Suitable for French beginners, a sheet which supports a simple interview in pairwork. Pupils ask each other questions & note the answers. This sheet contains 2 versions: the first is for more independent workers and has an extension task to write up what they have found. The second contains more support with structured questions and answers. Both versions have slightly different questions, so feel free to choose which you prefer and adapt to suit your purpose.
An activity for pupils to practise counting items to two and three, easily adapted for other numbers if you choose. Pupils put the correct number of spots on the ladybird pictures: they can either stick stickers, draw spots, use stampers, or whatever you choose. The sheet has six pictures for the number 2 and a further six for the number 3. It could be laminated and used with a whiteboard pen over and over. Simple uncluttered design makes this suitable for children with autism.
A set of tasks suitable for pupils beginning to understand how a number line works. One task shows a 0-20 number line and has space to write a number sentence below (addition, but can be adapted for subtraction). This task is worth laminating and then can be used over and over with a whiteboard pen. The other two tasks require pupils to cut out boxes containing shapes, then stick them to the correct place on the number line (0-10). The easier version has arrows to help; the harder version has just a choice of empty boxes. These two sheets have two different questions on each sheet.
A worksheet with five different sets of patterns for pupils to continue, using simple 2D geometric shapes. Simple uncluttered presentation, suitable for children with autism. Sheets can be cut into five strips and presented separately.
A set of cards for pupils to practise counting up to six. Each card has a printed number and corresponding amount of pictures of clothes pegs. Pupils attach the clothes pegs to the card, one to each picture. Clear and simple graphics, suitable for children with autism.
A cutting and sticking activity for pupils to practice matching pairs of 2D shapes or different sized sets of marbles. Each sheet has a set of six pictures to cut out, then pupils stick these pictures next to each corresponding picture above. You can easily adapt these sheets to make them harder by making the pictures more similar. Alternatively make them easier by removing one row or column of pictures. Simple uncluttered design makes these suitable for children with autism.
This straightforward task card helps a pupil to understand when a task is complete. Write their name and what the task is on the sheet, then tick a box when each part is completed. This sheet shows 10 boxes to tick, but just cut off the second row if you want 5, or adapt it yourself for any other number. I have used this with tasks such as "Count out the right number of tokens" - I say "three", pupil counts out 3 tokens, then I tick the first box, and so on. Useful with children with autism, who sometimes struggle to understand when a task is complete. Suitable for laminating and use a whiteboard pen.
A long list (41!) of short sentences in English for pupils to translate into French. Equally you could switch the instructions and ask pupils to translate the other way. Sentences are mostly transactional speech, the kinds of phrases needed in a role play. Answers are provided but jumbled up - this could also be used as a reading matching task, or as speaking/listening pairwork.
