Back to School French Unit Ideas

What will you be using as an introductory unit for the school year? Many teachers use a Tour de France unit as a springboard into French learning for the school year. Here are some Tour de France resources that highlight the 2026 Tour de France cycling race. All of these are updated each school year to keep the work current.  

 

 

Click on each of the images in order to get more information about each resource.  

 

Your students will enjoy these activities AND learn about the most famous world cycling race in France.

 

Enjoy!

End of the Year French Activities

The end of the school year is always a whirlwind and I know teachers are scrambling to stay afloat when year end marks and admin requirements keep knocking at the door!

Here are some resources that are easy to leave for a substitute teacher or if you need a quick lesson for your students to be immersed in:

1. A bundle of passé composé activities - great for end of the year review

 

2. A lighter launch into l’été with these activities for vocabulary building

 

3. A variety of country webquests focussing on French speaking countries for research and internet skills. English and French webquests are included to help with a variety of grade levels

 

Bonne journée! I hope these will help you out!
