Activity #1

Some foods have a handy word to say how much of it you want, for example, a slice of pizza, or a spoonful of sugar, a glass of water. Here is how to say those in French.

In the right-hand column, identify foods around the house that you would use in each case. You can print out this page to complete this table or copy and paste it into a Google Doc.

Une tranche de … A slice of pizza
Une cuillère á soupe de … A spoon
Une cuillère á café de … A spoon
Un verre de … A glass cup.
Une bouteille de …
Un morceau de … Picture of bread cut into pieces.
Une part de … A slice of cake.

Activity #2

In French, there are other handy words that are used to describe amounts or quantities for food.

  • un kilo de …
  • 200 grammes de …
  • deux tranches de …
  • 6 pots de …
  • une bouteille de …
  • un tube de …
  • un paquet de …

To create a sentence you might say “Je veux une bouteille d’eau” or “Je veux deux tranches de pizza.”

Use each of these handy expressions and create a sentence for each using the sentence starter “Je veux…”

You can also create a mini booklet of the sentence created with an image/picture. You could do this on the computer application or draw in a booklet with pictures cut out from magazines.

Have some fun with it!
