It's a French Wordle!
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 12:23PM Bonjour!
I wanted to create a fun activity to review French vocabulary with our children. What better way than with a Wordle! I have made it a personal quest to see how many different ways you can incoporate these wonderful word clouds in the classroom. The lesson can be divided over three days or you can pick and choose the parts that you would like. Have fun!
Lesson (Beginner or Day 1 Activity): Basic colors, objects, and a few animals
Using the wordle above and your favorite box of crayons, match each English word with its French counterpart. Then, shade them the word pairs the same color. As you color the words, practice saying them orally. Most importantly, have fun!
Lesson (Intermediate or Day 2 Activity): Basic colors, objects, and a few animals
1. Using the wordle above, find the color words and shade them to match the color they describe.
2. Read the following sentences and color the words in the wordle accordingly.
- Le crayon est vert.
- Le stylo est bleu.
- Le pupitre est brun.
- Le tableau est noir.
- Le cahier est violet.
- Le livre est orange.
- Le papier est blanc.
- La gomme est rose.
- La chaise est rouge.
- La colombe est blanc.
- Le lion est orange.
- Le gorille est noir.
Lesson (Advanced or Day 3 Activity): Basic colors, objects, and a few animals
Read the following sentences and color the words in the wordle accordingly.
- Le crayon est noir.
- Le stylo est orange.
- Le pupitre est brun.
- Le tableau est rouge.
- Le cahier est violet.
- Le livre est rose.
- Le papier est jaune.
- La gomme est vert.
- La chaise est bleu.
- La colombe est blanc.
- Le lion est orange.
- Le gorille est noir.
As our French vocabulary increases, I plan on taking this idea further. I welcome any input or suggestions and feel free to use yourself. By the way, quench your thirst for ideas at Thirsty Thursday.
Au revoir!
