(2)
A good way to consolidate the formation of the Passé Composé in French. Just write 4 past participles of your choice (I usually do one -ER, one -IR, one -RE and one irregular) in the boxes down the side, and away you go ! Excellent pair game. Each player has a sheet and uses the first grid to record their own ships (we usually have 8) and the second grid to record their hits and misses. Can be adapted for lots of other grammatical points as well.

Personal Pronouns rap !
GeekieGeekie

Personal Pronouns rap !

(7)
I usually get my students to repeat the personal pronouns in English and in French to a rhythm (pat pat clap clap) to get them to remember what they are and the order they are in. However my Y8 this year have no sense of rhythm and it was a disaster. One of them, though, said Miss, you should record it. So blame him ! The lyrics are (unsurprisingly) I you he she we you they, Je tu il elle nous vous ils elles The idea is that they listen and then repeat. This is my first attempt at something like this - hope you like it !
