TPT, formerly Teachers Pay Teachers, is the "largest marketplace for PreK-12 resources, powered by a community of educators." I don't actually have one single favorite curriculum to recommend but TPT is definitely my favorite place to get French resources! If you've used it then you know what I mean and if you haven't used it yet then you're in for a treat...
I've spent hundreds of hours on TPT and found some amazing resources I'm excited to share with you! I didn't make these resources and I don't get anything for recommending them, other than the joy of helping others teach their kids French. So be sure to look for more posts with a TPT tag.
The best part about TPT is their SEARCH feature. Under Subject choose "World Languages" and then "French." You can also search by grade or subject. You can filter by price to look at free or paid resources. You can even use more than one search filter at a time. And if your child is in a "favorite" phase, anything from pirates to penguins to pineapples, you can search for resources specifically designed with those themes.
TPT Sales
TPT runs 2-Day Sales several times a year when the whole site is 5% off and most stores are an additional 20% off (25% total), so I usually have a Wishlist and wait to buy things until then:
* February - New Year
* May - Teacher Appreciation
* June/July - Summer
* Aug/Sept - Back to School
* November - Cyber Monday
However my Favorite TPT Sales are when several times a year for 2-3 days French Sellers discount 2 resources/day to $1-2:
* Winter Deals - mid-Jan
* Spring Fling - mid-April
* Franco Promo - mid-July
* Fall Fest - mid-Oct
TPT Tips
* Once I find a resource I like I visit that sellers' page to check out their other work. Most sellers have several Free Samples of their work. I also look at their bestselling paid products
* You can Follow your favorite sellers to get messages about sales or new products. Often new resources are 50% for the first 24 hours

* Purchase resources at a discount in a Bundle (pro tip: if you buy an individual resource first and later buy a bundle it is included in, you can email TPT to get a refund for the original purchase)
* Growing Bundles are an especially great deal because once you buy it you get any additional resources the seller adds to it for free
* Leave Reviews of your purchases to earn store credit. You earn 1 credit for every $1 spent. Each credit is worth 5 cents, so every 2o credits earned equals $1 to apply to future TPT purchases
