Peppa Pig on frenchteacher

For me, listening is the number one language learning skill and should be at the heart of everything. I'm a bit of a "comprehensible input" fan and do believe that, in the longer term, for pupils studying a language over at least five years, a big diet of listening input is crucial. So I am always on the look-out for stimulating listening material for frenchteacher.net.

Finding advanced level material is easy, but sources of authentic near beginner and intermediate level French listening are harder to locate.

For intermediate listening, the Peppa Pig videos in French work well and I know that teachers out there have been using my worksheets on these.

Not all the Peppa Pig videos work, though. You have to be selective and choose ones where the range and speed of language are approachable. It helps that many students are already familiar with Peppa Pig, so they should be well disposed to tackling a listening task based on it.

The episodes I have designed worksheets for so far are:

Papa Cochon accroche une photo (home life/DIY)
Papa Cochon fait de l'exercice (health and sport topic)
Une chasse au trésor (home life)
Polly va en vacances (holidays)
La fête de l'école (school)
A la plage (holidays)
Peppa Pig fait les courses (shopping/food)

My worksheets usually involve some vocabulary input, true/false, ticking correct sentences, correcting false sentences etc. They are aimed at very good Y9 to Y11 standard. You can easily edit worksheets as they are in Word.  Here are the exercises I did for La fête de l'école. Apologies for any dodgy formatting.
