A starter activity I designed to be used as a starter to revise Les Passetemps or work out what student do or don't know. The idea is that students speak to/ask each other in the class to find out the answers and each box/question has to be answered by a different person who can put initials when answer is written. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback!
Starter or HWK piece of text to translate into English and then adapt about own family in Spanish. Would suit Yr7.
Enjoy and don't forget to feedback :-)
A list of useful vocab for Spanish GCSE students. Could be done as a HWK, test or as a class activity where students go around the class and ask each other for the answers. Each person who gives an answer signs their initials. The idea is to try and get your students to communicate with everyone in the room. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback :-)
After teaching my Yr7 body parts in Spanish, I asked them to design their own Frankenstein using body parts from various pictures (collage) and asked them to label it. This is an example of finished product you could show your class. Laugh out loud guaranteed. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
Activity I have designed for Yr 7 after teaching them weather keywords. Students put the weather symbols on the map. Then they can trace their own map of France and do their own weather forecast or for HWK get a map from a country in the world and do weather forecast. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
Easy test for Yr7 to check understanding and knowledge. Word recognition, translation both ways, reading comprehension and questions, writing exercise. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback :-)
A test to check knowledge acquisition for KS4 on new technologies. Recap vocab taught, gap filling exercise, reading comprehension with questions, writing exercise.
Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
Working on the topic of holidays with my Yr10 and thinking about literary extracts, I have decided to study this piece with my class, do some comprehension as use it as a base to do some writing on my dream holiday. Enjoy…!
Speaking activity with the Sentence Stealer. Adapted resource.
Delayed Translation. Adapted resource (you say the sentence in French, then distract students as you wish for ten seconds, and then ask students to either reproduce the sentence on mini whiteboard or translate from TL into English). Enjoy!
A series of questions to go with a video I found on the internet about Christmas. Here is link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwAnG8k1bC4
Good for Yr 7,8,9 for a bit of culture to put them in the Christmas spirit. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
This is a trapdoor activity to get your students to practise their speaking skills. It is played in pairs. Each person chooses an option for each sentence in their head. One starts reading the text and trying to find out the other’s choices. Each time they make a choice, the partner nods or shakes his/her head. If the choice is correct the person continues until they get it wrong. When they get it wrong, the other person has a go. The aim of the game is to finish first. I did this with my Yr10 students and they enjoyed it a lot! Enjoy and don’t forget to feedback!

Here is a Powerpoint presentation I have made with all the answers and some writing titles for 120/180 words tasks.
This is to go with the French GCSE Translation booklet (attached) made by Kloereese on TES.
My classes have found it really useful for revision before exams.
Enjoy!
