A GCSE French reading and vocabulary worksheet on Christmas traditions and festive food in France.

A refined 2-page worksheet that revisits and expands my earlier free Christmas activity.
It helps GCSE French students explore les repas et traditions de Noël through authentic reading, vocabulary and comprehension tasks – ideal for classwork, revision or festive homework.
(AQA Theme 2 – Customs, festivals and celebrations)

• Reading text on Christmas traditions in France with comprehension questions
• Vocabulary and translation tasks on key festive language
• Grammar focus on ce qui me plaît le plus
• Photo card description prompt
• 90-word writing task with support phrases and Higher-tier extensions
• Full answer sheet with model responses for Foundation and Higher

Designed for GCSE French – Foundation to Foundation–Higher crossover, with gradual cognitive progression and embedded Higher-tier structures for stretch and modelling.

Available in PDF and editable PPTX, in both colour and black-and-white versions.

This resource combines Christmas cheer with meaningful exam-style practice to help students build confidence across all three time frames.

I hope you find it useful.
