La rentrée | Cartes éclair | La salle de classe

Are you looking for some ways to introduce the vocabulary of the classroom? Or would you just like to review the vocabulary at the beginning of the school year? This resource will provide that and much more. As there is a great variety of words on the flashcards, you have the option of using a fewer number of cards at the beginning of the school year and you can add more and more words to ‘your set’ as your students’ vocabulary will increase throughout the year. Please see more explanation below. Keeping more words at a designated location is always a great way to differentiate among your students and keep everyone engaged.

It is a good idea to laminate these cards for durability. Please see the different sizes of the cards before purchasing.

Content:

- 200 flashcards (PDF)

- 1 editable file (PowerPoint) so you will be able to customize words to your liking

This resource contains 200 printable flashcards in 3 sets (all with colourful images), as well as an editable file with 7 pages.  All printable flashcards are in the same file as follows:

✏️ 1st set (pages 8 to 27) – 80 flashcards: These are large size flashcards (10x13.5cm) with 80 words altogether. Below you will find the words in alphabetical order. (A very few are repetitive in order to satisfy a variety of customers who are from other parts of the world and might use different words/terms in their classrooms). These cards can be used either on a word wall/white board or in a center activity. Due to their large size, it can be useful to place some cards on the white board where students are all able to see them from their desks. For example, you can introduce an activity by placing some of the cards on the board (e.g., Pour cette activité, tu vas avoir besoin d’un crayon, de ton cahier, etc). It is especially useful in grade 1 French Immersion and grade 4 Core French (Canadian context) when the students are introduced to these words the first time.

These cards can also be used for labelling objects in the classroom.

The following words are available on the flashcards on both sizes (1st set: 10x13.5cm; and 2nd set: 6x9cm):

(In order to save space, the words are listed in alphabetical order, and every second word is highlighted so that you can better navigate through this list).

C: un cahier – une calculatrice - un calendrier - une carte du monde - une chaise – un chargeur - des ciseaux - un crayon - un crayon de cire

E: une école - des écouteurs - un effaceur - une étagère – un évier

F: une fenêtre – une feuille - un feutre – une fontaine

G: un globe - une gomme - une gomme à effacer

H: une horloge

L: une lampe - un liquide correcteur – un livre – une loupe

M: un magazine - un marqueur – un microscope - une montre (to differenciate between ‘horloge’ and ‘montre’)

P: une palette – de la peinture – une pelle – une pelle à poussière - un pinceau – un placard – une plante – un pince-notes - une porte - un pot de colle - un pot de peinture - un projecteur – une poubelle – un presse-papiers - une punaise - un pupitre

T: une table - un tableau - un tableau blanc - un tableau interactif - un taille-crayon – un tapis – un trombone - une trousse – une trousse à crayons

✏️ 2nd set (pages 28 to 37) – 80 flashcards: These cards (size 6x9cm) have the same words as the large flashcards. You can have the option of either using the big cards or the smaller ones on your word wall. Or you can have these cards kept together with a metal ring in one of your centers. It is also a great option to have a couple of sets of these cards at a designated location - your students can borrow them in order to complete their workbooks at their desks. Since there are 80 words in the set, you can choose how many flashcards you would like to keep together as study cards for your class, and you can increase the number of words on your word wall/ board and class set throughout the year.

Matching Card Game: You can also make two sets of these small cards (using about 15 to 20 words of this set) to create a memory game. It is a great way to practice the vocabulary and have fun at the same time.

✏️ 3rd set (pages 38-47) – 40 flashcards: These Flashcards (size: 9.5x13.5cm) are for whole sentences with c’est/ce sont and il y a. They were created in order to help student differentiate between c’est/ce sont and il y a, as students (especially those who speak English as their first language) have/might have more difficulty differentiating between the two at the beginning. These cards will help them understand between identifying on object (Qu’est-ce que c’est? – C’est un livre.) and presenting an object (Qu’est-ce qy’il y a dans ta trousse? – Il y a un crayon dans ma trousse.)

These cards can be used alongside the ‘word’ flashcards in order for the students to see how to create proper sentences when describing objects they use on a daily basis. Some words from the list below can be/are more challenging (e.g., pince-notes). You can keep them aside until you feel your students are ready to use them. I included these types of words in the list as students always use English words instead (Est-ce que je peux avoir un ‘clipboard’, un ‘binder clip’, etc.).

Here are the cards for the sentences:

C’est un crayon. – Ce sont des crayons.

C’est un cahier. – Ce sont des cahiers.

C’est un ordinateur. – Ce sont des ordinateurs.

C’est un livre. – Ce sont des livres.
