Pupils work in pairs to read the paragraph about rooms in the house. Each pupil has the same paragraph, but with gaps in different places. By reading to each other, they fill in the gaps in their own paragraph, promoting speaking, listening and transcription skills.

When you click on the slide, the picture very slowly reveals. Pupils could then, with the vocab in front of them, race to be the first to name the place. The final slide is a game of our famous 'Donate or Steal'. 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.

Use this PPT to introduce places in town in French. On the first slides, in two teams, students choose a square. Click on the square to reveal a part of the image underneath. Students decide to either guess the place in French or pass to the other team. If they guess correctly, they get a point. If they guess incorrectly, the other team get the point. This encourages students to use context and clues to work out the new vocab. Finish with a team game. Students choose a number and answer a question about places in town. If they guess correctly, click to reveal their score underneath.

Perfect practice for GCSE students and their speaking skills. A simple but effective board game, using counters and dice, practising talking about where you live. At different places on the board, students must, for example, talk about advantages and disadvantages, say where they would like to live in the future, etc.

Pupils use this writing to write about what they like or don't like to do in certain weather and why.

Team game. Pupils choose a number from the grid. When you click on the number and reveal a word or phrase, they must translate it to gain a point for their team.

Activities in town. To start with, show the phrases for the activities with the words jumbled up. Pupils can then work out (if possible!) what the correct word order should be, before being told what the activities are. The second activity for the pupils is one where all the images of the activities are on the board and when you say one of the activities in French, they raise their hands, according to what symbol is by the picture. Finally, pupils translate the sentences into English at the end of the PPT. The sentences are saying what you can do and where.

Use this PPT to present the rooms of the house in French. Each room on the floor plans is a link to the corresponding slide with the vocab. Click on links to take you to the upstairs floor plan and to the game at the end of the PPT to practise what the students have just learned (Connect 4).

To begin with, pupils are introduced to the new vocab of saying what there is to do in town. Then, pupils raise their hands, according to the activity you mention (right, left or both hands). After this, pupils choose A, B or C to translate (the options are not shown until they choose). It makes translation a little more fun! Finally, pupils translate the sentences about what you can do in town.

Press F5 and the PPT will flick through the flags very quickly. To make it stop/start, simply press ‘S’. A greater starter activity, following teaching pupils how to say where they live (countries).

Use this PPT to introduce the students to the facts about the French language. On the following slides, students identify the slowly-revealed flags from either general knowledge or even football knowledge!

This PPT introduces some differences between France and the UK. Go through the chosen differences with students, allowing them to guess which country it refers to. The following slides are extra bits of information. Students use the clues to work out what the differences could be. Finally, give students facts in French to translate – they then choose a square and if there’s a treasure underneath, they get the point for their team. New addition - noughts and crosses to practise the new vocab!

This presentation starts by comparing how many own their own houses in the UK and Germany. Then, using the German logic, looking at the vocab of rooms in the house. There is then a team game to practise the new vocab and, finally, a matching activity.

Pupils use this writing wheel to write about where they live (their house). Instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.

The topic here is 'Where I live' (e.g. in the countryside, etc.) When they see the vocab, pupils put thumbs up or down, depending on whether they agree that the vocab matches the picture. If it does match, the thumbs up image shakes. If it doesn’t match, the thumbs down image shakes and the correct picture appears.

Use this PPT to introduce both rooms of the house and areas where people live (countryside, etc.) Items of vocab are colour-coded, accordingly mainly to gender.

This French Learning Journey is based on: all Year 7, 8 and 9 studying French Allez course followed for KS3 from Year 10, GCSE exam board is AQA I hope it’s of use for you!

Introduce the poem ‘Pour dessiner un bonhomme’ using this PPT, which goes through each section, using animations to aid understanding.

Pupils have the story of the Princess and the Pea in French and cut up. They must put the chunks into the correct order. The must then put the cards in the correct order on the storyboard. Instructions for pupils are included.

Ideal cover lesson. Pupils fill in the timetable in German to begin with. They then draw and label their school uniform in German, using the vocab list to help. They write some opinion words underneath their drawing. To finish, they must write a sentence or two about subjects and their uniform. For example, “Ich finde Deutsch toll und ich finde Mathe langweilig. Ich finde meine Schuluniform cool und schick.”
