This PPT introduces pupils to prepositions in French, using Where’s Wally? Pupils must find Wally first. After he’s been found, introduce the preposition. At the end of the presentation, pupils must then match the French preposition to the English.

Using the Wingdings symbols, pupils work out each greeting and write it correctly.

Use this slide as a handout for weaker pupils, instead of asking them to make notes when being taught directions in German.

Introduce pupils to different time phrases that refer to particular tenses (past, present & future), allowing them to show off their knowledge of tenses in a simple way. After introducing the time phrases, pupils must identify which tense must be used for each time phrase that appears on the board. They do this by stepping backwards (past), stomping (present) and stepping forwards (future).

This worksheet allows lower ability pupils to practise German directions.

My students stick this into the front cover of their exercise books and use it to record summative assessment results each half-term, giving them an overview of their progress over the year. It’s in the shape of an arrow and, at the end of the arrow, they write their target grade/level. When they record their assessment results, they also have to write a few words to say what they will do to try to improve their result for the next assessment.

Pupils work out the greetings phrases by cracking the code. They then put the 9 phrases into the logical order of a conversation.

Simply match up the times as a starter, following a lesson on how to tell the time in French.

Using Monet’s painting, ‘Jardin à Sainte-Adresse’ and example sentences underneath the painting, pupils have to change one word (if it’s a noun, they can change le/la) to make a sentence of their own. This activity focuses in particular on colours and agreements.

Pupils use this writing to write about what they like or don't like to do in certain weather and why.

Use this PPT to introduce and explain time expressions and their corresponding tenses in French. On each slide, a phrase is given in French and pupils have to identify which tense it’s in. Then, they look at the time phrase and the tense in the sentence. Ideal for looking at translation in exams.

Use this resource alongside the PPT to introduce directions in German. Give pupils a copy of this slide to make notes when being taught directions.

Different shapes for card sorts (triangle, etc.) Fill in the vocab so that the English matches the target language when laid in a triangle like this. There is an example of this in the PPT.

This wordsearch is designed to be used with a school-sized dictionary. Students look up the English Christmas words at the bottom of the sheet and find the French words in the wordsearch.

This one-page lesson plan allows you to have the long-term, medium-term and lesson plan all in one place, putting your plan into context. There’s space for the lesson details, including any homework and resources needed, a hyperlink to your seating plan, notes, students to note and a space for your evaluation.

Pupils complete the worksheet based around simple greeting, yes and no.

On this worksheet, students use the second page to complete their ideal timetable in the template, draw their ideal uniform and give their opinion about it.

Vocab spinners. Cut these out and use them to revise vocab. Stick a stick in the middle and pupils spin it! On the second slide are the cards to use with the spinner. Pupils pick up one of the cards and do the challenge from the spinner. The challenges are: spell it, write it, define it, use it.

I get my students to stick this sheet into their books at the start of the year to help them communicate in the classroom in French.
