French - Hands up clothes activity

(0)
There are images of various clothes and pupils must raise the correct hand when you, as the teacher, says one of the articles of clothing in French. Instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.

This is a great starter idea to practise new vocab. You will probably have to explain the concept of the letters on the number pads of phones. Use the grid to spell out words using numbers, instead of letters (e.g. 'B' is 22 and 'Y' is 999).
German - Progress review sheet

German - Progress review sheet

(0)
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.
French - Advantages & disadvantages of social media

French - Advantages & disadvantages of social media

(1)
On the first slide, in line with the GCSE speaking photo card, pupils give sentences about the picture. This is an introduction to the topic of the advantages and disadvantages of social media. On the following slide, phrases have been taken from a text about social media. Students decide whether the statements are advantages or disadvantages. Students then use mini whiteboards to recap the vocab. To finish, students challenge each other for the next lesson. They all write a phrase from this lesson on a Post-It and stick it to the back wall. These are then randomly given out to the students as a starter in the following lesson to be translated.

Blockbusters template for pairwork

(0)
Template for Blockbusters pairwork. Students could either write in clues for their partner in each hexagon, or you could add your own. The aim is to get from one side of the board to the other by answering questions/clues. The other person must also try and block their opponent.

French - The simple future tense

(1)
This PPT introduces the simple future to students, including of course verb endings, but also the most common irregular simple future verbs. It finished with a mini whiteboard activity. Pupils write the correct translation of the phrases on their boards.
German - Family members introduction

German - Family members introduction

(0)
Use the PPT to introduce family members in German. Print and copy the family tree from the presentation, so pupils can follow and make notes. Pupils then use the clues (e.g. my dad’s brother) to identify the family member.

French - Daily routine presentation

(0)
Use this PPT to introduce daily routine vocab to pupils. It starts by introducing the vocab, then pupils have to choose between the two options in French. Then, they must identify the phrases with the vowels missing. Finally, play a game of Blockbusters with the class to practise the new vocab.

Snakes & Ladders template

Pupils work in pairs. They test each other on a set list of vocabulary, shuffled up (maybe on cards). One pupil throws a dice and moves that many spaces. Whichever number they land on, their partner asks that question. Works in the same way as ‘Snakes & Ladders’!
French - Simple future & conditional tenses
TheMFLTeacherTheMFLTeacher

French - Simple future & conditional tenses

(0)
Use this PPT to introduce pupils to both the simple future and the conditional in French. As they are quite similar, it seems sensible to introduce them both together. This is really better suited to higher ability pupils.
French - Timetable gap-fill pairwork
TheMFLTeacherTheMFLTeacher

French - Timetable gap-fill pairwork

(0)
Pupils work in pairs to fill in the gaps in the timetable. Each pupil has different gaps and must work out what goes in the gaps by asking what subject the other pupil has period 1 on a Tuesday, for example.
