Use this PowerPoint to introduce and explore the logic of German numbers between 21 and 99.

Use this PowerPoint to explain the pure logic of higher German numbers - with animation!

This can be used for any language. The example in the PowerPoint is in English, so it can be easily adapted to your needs. Pupils work in pairs to produce a paragraph on any given topic. They take it in turns to roll the dice. The phrase corresponding to their number is the one they have to use. When they’ve completed it, they could then learn it. Good practice for learning to learn! They must also check that the phrase makes sense. If it doesn’t (incorrect tense, etc.), they must roll again. Another idea is for pupils to translate their finished paragraph.

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?"

Pupils work in pairs to play the game. It is designed to encourage spoken skills. They throw the dice and work their way around the board, asking each other questions.

Use this activity as a plenary after introducing and practising the weather in German. Instructions are on the second page.

Use this resource to teach pupils how to say how long they've known someone. The PowerPoint looks specifically at the use of 'depuis'.

This PowerPoint introduces the time in German, starting with a recap of the analogue time in English! At the end of the PowerPoint, pupils say the time out loud when they see it on the board.

Pupils each have a copy of the Word document (bingo grid). Either allow pupils to listen once or twice to fill in the words they hear and understand into any of the squares (there is no need at all to complete the grid). Partners check they have written the target language and English correctly in each square. Then, using the PowerPoint, reveal one square at a time. Pupils mark each other's grids. Whatever score is under each square is what that pupil gets for each grid they've filled in correctly. The winner is the pupil of the pair who has the highest score.

A very brief but concise display to serve as a reminder to pupils about forming the near future and perfect tenses in French.

Teach pupils the simple rule of using two verbs together in French. The examples given in the PowerPoint are: j'aime je préfère je peux je veux je dois je vais je voudrais ...plus the infinitive.

Use this to practise transcription in French. Pupils work in pairs - A and B. There is a different sheet for each person. Start with pupil A - they read the text you've put into the box to their partner who then transcribes it onto their own sheet in the relevant box. Then swap roles. They must then peer assess what they have written and tally the number of errors made in the relevant section. This is great for transcription, listening and pronunciation skills.

This is the second part of my 'perfect tense' PowerPoints (following 'The perfect tense with avoir'.

A PowerPoint to introduce directions in German. Each slide follows a moving arrow with the directions, leading to the different places on the map of 'Rotstadt'.

Following the popularity of Blockbusters resources, here is the template I use in my lessons. Add the first letters of words in a phrase, images or words to the ‘Add text, initials or picture here’ on the yellow hexagons. In teams (red and blue), pupils aim to make a continuous line of their colour horizontally. This can be as long or as short as they want, as long as it’s continuous. The other team will aim to block them. When they have chosen a yellow hexagon and have answered correctly, click on that hexagon (on your computer). Then click on the relevant team colour to make it change to either blue or red. Instructions are in the notes section of the PowerPoint.
