6th Grade Life Skills Games

Middle schoolers dive into reading, writing, and speaking, culminating in the exciting challenge of designing their own hair style, poster and scrapbook. Watch language skills soar in this engaging, hands-on experience!

This MEGA 60-page document contains everything you could possibly need to comfortably, confidently (and with as little effort as humanely possible) lead a long-term unit with your low-vocabulary middle-schoolers needing a high interest BOOST.

Tired of finding documents that are too advanced for your Core French/FSL kids or babyish and full of cartoon-y, childish clipart? This frustration is what gave me an epiphany 3 short years ago and what gave life to my store! Are you, too, losing the buy-in before you even JUMP in? Created with middle school in mind, this unit of activities, games, vocabulary and content, communication prompts, lesson plans, worksheets and templates will get your kids saying "Je me fais couper les cheveux tous les six semaines!" "Mes cheveux sont bouclés et châtains" and "À quelle fréquence laves-tu les cheveux?" in two shakes of a lamb's tail!

My Core French products are high engagement, low-level. This 60-page document has everything you need to effectively engage your students to build the vocabulary needed to become confident enough to create something that will WOW you!

• A 24-page Slide Deck with:

• Messages du jour
