It’s a great opportunity to talk about a different culture and, of course, offer your students a different theme and context to practice French. Check out this list of French Saint Patrick’s Day FREE Resources you can download and use right now!
From word wall cards to writing tasks to labelling activities, I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll like!
French Saint Patrick’s Day FREE Resources
I’ve selected four resources created by my fellow teacher-authors at TpT.
- French Buzz has a set of 28 word wall cards so you can teach/review vocabulary related to “la Saint-Patrick”.
- Peg Swift wants your students to practice some writing by filling out a poster in response to some prompts.
- If you’d looking for a bulletin board idea that is print-and-go, check out this shamrock writing reflection activity by The French Nook
In addition to the freebies above, I’ve got a couple of my own printable resources to share, and a Slideshare as well.
- Get your students working on their adjectives and descriptive texts. Have them come up with the adjectives they can use, then have them use those adjectives in a short text of their own. Use the graphic organizer and writing template I shared in this post (click on the image below to check out the blog post).
- If you’d like your kiddos to work on their vocabulary, but they are not ready to write full paragraphs and texts, or you want a quick hands-on activity, check out the labelling activity I share in this post (click on the image below to check out the blog post).
- To introduce the topic of Saint Patrick’s Day, use the Slideshare below to talk about it:
