I'm a Languages teacher with a passion for creating new resources which will help students to become enthusiastic and passionate language learners. I like to use authentic resources as much as possible and am a great believer in the positive impact of challenge work for more able students.

Y7 Term 1 settling acitivities

I like to have one of these settling activities on the board as the students come into the classroom. It's part of their routine that they start on the settling activity as soon as they've sat down and copied the date and title. I find that it makes a calm start to the lesson and in addition it's an excellent opportunity to cover vocab or a grammar point that students haven't seen for some time. These are aimed at Y7 in their first term of French so the main aim is to improve their cultural knowledge. It's important that students should be able to complete the activities independently (whilst I do the register, etc) so the activities require little knowledge of French language. Any comprehension activities rely mainly on cognates.

Settling resources - memes and cartoons

A selection of 17 settling activities based on authentic resources. An easy method of injecting a little humour into lessons whilst still ensuring a calm start to the lesson. I find that a settling activity on the board as students enter the classroom is helpful in challenging them from the first minute. All of the cartoon-based settling activities are intended to be used as comprehension exercises.

Y7 School and routine speaking plenaries - Battleships

(0)
An excellent way to get students giving spontaneous spoken phrases at the end of a lesson. To uncover a cell (to find out if there's a battleship hiding) students have to give a phrase that includes a phrase from the top of the screen and one from the left of the screen. When they've said the phrase you click on the blue rectangle to show whether there's a battleship beneath it or not. I've found this works particularly well with boys' classes. This resource is made using Active Inspire software, compatible with Promethean Interactive Whiteboards.
Year 7 speaking dominoes Terms 1 and 2

Year 7 speaking dominoes Terms 1 and 2

(0)
A useful resource to get students practising saying the phrases they've learned in their first term of French. Contains days, months, numbers, greetings and phrases students should use in class to ask permission to do something. Useful for vocab recap too. Give one domino to each student (if there are more dominoes than students give more able students two dominoes). The students with the domino that starts with 'Début' begins by saying the French phrase. The student with the matching phrase in English says it and then the French phrase that forms the other side of their domino. Keep going until the class reaches the final domino. To introduce a competitive element challenge students to get through the whole domino set in less than 2 minutes. The dominoes last longer if laminated before being used!

Speaking board games Y8 Hobbies / Food and drink

A useful resource for getting students to speak spontaneously. In small groups (4 players) students roll a dice and move their counters to the relevant spot on the board. They have to say the phrase in French shown on the square they've landed on. If they can't say it they go back to their original square. In my experience students really enjoy this opportunity to use spoken French in a small group, rather than in front of the class. As the teacher I can move around the groups checking what the students are saying. To help them last longer we laminate the boards. Counters and dice are required too, but can be bought very cheaply.

Food Challenge Tasks

Food Challenge Tasks

(0)
A selection of 'Challenge Tasks' on the topic of food. These are based on authentic French resources (mainly infographs found on Pinterest) with comprehension questions added. I put these up on my 'Challenge Wall' in the classroom for the term and direct any students to them who finish their work early. To save photocopying costs I encourage students not to write on the sheets and to put them back on the wall when they're finished. I find that students get a huge sense of achievement from knowing that they are reading and understanding real French literature! As an extra incentive to try more difficult work I offer 'challenge stars' in return for tackling these tricky tasks. These are converted periodically into merits.

Year 7 settling activities

Year 7 settling activities

5 Resources
This bundle comprises 88 settling activities suitable for Year 7 in their first year of French. Several are based on cognates and cultural information in order that they are accessible by students who have almost no knowledge of French language. I find that a settling activity on the board as the class comes in leads to a calm and quiet start to the lesson, allowing students to be challenged from the first moment. Settling activities are also useful for revising vocab or grammar points that students wouldn't otherwise see very frequently.
