Use this PowerPoint to introduce the comparative and superlative in French. There are very clear, visual examples, along with step-by-step instructions.
Use this PowerPoint to introduce both simple opinion phrases and school subjects.
It starts by getting pupils to work out where the opinion phrases are and which words are school subjects, After introducing the school subjects, pupils show understanding using 'hands up' and then by playing 'Follemathiques', giving their opinions about different subjects.
Instructions are given in the PowerPoint.
Use this PowerPoint to introduce a few famous French people in history.
There is brief information about all in French, which can then be translated by students into English.
This is a bit of fun that the kids love! Use when teaching about French cognates and near-cognates. A great team game for a whole class activity.
Instructions are on the first few slides.
This has proved so popular with all of my classes!
In teams (blue & red), pupils answer a question and choose a square from the opponents’ grid. Their opponents then get that score. They are allowed to steal one score only from their opponents throughout the game. An ‘X’ is a wipeout and wipes the opponents’ score (which can be a good thing if their score is negative!).
If they cannot answer or give an incorrect answer, the opposite team answer and choose to swap the number or keep it.
This can be used with any subject and any vocab/topic! Make it up on the spot! There are three different boards, so pupils are unlikely to memorise the scores.
A PowerPoint to introduce directions in French.
Each slide follows a moving arrow with the directions, leading to the different places on the map of 'Fausseville'.
This PowerPoint uses both analogue and digital to introduce and practise the time in French.
Assuming some weaker pupils may not be sure of telling the time, this is introduced/practised in English first, before moving on to the French.
At the end, pupils shout out the time in French when it appears on the board.
This can be used in any language (or subject!).
Type your clues into the ‘Clue’ boxes.
Pupils work in two teams (red and blue) and their objective is to get 4 (or 3, if you prefer) of their coloured rectangles in a row for a point. This can be vertically, horizontally or diagonally. I allow 5 in a row to count as 2 points.
In presentation mode, click on the relevant coloured circle to change the colour of the rectangle.
Although this is designed to suit the French listening and reading exams, it can easily be adapted to suit other languages.
This presentation goes through tips and tricks for both preparation for and use in the GCSE listening and reading exams.
Instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.
There are also lists of prefixes and suffixes, negative forms, 'pesky little words' that catch you out and synonyms and antonyms.
Along with this PPT you will find a RAG vocab spreadsheet, arranged by topic area, for students to use.
There are also past paper questions from AQA, arranged by topic area. These are a free addition.
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'.
Use this PowerPoint to introduce the rooms of the house in French. The first two slides are plans of the ground floor and the first floor. Click on each room to take you to the words to introduce to the students. Click on the red arrow to return to the plan.
When the introduction of the vocabulary is complete, there is a '4 in a row' game to practise the words.
