KS3 French - Oral ping-pong translation: tv programmes and frequency in the present tense
INSTRUCTIONS - The students work in pairs. They have a sheet with two sets of English sentences to translate into French, but Partner A has the French translation of first set, whereas Partner B has the translation of second set. It is called 'Oral ping-pong translation' because they do it orally, Partner A challenging Partner B with a sentence and showing the correct answer to provide them with feedback and to award points (3 for perfect sentence, 2 for one mistake only, 1 if there are mistakes but at least the verb is correctly formed). I give them a time limit (10 minutes); when the time is up the person with the higher score wins. Best to have people of similar ability in each pair. As a follow-up, students to make a note of the most serious mistakes they made in their books so that I have an idea of what their problem areas are. Differentiation opportunities are obvious: different sets of sheets for groups of different ability

KS3 French beginners - Pool of resources on Verb ETRE and HABITER and personal details
(1) A sentence builder to practice the pattern:
I am from ___________but I have been living in _______________ since /for __________________
(2) A find someone who with cards with four grids so you can play four rounds of the game
(3) A set of narrow reading tasks
(4) A set of gap-fills based on the narrow reading tasks
(5) An oral translation board game
(6) A verb and adjectivel endings manipulation writing task
(7) Gap-fill madness - 'Gap-fill madness' is a very easy-to-prepare game I stage to automatise verb production and decoding skills at the same time. Students, working in groups of three, are given a list of twelve simple sentences (see below) in which the target verb is gapped. They then compete with each other at filling the gap in the shortest time possible. The person who does it faster and with 'decent' pronunciation wins. I usually stage three rounds per player, the shortest time overall winning. Whilst one player speaks the others time them and monitor their accuracy and pronunciation. Pairing students by ability a must!
