French Sports Program Reading Comprehension Worksheet
This beginner French worksheet gives learners a real-life reading task: understanding a weekly sports program. They look through the table to find activities, days, times, locations and instructors, then write short answers in French.
The page is simple to use, but it asks students to do something genuinely useful: scan a document and pick out the exact information they need.
What students read
The central document is a weekly timetable for adult and children’s sports classes. Each row gives the day, time, activity, room or outdoor location, and the instructor’s name.
- Activities: Pilates, Qi gong, stretching, Zumba, gentle gym, strength training, Nordic walking and gymnastics.
- Practical details: weekdays, precise times, indoor or outdoor locations, and instructors.
- Children’s program: Zumba and gymnastics classes with age information.
What students do
After reading the schedule, learners answer four open questions. They identify Tuesday’s activities, find the classes available to children, locate every Pilates session and list the instructors.
Because the answers are not multiple choice, students also practise writing short, clear French sentences from information found in a table.

Frequently asked questions
What level is this French worksheet?
It is designed for A1 beginners. Learners should already recognise the days of the week and basic times.
Is there a multiple-choice exercise?
No. The four questions are open-ended, so students must find the information and write their own short answers.
Can I edit the sports program?
Yes. Premium members receive the DOCX file and can change the timetable, vocabulary or questions.
Is this suitable for adults?
Yes. The realistic timetable and practical reading task work especially well with teenage and adult beginners, but older children can also use it.
