Here is a little starter I got my Yr10 to do the other day to recap town, shops, adjectives. I projected it on the board and got them to translate it. Would suit Yr11 for revision. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
This is a trapdoor activity to get your students to practise their speaking skills. It is played in pairs. Each person chooses an option for each sentence in their head. One starts reading the text and trying to find out the other’s choices. Each time they make a choice, the partner nods or shakes his/her head. If the choice is correct the person continues until they get it wrong. When they get it wrong, the other person has a go. The aim of the game is to finish first. I did this with my Yr10 students and they enjoyed it a lot! Enjoy and don’t forget to feedback!
Vocab competition (two teams, students have to write correct sentence on mini whiteboard as a team. Team captain calls when he/she believes all have finished. Other team checks all mini whiteboards for the correct answer. If no mistake, point goes to team that called it. If mistake is found by opponents, point for them).
Speaking activity with the Sentence Stealer. Adapted resource.
Delayed Translation. Adapted resource (you say the sentence in French, then distract students as you wish for ten seconds, and then ask students to either reproduce the sentence on mini whiteboard or translate from TL into English). Enjoy!
