Incredible resource once again!! Everything you need to help hit all the ACTFL standards and grow students’ proficiency. My students just loved their packets, and it helped them feel confident with future, and the class activities were also very engaging and fun. Also I found the evaluation rubric to be incredibly handy and fast to provide immediate feedback to students. Highly recommend this bundle!”

 

French holiday and seasonal units

Love holidays? I’ve also got a lot of seasonal bundles, too! This French Christmas unit is one of my favorites! The seasonal bundles don’t contain the same assessment pieces as the grammar and vocabulary bundles, because they are created to be used with a variety of levels as enrichment, sub plans, or any time you want something fun to do!

French Christmas vocabulary worksheet

Just like all the other packets listed here, these French Christmas worksheets have a variety of activities to practice vocabulary that will make it so easy to provide just the right challenge to students. There are games, puzzles, and speaking activities, too!

French-christmas-game

This French vocabulary game is my students’ all-time favorite way to review vocabulary! Students race to find the correct word as you call out the vocabulary you are reviewing. You can use the images to call out the French words or the word cards to call out the English as they hunt for the French. It’s so fun!

French j'ai qui a game for Christmas

This French J’ai… qui a…? game is a quick and easy way to practice saying and listening for some common vocabulary words. It’s simple to play, but you can make it really fun by giving a prize to the class who completes the full circle in the fastest time.

What do teachers say about this French Christmas unit?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Love this bundle for all the Christmas resources. There are so many options included that there really is something for everyone. Great to use with lower level French students.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I use these handouts each year. The students love the change of pace to do some fun christmas activities. There is a huge variety of handouts for various levels.”

My beginner bundles for first year students are available in a French 1 resources bundle, too! This bundle includes thousands of pages of French speaking and writing activities, games, tests, quizzes, projects, and presentations for the beginning Core French student. While it is a complete year of French 1 resources with tests, quizzes, pacing guides, and tons of engaging resources, anything new I make for French 1 gets added to it. Buyers get all additions and updates to products for FREE!

French 1 curriculum

Here’s what teachers say about the French 1 bundle:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “After using a few individual Mme R’s French Resources, I took the plunge and purchased this bundle for the new school year! It is so incredibly worth it! I especially love how different options are provided for evaluations.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This is a phenomenal bundle with so much in it! The seller is super nice and extremely helpful with any questions or inquiries. So many skills and topics are covered, with a variety of activities to engage students and reinforce learning. It’s expensive but definitely worth the cost!”

 

Looking for a full year of activities for French 2? 

This enormous bundle contains an entire year of French 2 teaching units! It is growing, so that means I make additions to it as I create new resources for level 2 students. Each French vocabulary unit includes engaging speaking and writing activities that students love.

French 2 curriculum

Here’s what teachers say about the French 2 bundle:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”This bundle is amazingly complete and is easily used to follow our scope and sequence. There are plenty of differentiated activities that are optional to do with kids. For kids needing a copy of notes, this is exactly what I use for that. Everyone gets a packet and we work through the exercises in addition to my direct instruction. The assessments are fair and easily chunked for students who need additional time. The graphics are happy and enrich the resources.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”Absolutely fabulous resource. There are so many different activities covering all domains. Her resources are just so thorough and even include answer keys. They are exactly what I would do if I had endless hours of free time to prep. One of the best items I have ever purchased from TpT. Thank you so much!”
