Is your school still using Windows PCs / laptops connected to interactive whiteboards or projectors?
If so, have you thought about using TaskMagic to create interactive activities like those below to use with the whole class or teams?
The resources below are all based on basic French TL phrases for students to use in the classroom.
The pdf worksheets below can be printed out or (some of them can be) used in full-screen mode with your projector or IWB.
Another short GCSE French practice text, again taken from this fab pdf on rewardinglearning with absolutely loads of GCSE French voab and grammar practice:

This time the text is about "mon stage en entreprise":

Below are tons of pdfs printed from TaskMagic3, based on the one short text:
- 3 x tile reconstruction - number in order or cut out and reorder.
- 1 x multi-choice sequencing.
- 1 x separate the words.
- 1 x anagram text.
- 1 x find the French.
- 5 x gapfills: 1 with word list (this is the same exercise as the one featured on the pdf file on the link above); 1 multi-choice; 1 context-only gapfill; 1 verb transform gapfill; 1 with long gaps. These all test students in different ways.
And an additional 5 pdfs based on vocab taken from the text:
- 1 x matching.
- 1 x multi-choice matching.
- 1 x pairs cards.
- 1 x write the French.
- 1 x dominoes.
You'd have to be completely mad to use all of these with your students. Select a few as appropriate. I've included them all to show you the full range of possibilities. (The only activity I haven't included is the multi-choice reading comprehension.)
Here are the 2 TaskMagic3 files, from which all of the pdfs were printed:
- 1 x Mix&Gap file (.mtx3) with 21 interactive activities based on the text.
- 1 x TextMatch file (.mdl3) with 23 interactive games based on the vocab.
(These both require TaskMagic3.)
Here are the pdfs, in no particular order:

This is the TaskMagic3 file:

See the resources below -- mostly pdfs plus a TaskMagic3 Mix&Gap file. They're based on a short report of a match between England and Algeria from the last world cup. The report is in the past. The Find-the-French activity contains lots of key vocab for talking about a match in the past.
It only takes a few minutes to create your own resources like these based on any text.
(The first link below is to the TaskMagic3 Mix&Gap file -- mtx3 -- with access to about 20 interactive activities.)
The worksheets are presented in no particular order:
Some resources below based on this Peppa Pig video in French:
Peppa Pig Cochon Français L'anniversaire De... por Zy-Video
The resources are based on a description of what happens in the story, rather than on the transcript of the video itself (although some bits of text are taken straight from the video).
What age / ability group would be able to cope with this, do you reckon?
There are 9 pdfs and a TaskMagic3 Mix&Gap file (mtx3 - requires TaskMagic3; provides access to 18 interactive activities), all based on the text.
With TaskMagic3 you can create your own resources like these based on any text in a matter of minutes.
The pdf below contains 14 activities based on a short text
demonstrating all parts of "parler" in the present tense. (10 based on
the text and 4 based on the vocab).
They're all based on this text:
It should be suitable for year 7, don't you think?
They're all based on this text:
Je parle français un peu. Je parle français avec mon ami Max. Il parle français très bien. Nous parlons français ensemble.
Ma mère parle français aussi. Elle parle avec ma soeur. Elles parlent français ensemble.
Et toi? Tu parles français? Et tes parents? Ils parlent français? Et toi et tes parents... vous parlez français ensemble?
It should be suitable for year 7, don't you think?
The
pdf worksheets were printed from TaskMagic3. The TaskMagic3 files are
also included, and require TaskMagic3. The mtx3 file is a Mix and Gap file. The mdl3 file is a Text Match file.
Some resources based on a French story in parallel text form,
one of the many fabulous free resources available on frenchteacher.net :
www.frenchteacher.net/free-resources/samples/ -- It really is worth subscribing for full access to 100s (1000s?) of French printable resources for all levels. (I'm sure many of you do already :)
I'd already made TaskMagic resources based on this story a while ago. I've merged these into the pdf "fr_cendrillon_text_merged.pdf" below, which contains 10 separate activities based on the story.

The resources below are based on a short text featuring all parts of aller in the present tense, along with a few modes of transport, within the context of talking about how you go to school.
There are 11 worksheets based on the text itself and 5 based on the vocab. These were printed from TaskMagic3 (Mix&Gap and TextMatch) using http://www.dopdf.com , and combined as 2 pdfs with lots of pages using http://foxyutils.com/mergepdf/
Of course, you would NOT do ALL of these activities, but I've included them all so that you can see what is available.
I've also included the original Mix&Gap (mtx3) and TextMatch (mdl3) files, both of which require TaskMagic3. The images show the variety of activities in each of the TaskMagic3 files.
