FRENCH CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCHES #2

FSL / FLE FRANÇAIS FRENCH CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCHES FRENCH FOR CHILDREN CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCHES BEGINNER FRENCH CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCHES 10 DIFFERENTIATED WORD SEARCHES WITH ANSWER KEYS AND FRENCH CHRISTMAS VOCABULARY LIST FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS

Ten differentiated word searches, with each consecutive grid increasing in challenge. It focuses on 30 French Christmas words, which will also help to develop students’ awareness of some French-speaking countries Christmas traditions and figures, such as galette des Rois and Père Fouettard, which I've translated here as Father Fouettard, rather than Whipping Father. The vocabulary is really useful for stimulating discussion about French Christmas practices and customs. Students also enjoy talking about other Christmas traditions they know or follow. The vocabulary list features the definite article, though some grids also have the indefinite article / plurals for additional challenge.

= Grids 1-4 are French-French, where students are prompted with the French words, and look for them in French in the grid. For additional consolidation, each grid also features an English word list to complete. 

= Grids 5-8 are English-French, where the prompts are given in English, and students look for the French translation in the grid. They also write the French translation of the English word. 

= Grids 9 and 10 prompt students with a specific Christmas image, and they look for the corresponding French word in the grid, also completing a French vocabulary list for additional consolidation.

There is an answer key for each word search, so that students can check their answers, or use for a little extra help if they need it. The answer keys help them develop independence in their learning, and also provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with the French vocabulary. The word searches and answer keys are in portrait format, with arrows indicating in which direction the individual words are located.

There is an alphabetical French-English Christmas vocabulary list which students find really helpful. There are two formats: search grids and answer keys together, so that they can be printed out and copied double-sided, and search grids / answer keys as separate files.

The word searches are useful in a range of learning contexts - as bell ringers, starters, refreshers, finishers, fun-time fillers and for sub / cover lessons at any time during the Christmas / Holiday season.
