A very useful sheet to have in front of you if you are to carry out GCSE Speaking exams with your class! The script serves both Foundation and Higher, with teacher’s script and notes about timing and what to do (collect in notes, whether it is ok or not to rephrase questions, etc.). I hope you find it useful (I could certainly not get my exams going without this!). Any feedback is, as always, super welcome :)

Lesson for an able year 11 class. It could take one or two lessons. Please feel free to use/adapt. The idea is that F Ss complete The 90 words task and the H candidates de 150 words. You may tell them about what to include (BURST, AVOCADO, and any other acronyms that work for your class). Please let me know if that was useful for you and your class :)

¿Qué canción es? is a great activity to give your year 11 classes a break and have some fun competing in teams of 2-4 against other pupils in the classroom. The aim of the game is to get as many points as possible by listening to the opposite team and translate the lyrics they read out loud in Spanish into English, so that your team guesses the song , which originally is in English language! There can be 5, 10 or 15 different rounds. Each song has an icon with 3, 2 or 1 points to indicate how many points to award. 0 points awarded if no guess. If students who read the card to the other team do not know the song, they can put it back in the deck. Print the tally and then the different slides in card. It is best if two slides are printed on one sheet of paper. ¡Que lo paséis bien!

Lovely hand-out that I am planning to give year 11 who will carry on with their Spanish for A Level. The aim is to keep them engaged and practising reading, listening and learning about mainly Spanish culture (I am truly sorry I did not include much Latin American culture, I am planning on developing that during the course in year 12). All activities are free of charge apart from number 5, and can easily be completed on a daily basis on their phones.

A general conversation lesson, which emphasises on sentence structure and time phrases with (some) reflexive verbs. Feel free to use, adapt, and improve and share!

A board game to revise the Present Perfect in Spanish (or pretérito perfecto compuesto) and practise Speaking and Listening. It is best to print out the board game in a A3 piece of paper. Minimum of 2 players per game, they will need a token each to keep in the boxes. You will need 1 coin (I use a 2p coin normally, tails advances 1 and heads 2 forward). You will need to print out a small deck of the ‘Verdadero/falso’ cards in card paper. Instructions: Youngest person (Speaker) starts, goes forward one or two boxes and picks a card. If the card says ‘Verdadero’, they will modify the information in the box (in Spanish) to make it true for them. The other players must decide whether the person is telling the truth or lying. If the other players catch the person lying, he or she will go back one box. If they do not catch the Speaker in a lie, he or she stays in the box. If your classes enjoy this game, please let me know!

Lesson for an able year 10 class at the beginning of year 10 or revision of the topic for a Foundation Year 11 class. It includes a reading which helps modelling writing. Please feel free to use/adapt and let me know if your classes enjoyed it!

This is a creative activity that I am planning to do with my French and Spanish classes across KS3 and KS4 as a whole school event. It should not take longer than 30 minutes during a regular lesson. Pupils choose some sentences from the slide in TL (following numbers 1-5), then copy them out with the appropriate connectives, with a friend in mind. Then they can decorate the cards. Teacher is to collect the cards and keep them until the morning of 14th of February, when pupils will receive cards during tutor time.
