Simply another PPT to introduce pupils to -er verbs in French.

Teach pupils how to form -ir verbs in French using this PPT.

Use this as a random picture selector: Press F5 and then ‘s’ randomly. Whatever the picture is and the symbol at the bottom of the slide, pupils must take it in turns to say something – a question about the picture, an exclamation, a positive, a negative, something in the future and something in the past.

One of my personal favourites! Have a reading text in the box. In 2 teams, pupils choose a word to find in the text. The pupils don’t know what each word is worth. Click on the word they have chosen when they have correctly identified it in the text and their score will be revealed. The winning team is the team with the highest score once all words have been found in the text. 3 slides with different scores.

Insert random words, or words from the current topic into each slide. Then, press F5 to start the presentation loop. Press ‘S’ to stop and start the loop again. For each random word it lands on, students have to include it in a paragraph or a 1-minute talk, for example.

Students choose a number and have to make a sentence with the word shown. Depending upon ability, they could make new sentences with the following words chosen, or they could try to make a story with the following words.

You must buy sentences at every shop. Each sentence costs 1€. Each sentence is worth a different amount of winnings. Draw your Euros into your winning column. If you run out of Euros in your bank, you can use your winnings to buy sentences. The winners have the most Euros. Full instructions in the notes section of the PPT.

Pupils roll the dice and then: ask a question, give a statement, say something positive, say something negative, say something in the future, say something in the past about a given topic.

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’!

Groups of 3 or 4. Choose a pupil at random to choose a number. Click on the number (on your computer) to reveal a word. All pupils have 30 seconds to write a sentence using that word. The most impressive (and correct) sentence wins a point for their team.

Copy pictures or type words into each of the blue boxes. Pupils choose a box by saying the word or phrase (or a sentence) represented by the picture/word. Click on that picture/word if they get it right and reveal the random points they get for their team. A lot of luck involved here!

Enter your own questions into the spinner and press 'S' in presentation mode to stop on a random question.

There is an example included in this template. Pupils must name a word in French associated with the topic of, for example, physical appearance. If they mention any of the words you came up with as teacher, they are awarded the points you allocated to that word.

In pairs, pupils roll a dice to carry out the plenary tasks you have entered on the slide. To make it more challenging, pupils must change one detail in the phrase.

Give the students a gap-fill text with 10 gaps in it (A to I). Of course, this can be more or fewer gaps – just remember to adjust the A to I in the table. In each gap in the text, write a letter (A to I). Along the corresponding row in the table, give 6 alternatives to go in that gap. Pupils then choose one by rolling a dice. When the student reaches the gap, they roll a dice and say/write the corresponding word.

Fill each slide with a question. Pupils choose a question number and teacher clicks on the number to take them to that question.

Go through each sound-spelling with the pupils. Then, play Kim's game using words containing the sound-spellings. There is then a Connect 4 game using the same words. The PPT then goes through a display about spontaneous speaking and then finishes with a dictionary challenge.

This can be used with any language. Pupils play in two teams. When you click on the O or the X, the square will change to either O or X. Instructions are within the PowerPoint.

On the topic of 'saying where it hurts', pupils select the 6 correct answers – focus is on the grammar (j'ai mal au genou, etc). They reveal either a tick or a cross when they click on their answer.
