Just something to introduce these three to Year 10...please rate it. It's a work in progress, I will be editing it and updating it as I work through these lessons with my class.Students enjoyed marking on the effects on the body outline. I have added some comments in the notes section of the powerpoint.
I've seen some other dictionary skills resources and I thought I would add my own slant. I've given examples in French/German/Spanish where possible. This could be used at the start of the GCSE course or as a quick Review at the start of Year 11.
Please leave any feedback - it would be appreciated!
I’ve updated my World Cup resources for 2026 (French and German also available).
Here are a series of lessons on this theme.
L1 – countries participating, past winner, flags
L2 – Reading about country + players
L3 – describing or designing your own kit
L4 – body parts / sports injuries
L5 – describing outcomes of games / who will win / visit to a game. Sentence building
L6 – Speaking GCSE Style activities - based around Edexcel exam board requirements but can be adapted (photo description / read aloud / role play)
Plus a glossary/knowledge organiser of key vocab, which could be printed off to support if you are using all/nearly all of these lessons.
8 Rounds of Quiz joy updated for 2026. There are aspects of language and culture in the rounds, which can, depending on your class, become talking points. Use of a dictionary (F/G/S) could be recommended depending on what your group is like!
R1 - European Landmarks
R2 - European Festivals
R3 - Bad translation
R4 - Spot the difference
R5 - Who are ya? (what are the greetings?)
R6 - Music round (Disney songs in different languages)
R7 - Code break (would advise printing off the questions to support weaker students)
R8 - Famous faces

A couple of powerpoints I have made for the topic of school linked with the Edexcel Spanish textbook (higher). I couldn't really find much (anything?) on TES for these topics in the book. I hope you find them useful.
Having read a thread about songs to describe family members. I decided I'd record myself in advance of a lesson so that I didn't forget the words!!!!! The tune is 'Sur le pont d&'Avignon'.
3 lessons I’ve created linked to inclusion / equality
They include:
Reading comprehension - TV presenter with Down Syndrome
Read aloud tasks (based around Edexcel)
Bingo games with key vocabulary
Inclusive language for LGBT etc.
This is to practise typical tasks from the role play part of the new (2026) Edexcel Role plays - GCSE German
Use it in slideshow mode, click a number between 1 and 65.
It gives you a task (I’ve gone through the tasks in the specimen papers across F/G/S)…with images to give students ideas.
Students could do this on w/boards If you click to advance the slide, it will give you a suggested answer. Students could also try to translate it. Or if they’re stuck for ideas, show them the suggested answer.
Click the German flag to go back to the number page.
A Powerpoint based on the content of Listos 2 (v and r) section in Modulo 2 'Que aproveche'. To be used in conjunction with the book (for Listening activities).
Vocabulary Quiz at end.
'Que aproveche 2' is the same but with a few extra slides I have added.
Equality lesson. Discussing how to make the world more inclusive for those with disabilities.
Including the following:
Photo activity, Spanish sign language, Reading comprehension about an initiative for travellers, explanation (in simple terms) about using subjunctive, read aloud task
Following mock speaking exams, I have created some starters (enough for about 50 lessons?) based on practising role plays, photos and verbs.
Photos - when viewing in slideshow mode, possible follow up questions appear by click (Foundation and Higher).
Role plays - I have taken and adapted from the Edexcel spec.
One Minute Verbs - has a timer in slideshow mode, students to figure out as many of the 5 verbs as possible.
A stand-alone lesson linked to gender/sexuality/rights in Spanish.
How the Spanish language has adapted to be more inclusive. With activities such as spotting gender neutral vocabulary in a fake social media account.
Plus a translation activity (Sp-Eng & Eng-Sp) as well as a read-aloud.
With translation activities and a read aloud.
I don’t have many resources to teach this topic so hope this covers it.
How the French language has adapted to be more inclusive. With activities such as spotting gender neutral vocabulary in a fake social media account. Plus a translation activity (Fr-Eng & Eng-Fr) as well as a read-aloud.
A dominoes game for students - each student has a card with an answer and question on it. Number 1 starts, reads his/her question. The rest of the class look to see if theirs is the right answer. Could be used as a starter.

Dealing with the unpredictable elements of the B and C role play (Edexcel). I’ve taken the context and the unpredictable tasks from one year (2004) and put them onto one powerpoint. I will be using this with mini white boards - students should write their responses as quickly as possible on the boards.
To use with Year 9, covering... whether you get pocket money, who from and whether it's sufficient. I was going to make the starter activity a revision of numbers but haven't put it on there (yet). An introduction of basic vocab!
