Est-ce que je peux... ? / Puis-je... ? French Classroom Phrases Bulletin Board & Handout

Spend less time hearing, “How do I say this in French?” and more time hearing your students confidently speak French!

This colourful, functional bulletin board provides the visual support students need to make common classroom requests using:

• Est-ce que je peux… ?

• Puis-je… ?

Doubling as an oral communication anchor chart and visual scaffold, the illustrated speech bubbles help students communicate their needs, form complete questions, and speak French more independently. Students can quickly locate phrases for sharpening a pencil, filling a water bottle, working with a partner, using technology, asking for help and more!

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

• 43 French classroom request prompts

• 8 colour-coded categories

• 8 blank speech bubbles (one in each colour) to personalize with your own requests

• Student reference handouts featuring all 43 classroom requests

• 2 student handout heading options: « Est-ce que je peux… ? » and « Puis-je… ? »

• Colour and black-and-white version of each handout

The coordinating student handouts allow students to keep these useful phrases right at their fingertips in their duotangs. They are especially helpful for French teachers without their own classroom, teachers who travel from room to room or students who benefit from having an individual visual reference at their desks.

THE EIGHT CATEGORIES:

• les toilettes et l’hygiène
• l’eau et la collation
• les déplacements dans l’école
• le matériel scolaire
• l’aide et l’apprentissage
• la technologie
• le travail en classe
• le confort et le bien-être

Display all 43 speech bubbles or select the ones that best suit your students and classroom routines. Choose your preferred question structure, then reinforce the same vocabulary using the coordinating student handouts.

THIS RESOURCE IS PERFECT FOR:

• Core French and French Immersion classrooms

• Travelling French teachers without their own classroom

• Back-to-school classroom décor

• Supporting daily routines and classroom management

• Providing visual scaffolding and picture cues

• Encouraging complete French sentences

• Building student confidence and independence

This resource is in French and is a non-editable PDF.

For best results, print the bulletin board pieces in colour, cut them out, and laminate them for durability. To make the bulletin board letters smaller, simply adjust the scale in your printer settings before printing. Student handouts can be printed in colour or black-and-white.

Create a practical French classroom display - and an individual student reference - that can be used all year long!
