Are sticker cards masculine or feminine?
I had a brainwave* and was using the sticker cards to teach colours
and didn't know if I should be saying the masc or fem colours.

I sat on a chair full of glitter actually.

It helps having a sparkly bum.

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

A letter in todays "Press", from 'Confused' wants to know
what day it is; as they are not sure if this is -
 Firework Fortnight,
  Remembrance Month,
or Christmas Quarter ?

It's the day after 4-10-09, which is what I wrote on the board
yesterday and nobody noticed until the afternoon.

what is a "sticker" card ? just a card made of cardboard?

si c'est bien ça : *une* carte.
if it is small and you can stick it on paper : *un* autocollant.
About 90% of the words ending with an "e" are feminine... but 90% only!

Why?  French is very relaxing after a while.

It's a piece of card that you can stick about 50 small reward stickers
onto.

>si c'est bien ça : *une* carte.

I suppose that's the one.
Ta.

A brain*wave*?? I know what a brainstorm is, but a brainwave must more 
gentle, so no need to sit.

Next question: what is French for sticker - i.e. the bits the kids
stick onto the cards?

No amount of planning will ever replace dumb luck.

If the stickers can be stuck anywhere : des autocollants. C'est masculin (un 
autocollant).

If the stickers are to be stuck on specific places : des vignettes. C'est 
féminin  (une vignette).

If at first you don't succeed, look in the bin for the instructions.
