A Quebec French expressions word search full of words heard in kitchens, schoolyards and corner stores across the province, but rarely seen written down.

Quebec French has a vocabulary of its own: some words come from the settlers' old dialects, others from Indigenous languages or English, and each says something about daily life here. You will find clothing, food, wild berries, and ways to describe the cold, the fading light at the end of the day, or a friend who is being a pest. Learners of French are often surprised that a Parisian textbook never mentioned them.

This page has three levels, easy, medium and hard, with grids from 8×8 to 20×20. Easy reads left to right and top to bottom, medium adds diagonals, and hard allows backwards words in all eight directions. Every grid is generated, then checked automatically by software, so each word is placed exactly once with no accidental words in the filler.

The words in this theme

With the French translation, or a short definition: handy for French immersion or a bilingual class.

Suggested school level

Grades 6-12 (ages 11-18), including French learners: easy 10×10; medium suits teens.

Classroom activity idea

After the grid, each student picks three expressions and writes a sentence using each one correctly. Read the sentences aloud and let the class vote on whether someone from France would understand them. It leads naturally to a short talk about everyday French versus classroom French.

Classroom use is allowed: print as many copies as your students need, free of charge, with no sign-up.

Start with short, distinctive words such as TUQUE or PANTOUTE, then use them as landmarks to find the longer ones nearby.
