Printable Banner: "Bienvenue à la classe de français" ~ Welcome to French Class ~ Door Display, Decoration ~ Bulletin Board ~ Back to School

Welcome your students to your French classroom with this printable banner reading "Bienvenue à la classe de fançais"--welcome to French class. This instant download includes four sizes; use it to decorate your door, a bulletin board or wall, your desk, the area above your white board. The banner is made up of alternating deep blue and red flags with light cream-colored text. Six different images representing French-speaking countries and regions are also included, and the order of the flags and names of the images are clearly labeled to keep everything organized. 

HOW TO USE

After purchase, download and open the zipped .png file. Choose the size of banner you prefer, and choose whether or not you want the dots that indicate where to punch holes (four sizes and versions with and without a hole punch guide are included). Print and cut out the images; you might wish to laminate the flags. From there, you can display the banner by taping, stapling, or pinning the individual flags to the wall or a bulletin board; you can punch holes and string the flags on a ribbon; or you can use clothespins to hang the flags.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

This item is an instant download, and comes as a zipped file with .png images, a format I chose because they offer excellent image quality and perfect colors. They are designed to print on 8.5" x 11" paper or cardstock; the sizes described above are when the images are printed on this size paper at 100%. 

Please note, this purchase is for a digital download only, and does not include any printed materials, or any accessories like ribbon. The files are not editable. Variation in the colors of the posters may occur, though this has to do with the printer you use to print them.
