A generic worksheet with boxes to fill in when pupils are watching a film. It’s generic so should go with any film! There are French and Spanish versions. Haven’t updated my cover image yet, apologies. Find: colours/words you know/words you heard but would like to understand/cognates/opinions etc. and a handy section to fill in how far into the film you’ve got so you can pick up next lesson.

An aide-mémoire! Lists of food and drink to use with any year or ability. Plenty of space to add more vocab’ as pupils come across it. Print double-sided to make a booklet. NOTE: my PC has corrected the French “vanille” to the English, “vanilla”. Can’t yet find a way to change it back: please get your students to correct it! I might do this by asking them to find the deliberate mistake… :)

Reading comprehension/gap-fill/matching exercises. May help with reading and listening tasks you will do or can be a stand-alone document to go alongside what you already do. Contains some higher level language. Tip: set short time limits per block of questions and go through them with the class when the time's up! Then move on. Keeps them on their toes and avoids inattention and lack of motivation if they find a particular task hard. Or, use the sheet as starters over a series of lessons. The bottom exercise has one answer missing: hopefully superlearners will spot this ;)

A sheet to log progress and look forward to Year 9.

French Y7 Term 1.1 Speaking/Writing Assessment A simple assessment with the flexibility to be used for speaking and/or writing. It begins with a model answer by Harry Potter with key words to change underlined. Learners can then use the model to write about themselves, so it suits low ability.

A ten page document for primary pupils or low ability KS3. Covers bonjour, name, numbers 1-20 and age. Animal characters provide stimulating images.

A "Tarsia" game. You'll need to install "Tarsia" first. Then pupils match up the English and French phrases into a shape. You can tell them the shape to help them!

A set of phrases in English and French to match up to deduce perfect tense pattern with avoir. Lots of cutting to do, I’m afraid! Then a quiz sheet to see what they’ve learnt after you’ve told them how it works! Simple! :/

Powerpoint to introduce hobbies vocabulary.

Basic ntroduction to personality words in m/f lists.

Pro forma for logging speaking each half term (or less!!).

Noël: A pack of French Christmas resources for years 7 to 11. 5 or more sheets per year group which eliminates the need to scrabble around every year as they are all different. Starts basic for Y7 with vocabulary based sheets/word search etc and by Y11 they have some multiple choice reading comprehension to do. If you can’t fit these in to your SoW, why not use them for French club, HW or just for keen beans! I’ve included a PDF of everything plus another copy which has hints/tips/answers also brought over from the original. Note: they print landscape.

Word search in Spanish with Christmas vocabulary. Translate the vocabulary into English.

Vocab' to speak spontaneously in class.

Reading worksheet on town and holidays for Year 8.

Worksheet to provide spaces to create a song or rap in French.

Little tickets for use in the French classroom. Use as you wish as tokens/rewards. I give them for speaking and collect them in for a draw at the end of a lesson or week. Write names on back. Winners receive rewards according to your school system.

Pro forma to fill in for a mid-year review of progress.

A grid for pupils to log their progress in all four skills.
