French - Label the countries in Europe

(1)
Pupils use the worksheet (and their knowledge of countries in Europe) to label the map of Europe in French. This could be done previous to or following teaching of countries in Europe or maybe a quick pre-worksheet quiz about the countries in English.

French - Advantages & disadvantages of technology

(0)
Use this PPT to introduce the advantages and disadvantages of technology. Start by seeing if students can work out if these are advantages or disadvantages of technology. Students then discuss in pairs how they (could have) worked out the English meaning, using the clues.

TheMFLTeacherTheMFLTeacher

French - The simple future tense

(1)

Battleships template - Class version

(0)
This is an easy PPT template for you to adapt as you like. Change the side and top title bars, depending on the topic you’re doing. Click on the blue boxes to make them disappear to reveal (or not!) an explosion underneath. For variation, simply move the explosions to different squares.

Snakes & Ladders template

(0)
Pupils work in pairs. They test each other on a set list of vocabulary, shuffled up (maybe on cards). One pupil throws a dice and moves that many spaces. Whichever number they land on, their partner asks that question. Works in the same way as ‘Snakes & Ladders’!
Christmas in Germany

Christmas in Germany

(1)
This PPT introduces some facts about Christmas traditions in Germany as a multiple choice-style quiz. At the end of the PPT, there is then an advent calendar-style game about the facts and vocab.

TheMFLTeacherTheMFLTeacher

German - Family members introduction

(0)
Use the PPT to introduce family members in German. Print and copy the family tree from the presentation, so pupils can follow and make notes. Pupils then use the clues (e.g. my dad’s brother) to identify the family member.
Clothes 'Follemathiques' starter

Clothes 'Follemathiques' starter

(1)
Whole-class activity, which could become pairwork. Instead of saying, for example, “2 plus 3”, you say, “une robe plus des chaussures”. Students’ answers would then be “une veste”, instead of “5”. Make the calculation as complicated as you like!

Trapdoor template

(1)
This activity can be done in pairs or as a class. As a class, one pupil leaves the room while everyone else decides what the correct sequence should be. The pupil re-enters the room and tries to guess the sequence. If incorrect, they have to start again. It's better as a pairwork activity. One pupil decides which options they want to use in the complete paragraph. The other reads through the paragraph, guessing the options as they go. If incorrect, they must start again. Cue lots of laughter!

TheMFLTeacherTheMFLTeacher

French - Simple future Connect 4

(0)
This Connect 4 game practises the simple future of both regular and irregular verbs in French. 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. This can be vertically, horizontally or diagonally. In presentation mode, click on the relevant coloured circle to change the colour of the rectangle.
French - Prepositions
TheMFLTeacherTheMFLTeacher

French - Prepositions

(0)
This PPT introduces pupils to prepositions in French, using Where’s Wally? Pupils must find Wally first. After he’s been found, introduce the preposition. At the end of the presentation, pupils must then match the French preposition to the English.
