A series of resources in German to use with students linked to the 2026 Football World Cup (French & Spanish also available). Resources include whole class, small group/pair and individual activities. Each resource is designed to be used as a standalone resource, but could also be used as part of a series of lessons. I have included resources on football vocabulary and terminology, countries participating in the World Cup, languages, flags, the host cities and stadiums, players, an imaginary match report and general World Cup information and quizzes. There are opportunities here for the students to get some dictionary practice, do independent research and to do project work.

A PowerPoint + accompanying sheet to introduce and practise numbers in French. Includes phonics practice + dictionary skills practice.

A series of resources to use at the start of students’ French learning journey. Resources include a starter/ice breaker activity in which you can demonstrate lots of French words which students will be able to recognise, regardless of whether they have ever doe any French before or not. The second PowerPoint introduces basic phrases (greetings, giving your name & saying how you are) to enable students to quickly build to understanding and conducting a simple conversation in French.

A good activity to use at the very start of students’ French learning journey. This resource is designed to show students just how many words in French are easy to recognise/work out, prompting a discussion about cognates and the reasons for so many similarities between French & English.

A resource to introduce and practise greetings in French, building up to a simple dialogue in French.

A PowerPoint giving key information about the Tour de France. Accompanying resources are designed to reinforce students’ understanding of this iconic French sporting event and introduce them to key vocabulary associated with this topic.

Mind maps covering various topics. Can be printed and used by students for independent vocabulary revision.

A resource booklet for use at KS3. Contains a phonics grid, key vocabulary by topic, high frequency vocabulary and phrases, some basic grammar notes and space for students to add their own vocabulary. The booklet is designed to encourage independent learning and includes a contents page so that students can easily find the vocabulary they need. We print this booklet A5 size with a coloured front cover so that we can refer to it throughout the course. You could adapt this so that students add their own translations.

This resource bank includes a revision programme, designed to encourage independent weekly revision broken down into key topics/subtopics. The revision programme is designed using the principal of interleaving and can be adapted as appropriate. The revision guide/workbook referred to is the Pearsons one, but this could easily be changed to reflect the page numbers in other revision guides. The programme makes reference to some other resources, which are attached here (again, easily adapted) + to a speaking & writing questions booklet, which is for sale elsewhere on my shop.

These resources include a spreadsheet for trial exam results which will calculate grades for individual papers + overall grades at both Foundation & Higher Tier. Because there are no grade boundaries for the new exam, I have decided to use the last lot of grade boundaries as at least a starting point- the last lot of grade boundaries were back to where they should be, as the previous few years had adjustments for COVID and also to address the harsh marking for MFL. I have therefore created the spreadsheet using the Edexcel 2025 grade boundaries from the old exam, scaled to match the marks for each component for the new GCSE. In future years, you just need to change the marks to grades on the second sheet of the spreadsheet (overall marks to grades + individual components). There are also tick sheet marksheets for the new writing exams to hopefully speed up marking and see where students are gaining/dropping marks + some feedback/target sheets for students to have for all components of the exams. These can be added to/adapted as necessary. Finally there is a sheet for students to log their marks & grades for their trial exams - again, can be adapted as appropriate.

These concept maps provide a quick and easy cover solution for a lesson or two. The concept maps could be done individually or as a pair work activity. The red resource booklet referred to is for sale elsewhere in my shop, but this reference could be changed to refer to any resources that the students might have, such as their own exercise book.
