Bring French house vocabulary to life with ten engaging lessons!
This French House and Rooms Unit for Years 3–4 includes sequenced lesson plans, PowerPoint slides, printable worksheets, games and assessment. Designed to support the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0: French, it takes students from naming household items to writing and sharing simple descriptions of their own house.
Save planning time with clear teacher instructions and connected activities. Students practise familiar language through a board game, treasure hunt, bingo, room-design activities and a final lift-the-flap house project.

What will students learn?
Students explore French vocabulary for furniture, kitchen utensils and bathroom items, alongside four room names: le salon (living room), la cuisine (kitchen), la chambre (bedroom) and la salle de bains (bathroom).
They build sentences using:
-
C’est un … / C’est une … — This is a …
-
Il y a … / Il n’y a pas de … — There is … / There isn’t …
-
Dans …, il y a … — In … there is …
-
Sur, sous and à côté de — On, under and beside
Picture word banks, repeated vocabulary practice and modelled sentences support students as they develop their French listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Teacher guidance supports the use of articles, grammatical gender and simple sentence structures.
A practical unit for primary French lessons, with language learning, cultural connections and a creative final task.
