Whole-class activity, which could become pairwork. Instead of saying, for example, “2 plus 3”, you say, “une robe plus des chaussures”. Students’ answers would then be “une veste”, instead of “5”. Make the calculation as complicated as you like!

German numbers curtains!

Pupils are shown a set of numbers for ten seconds at a time, before the curtains automatically close. No writing allowed! They then must say the numbers they remember in German. Write them on the board so they can be checked.

Pupils stick this sheet into their books at the start of the year. The idea is that they, another pupil or you sign a brick in the wall whenever they use a spontaneous phrase in French. At the end of every other row, give a reward of some sort.

The traditional Os & Xs game for pairwork. You could either fill in the squares for the pupils, or they could do it themselves. Phrases in French to use when playing are at the bottom of the sheet, along with the instructions.

Instead of saying “2 plus 3”, the teacher says “la grenouille plus le poisson”. Pupils reply with “le chien”. Make the sums as easy or as difficult as you like. If you use longer sums, remember to write it down as you go along and tell the pupils to do the same.
