This is designed to be a lesson for early learners, introducing the idea of speaking spontaneously in French. It starts with the sounds of French (e.g. 'oi', 'é'). There's then a Kim's Game with French words that pupils have to work out the pronunciation of, using the sound-spelling rules. Next is a Connect 4-style game, using more words that pupils have to work out how to pronounce. Then the PowerPoint goes through some spontaneous phrases to be used in lessons, ending with a dictionary task - "Qu-est-ce que c'est?"

This is a starter activity, following work on tenses and time phrases. Pupils point forwards, etc. to show they know the tense/time phrase shown. In later examples, the clues are highlighted ('dernier', the accent on the last 'e', etc.). Instructions are in the PowerPoint.
