Worksheets and a few Powerpoint presentations for Modern Languages.
Mainly Spanish at the moment and mainly Key Stages 3-4, but one or two Key Stage 5 too.
I hope my resources are useful to you. I spend quite a lot of time making them and would like to save other busy teachers time preparing resources - so you can get on with teaching.

For the KS5 'Racismo' sub-topic.
The double-sided worksheet contains two tasks:
1) An introductory gap-fill activity (text summarising what SOS Racismo is and does)
2) An audio-visual activity where students watch a video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi1Xm0sqYr0 ) then answer the 11 accompanying questions.
To complete task 2, pupils must watch a Youtube video of an interview with the president of SOS Racismo, who gives examples of racism, including his own experience, and some measures for combatting it. The video gives various other facts about racism in Spain.
I would recommend that you reduce the speed of the video to 75% by selecting the Settings icon at the bottom of the video (not available on some tablet apps but visible on PCs), then clicking Speed > 0.75
PLEASE CHECK that the video is still available before downloading the worksheet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi1Xm0sqYr0
This sheet will probably take up most of the lesson by the time you have watched the video twice (pausing it to give students a chance to write), gone through the answers and discussed the issues raised. Alternatively, it could be set as a homework.

Double-sided worksheet to prepare GCSE students to build up vocabulary to write about the kind of holiday they usually go on and why (=giving and justifying opinions).
Side 1: They complete some model sentences, then fill in some opinions with Me gusta/Me interesa (to practise gusta/gustan)
Side 2: They read three model paragraphs about preferred holidays and then Find the Spanish for a number of useful phrases in the texts. They then use all of the worksheet to help them translate 6 sentences into Spanish, e.g. I love beach holidays because I think that they are relaxing and I like watersports.
This worksheet would also be suitable for some KS3 classes.

Lesson on saying what you’ve done recently to be healthy.
I did this toward the end of the Healthy Living topic, once key vocab on exercise and healthy eating had been covered, and once we had re-capped the Perfect Tense (with avoir)
Starter : match the French time phrases to the English
**Gap-fill activity: ** for mini-whiteboards and/or books: fill in the correct verb form or past participle
Trapdoor game: Students love this. Pupils take turns to read through the passage with a partner, choosing options each time from the list. Their partner must read it back from memory; if they go wrong they have to go back to the start. Then swap roles. I model this first so pupils have to listen then I choose one to read back what I said.
Then, to make it harder, there is a version with some words and letters taken away, so pupils are not just reading from the screen but have to remember the phrases.
Presentation and worksheet to introduce and practise demonstrative adjectives and pronouns (lequel, celui-ci, etc). Uses clothes vocabulary/shopping context generally (a bit of food vocab too, to remind students that grammar is applicable in multiple contexts)
Probably best after some work/revision on clothes has been done first.
Also suitable for revision of this grammar point at A-Level.
