This set of cards looks at 57 different settings. The teacher describes something in the top card. The students then use this to model a sentence using the bottom set of pictures. There are lots of things to see and describe in every picture. When the students have completed this task, they can repeat it by working in pairs to discuss each picture.
What works very well is for the two pictures to be directly projected on a wall. The teacher talks about the top picture, such as in my picture, I can see two seagulls flying;... then the students model their responses, using the sentence structure provided by the teacher.
There are lots of different ways you could use this pack. You could laminate them into two cards and get each student to talk about what they had seen in their picture.

EDL Assembly_ European day of Languages_01
This assembly is ready to go for European Day of Languages on 26 September.
Shows why languages matter: over 200 in Europe, more respect, more opportunities.
Spotlights big languages like Spanish and French, plus smaller ones like Welsh and Catalan.
Fun cultural gems: French “joie de vivre”, Spanish “sobremesa”, Finnish “sisu”.
A strong focus on interculturalism: seeing differences as positives and learning to respect other cultures.
Includes hilarious translation fails (like Schweppes “toilet water”).
Built-in quizzes and extras: posters, poetry, lunchtime activities.
It’s lively, interactive, and perfect for sparking curiosity about languages and cultures.
