An easy activity to set up which will keep pupils engaged and enthused.
Print off the 2 board games plus answer sheets.
Give dice and counters (could be scrap of paper with pupils initials).
Pupils play with answer sheet freeing you up to lead another activity or intervene to support.
2 versions: easy questions and harder questions.
A set of 30 French infinitives Follow Me Cards.
Teacher instructions included.
Use to teach or revise 30 infinitives.
Excellent for introducing the near furture tense- just add je vais before the infinitive..
Highly interactive activity. Ensures all pupils participate. After traditional rounds where the game snakes around the classroom you could introduce element of competition by racing against the clock.
A fantastic use of the cards is to get pupils to stand in a circle according to the sequence of the cards. Great for energy and enthusiasm!
Great end of year activity especially for pupils who enjoy doodling and making things look pretty- this is surely a winner for a gel pen fan! It would also make a great first lesson
3 slides included
Pre-populated poster with answers filled in.
A version with questions written at the top of each box for pupils to respond to
An empty version without the question so pupils have autonomy over content. This is also editable so you can amend the language according to your year group and topic. Simply add text boxes over the box and put your own question in.
Two word mats are also included to support pupils with vocabulary they probably should know but maybe haven’t used since September/October and they want some kind of reference! These make great start of topic glossaries or learning homework sheets as well so print and use next year.
A great sheet to use in the last week of term to give the pupils something focused to do when you pop on a French film. For those who aren’t entirely engrossed they can answer the questions, add some doodles and decorate or colour the sheet.
It gives a really educational focus to the film lesson (regardless of whether or not it is a TL film).
Also included is a film genres PPT.
If you are using it as part of your media module there are general questions about film and cinema and specific film review questions. They are all accessible and if you would like to add more complex/advanced questions there is a blank template for you to simply add a text boxes with more age/stage appropriate questions.

Are you ready to explore Paris in this Virtual Field Trip? This resource includes videos, 3D visits, challenges and puzzles so your students can feel like they have been to Paris without actually having to leave the classroom.
Students will visit Paris via PowerPoint. Their journey begins at the airport where they have to search clues to make it to the correct gate and board the plane. A video shows the plane take off and land before they find themselves in their hotel room with a view of the Eiffel Tower.
From here they click on the four landmarks which takes them to a new slide with a choice of four varied and interactive activities. From videos, puzzles to fact sheets there is so much for them to do.
The PowerPoint is easy to navigate with clear instructions and buttons directing them from one activity to the next and then back to the hotel room.
At the end of the visit there is a certificate which they can add a text box with their own name before saving the slide or printing it off as a certificate.
If you get a chance to leave feedback please do so, it really does mean a lot both to me and future buyers.
Thank you and bon voyage!

The highest bidder goes first- if he can get to his bid he wins, if he can't the next bidder goes and has to get to his highest bid to win.
