This PPT uses visuals and the map of France to talk about different geographical facts in French.

Pupils fill in the gaps in the worksheet as they listen to the traditional French carol. There is a link to the song on YouTube on the sheet as well.

The idea of this activity is for the pupils to give the four French paintings their own titles. It’s amazing what they come up with! I would advise you give them dictionaries. Ideal as a starter for a dictionary skills lesson.

Pupils have cards in pairs and pick up a TV show card, an opinion card and ‘je les trouve’ card, followed by ‘Par contre’ to make sentences. Example: J’adore les dessins animés. Je les trouve très amusants. Par contre, je n’aime pas les documentaires. Je les trouves ennuyeux.

On this worksheet, students use the second page to complete their ideal timetable in the template, draw their ideal uniform and give their opinion about it.

This PPT explains the use of ‘the’ in French and how it’s not always translated in English.

This is a presentation for an alternative curriculum day. Any age group can do it, but you would need to adjust the end task to make it harder for older pupils. I used this with pupils from high-ability Year 7 up to Year 9. Pupils are introduced to the vocab needed for the display (switch off lights, put rubbish in the bin, etc).

Use this PPT to practise pupils’ memory skills. There are 10 random words that appear at timed intervals that they must try to remember without taking notes, then activities to follow. At the end, using the vocab, pupils play noughts and crosses in teams.

Full instructions are in the notes section of this PPT. Pupils are shown words that they have to remember in a given time limit. Their challenge is then increased with longer phrases.

Pupils stick a copy of this table into their books to remind them how to conjugate ‘sein’.

Add your own verb and its paradigm to this slide, allowing pupils to practise conjugating the given verb in pairs, using a dice.

Students use these slides to help them write a ‘for sale’ paragraph about a sibling or friend. It practises personality words and physical descriptions.

This PPT teaches students how to say what food and drink they like or dislike.

Each student gets a card with French on it. They have to find the student who has the only other card that can go with theirs.

My students stick this sheet into their exercise books at the start of the year for reference throughout the year. It has literacy codes on it, along with some phrases to help the students speak spontaneously (they tally every time they use one of the phrases). Alongside the literacy codes used in students’ work, there are columns for me to tick each term, which means students have to focus on their weakest area (spelling, punctuation, etc.). The ‘STAC’ referred to on the sheet is an assessed piece of work done each term, but this can be deleted/edited as you please.

A sheet for students to stick into their exercise books for reference in lessons - simple everyday phrases in German.

I use this sheet either at the end of each half-term (after assessments) or at the start of the following half-term. Pupils fill in their self-assessment of their own progress over the half-term, including what they found most challenging and their personal targets for the following half-term.

As they enter the room, give pupils a random mood card. Whenever they speak in the target language, they must do so in the mood on the card. Other pupils then have to guess that mood. Just a different way to get them speaking in the target language!

I use this sheet either at the end of each half-term (after assessments) or at the start of the following half-term. Pupils fill in their self-assessment of their own progress over the half-term, including what they found most challenging and their personal targets for the following half-term.

Give each student one set of these cards to use throughout lessons. As they go through the lesson, they display one of them on their desks for you to see as you walk around. This way, you can see who needs help, etc. Print the ‘I don’t get it at all’ on red. Print the ‘I think I get it’ on yellow. Print the ‘I get it’ on green.
