A resource pack in French based around St Valentine’s Day for Years 7 to 11. Variety of worksheets (wordsearch/spot the difference) so you have something for each year group every year. There is a cover page for each year group so you could print separate booklets. I’ve found a typo: amoureuz should be amoureux - apologies! Amusez-vous bien. I will not be editing this resource any more because: …this resource has been upgraded. You can find my year-group specific work booklets here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?authorId=232746&q=Valentine%27s%20Day&shop=Polly_Glott These grow in complexity across the year groups and use language your learners will probably already familiar with as well as Valentine’s vocabulary. This means the booklets are great as an end of half-term or cover resource.

Year 7 French KS3 French This 4 page resource can be helpful during the first week of the first term to settle and get to know your groups, especially where they are from different feeder primaries and you’re not sure what level of MFL they are coming in at. It could also be useful for when groupings/sets are still changing in the second or third week of the first term…yes this does happen… For lower ability pupils offer a choice of which page to start first as the first is a bit wordy! Space to add the name of your school. For differentiation ideas, try putting French words jumbled up on the board (bonjour/au revoir etc.) or famous French people. Ask higher ability children to write a mini paragraph about themselves using personal information and so on. Here is the Spanish version: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/year-7-first-spanish-lesson-11976564

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… :)

A few sheets put together for Year 7s to learn Spanish vocabulary about Christmas. Matching/wordsearch/puzzle. Should last at least a whole lesson. They can always make their own puzzles or Christmas cards when they’ve done all these. Lots of colouring, too ;)

Powerpoint introducing healthy and unhealthy activities. Fits well with équipe nouvelle 2. Take out the sounds (or turn off your speakers!) if your class might get silly or you are easily irritated ;) Print out slides as handouts for weaker groups to read from and/or note new vocabulary. Could also use slides as starting point for lesson before showing full powerpoint.

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 ;)

French Directions (basic) A simple worksheet - but still including some extension - to consolidate basic directions in French. If learners have already looked at basic directions, this would make a suitable worksheet for cover. What’s included? Slide 1: Reading with a simple map and sentences to work out where each place is. Instructions in French and English. Slide 2: As slide 1 but with the English instructions removed. Slide 3: Answer sheet. Prior language needed: pour aller au/à la/au/aux prenez allez tout droit tournez à droite à gauche première deuxième troisième traversez le pont poste piscine cinéma pharmacie gare gare routière la maison de M. Hughes If you like this, have a look at my shop for more. Happy teaching! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Polly_Glott

A very simple card with French words to create, colour and fold.

Spanish directions Reading and Writing A simple one page worksheet to consolidate simple directions in Spanish. Bilingual instructions.There are two pages as the second one has the instructions solely in Spanish. The vocabulary is given at the start of the worksheet for reference and copying into books. Task 1 - matching directions symbols with short sentences Task 2 - read the mini maps and write down the directions in Spanish Task 3 - open-ended task to draw own map and write directions in Spanish Vocabulary used: ¿para ir a…? How do you get to …? pase go past hasta up to cruce cross siga carry on tome take suba go up baje go down tuerza turn todo recto straight on al final de la calle to the end of the street está lejos/¿está lejos? it’s far/is it far? la primera calle the first street la segunda calle the second street la tercera calle the third street a la derecha to the right a la izquierda to the left los semáforos at the traffic lights la rotonda the roundabout la plaza the square If you like this, there are a couple of puzzles available to go with it… https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/spanish-directions-12399509

Spanish Easter Booklet Year 7 / Grade 6 Spanish Easter vocabulary: This is an 8 page booklet of basic Spanish Easter vocabulary matching, colouring and puzzles with answers. It is appropriate as a stand-alone document to introduce Easter vocabulary. Alternatively, it could supplement your learning on festivals. You can use each of the 8 sheets independently as needed within your lessons or print as an A4 booklet ready for your learners to work through. The booklet begins with a cover page to colour in to help settle your group. In-built differentiation or challenge working through the Easter booklet means that all children should be able to access the learning independently, allowing you to help those who most need it. It would therefore also work well as a cover lesson. Vocabulary: BASIC feliz Semana Santa, una cesta de Pascua, una cruz, una campana, un conejo, un huevo, un cordero, unos tulipanes, un patito, una iglesia, unos narcisos, un pollito, chocolate CHALLENGE las etrellas, los potes de pintura, la mariposa, el césped, el cielo, azul claro, como quieres This booklet is intended for Year 7 learners and helps them develop basic knowledge of Easter vocabulary in Spanish. For extension and challenge, you could: • Ask learners to write a paragraph about why they like or dislike Easter • Say what they receive at Easter, what they do and where they go • Prepare an Easter card for a friend, teacher or relative using their new vocabulary • Make an Easter board game • Write about why Easter is an important festival • Research the differences between Easter in their country and France and write a summary in English or the TL. If you find this resource useful, look for the whole pack of booklets with many more varieties of activities for Year 7 through to Year 11. Each booklet is different, so you’ll never need to look for Easter resources again. I’m due to revamp years 8-11, so bear with me! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/semana-santa-12104731 I also have other Easter resources in Spanish and French you might like to look at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/pascua-12103413 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/semana-santa-12104731 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/easter-and-year-7-basics-lesson-resources-11840423 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/semana-santa-juego-y-actividades-11847281 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/semana-santa-y-informaci-n-personal-juego-y-m-s-11847286 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/Spanish-easter-lesson-with-a-twist-11840429

Word search on Spanish words around Christmas. Also translate them into English.

A simple, beginners’ (low ability) worksheet to help introduce some introductions vocabulary. Reading exercise to consolidate at the end. Would make a good cover lesson resource. Exercises to expand on the content could be: use the vocab’ list as a starter, but insist pupils work out pronunciation of words in French also. Carry out a speaking activity in pairs using the vocabulary and/or text given. Superlearners should include higher level vocabulary. Extend those who find this easy by asking them to create their own text like the one at the end.

French j’ai mal à + article rule. A powerpoint to use to introduce the j’ai mal à + article rule. Consolidates body parts: pied/dos/nez/genou/tête/jambe/main/épaule/estomac/dents The final slide goes over the rule.

SPANISH HW VOCABULARY SHEETS If you use Viva 1, this is for Module 2 Mi tiempo libre. What does it contain? 7 weeks of vocabulary learning to print *How should I use it? * Give out as individual sheets or trim for each week. Week 8, well, Christmas will be upon you! You could always push these into next half term as they are useful words for any topic. I’m hoping to make some activities to go alongside this so watch out! Words in italics are extra ones which will be useful and relevant but could be left out if you wanted or used as extension.

9 pages of vocabulary tests to go with the lists I've made. The first few have some of the test in English and some in Spanish so pupils write the opposite language. Later on, pupils must just write in the Spanish. The final page is a blank grid in case you don't like any of those options!! Buena suerte.

Class survey. Sports would have been introduced first. Use the survey to practise the question 'Tu aimes ... ?' plus different sports. There is a variety of answers that can be given to the questions with different symbols for each. Pupils mark the answers on the grid using these symbols. Model the conversation and how to do the survey before the whole class does it. Extension work in the grey sections encourages further development of conversational language. Check learning with short performances of the conversations and/or follow up with writing up of some conversations.

A selection of Christmas vocabulary learning sheets for Year 7. They should fill at least one whole lesson. If you like this, have a look at my pack of Christmas resources for Years 7 to 11. You’ll never need to scrabble around for different stuff as each year group has different content overall so can be used each year. (A wise investment.) May also be useful for cover lessons around Christmas time.

A Tarsia puzzle. Search for Tarsia software so you can open it! Could be a good starter to check progress once vocab’ covered/basis for discussion of new vocabulary if introducing the vocabulary as new. Good for pairs to discuss language. Could set a time limit to create some competition! Contains vocab’ such as être/avoir/family members. The puzzle has to be cut out into triangles and then placed French to English to create a shape.
