Just some fun for your last lesson before Christmas! Pupils put their hands up to offer a co-ordinate - teacher (or a chosen pupil) clicks on the corresponding box to reveal either a frowny face or a Christmas pud! If pupil finds a pud, they get a sweet! This activity can be used to practise French numbers and alphabet or as a maths activity linking to co-ordinates topic. Three different versions are included and the letters / numbers can be edited to raise level of challenge.

Just a bit of fun to round off your final lessons before Christmas!! Haribos for the winners!! 'Ave &'em!!!! :)

Teacher places battleships behind random squares prior to lesson. Pupil says a sentence (action + time) to create a co-ordinate. (Can then ask them to translate what they've said).Teacher or pupil moves appropriate square to reveal a battleship :) or not! :( Sweet / point for those finding ships!!

Instead of teaching pupils tv programmes - repeat after me etc zzzzzzzzzzz, let them teach themselves!! Pupils are given a sheet of A3 paper, a copy of the vocab list, a copy of the pictures and a dictionary. They match up the words to the pictures, cut them out and stick them onto the A3. As an extension, they could write their opinion of each type of programme next to them. 'Ave it!! :)

Cut up the 5 cards & place however you like in the room. (I have 5 tables, 6 pupils on each - I put 3 copies of the same card on each table). Pupils work in pairs and are given 5 minutes on each table to see how many of the questions they can answer by reading the text. After 5 mins they move on to the next table. Or you can stick copies of the texts on the walls / tables / back of chairs etc and let them find the 5 different texts. Have fun!

Instructions as to how you could use this on page 3 of document. Hope it's of some use - &'AVE IT!!!!! :)

Instructions sheet included - just have a look and 'ave it if it&'s any good! Not actually used it yet so any feedback appreciated, equally if you find mistakes let me know! Thought I might use it with middle ability year 11s as revision prior to reading + listening exams!

Vocab + exercises N.B. Slides 3-8 - 2 pupils come to front, teacher clicks mouse, yellow box appears - first pupil to slap the right word wins. (Screen 8 - correct word missing hence HA HA picture!) I can't be the only mean teacher out there with a sense of humour! Just watch their faces!! Screen 10 similar - 2 pupils at front, first to slap word when it appears gets to tell you what it means for a prize.

3 easy texts - 3 activities - middle to low ability

Pupils research the vocab then build sentences.

OOPS - absolutely NOTHING to do with French! Just a TWO SIDED Christmas puzzle / activity sheet for your last lesson with your French group or your tutor group!! (You can edit the Christmas message to fit your own class.)

Summer holiday vocabulary wordsearch. Words are listed in English so pupils have to use research tools to find out the French before finding them in the wordsearch. Perfect for that last lesson of the year!!! :) I've included 3 different formats so hopefully everyone can access it.

Teaches 10 items you might put in your suitcase via various interactive activities. 'Ave it! :)

Pupil clicks on the spin wheel. Dial lands on a colour ; pupil must choose a box of same colour. Move the box to reveal a word - pupil gets sweet / point if they know what it is in English. Adaptable. More challenging if words on screen are in English, & pupil has to give French word.

2 shopping lists to translate into English

Vocab for talking about being healthy

Just one slide...click on the 8 cinema tickets and a film theme will play. (Pictures are incidental ... they don't match with the music excerpts). Pupils have previously been taught film genres - they must note the correct genre as they listen to each theme. Could also be used to reinforce adjectives for describing films? Scroll to bottom of screen to find answers.

A selected pupil gives coordinates in French. Teacher taps appropriate square, which will fly out revealing a blank square or a Christmas pud!! There are 7 to find. The puds are at the bottom of the screen so you need to move them onto the grid before playing. This means you can play more than once! Nice way to end last lesson before Xmas! Sweets needed as prizes of course!! A bag of chocolate coins works well and is cheap! 'Ave it!! :) P.S. To re-set the game quickly, just click the blue forward arrow to take you onto next screen, then click the blue back arrow. This will return you to game screen with all squares back in place. You can retrieve the Xmas puds from the grid by using the blue curly UNDO arrow.

Pupils are given a copy of the vocab list on last slide of powerpoint. They are then shown a series of images with a choice of 3 emotions and asked to show red/amber/green card to show which emotion they think is shown in the images. (Our pupils' planners have RAG pages - they could use different coloured pens / objects instead?) Later slides offer no choice of emotions, but encourage pupils to write an emotion on a whiteboard instead. Depending on ability of class pupils could be encouraged to write whole sentences rather than single words.

Pupils use a dictionary to find out new vocabulary. They then create a long line of dominoes, matching up all the words and pictures. Once they are familiar with the vocabulary they can play a few games of dominoes! (Worth discussing the rules first .. some of my pupils weren't sure how to play dominoes!!)
