Very popular with all my classes, especially more challenging groups! Add up vocab test results for each pupils and then write who's got the highest running total in the 'Current Wordmeister Supreme' box. Great competition!

Pupils stick this sheet into their books at the start of the year. The idea is that they, another pupil or you sign a brick in the wall whenever they use a spontaneous phrase in French. At the end of every other row, give a reward of some sort.

Make these into cards. Then pupils have to pick one at random and say something: a question, a statement, a positive thing, a negative thing, something in the future or something in the past (each represented by a symbol).

I use this as a starter activity. Without showing this slide or telling pupils what they will be doing, ask them to write 5 words from the topic they did last lesson. Don’t mention anything about points, etc. After they’ve written the words, show them this slide and tell them to award the points for each letter of each word and then a total for all words. If you want to, tell them (for example) that each accent doubles the value of its letter. It’s a simple and competitive activity.

The traditional Os & Xs game for pairwork. You could either fill in the squares for the pupils, or they could do it themselves. Phrases in French to use when playing are at the bottom of the sheet, along with the instructions.

Throughout a lesson, pupils could fill in what they are learning into the outline of a brain. Great way to show progression.

Great for revision of vocab. A pre-coloured wordlist for words the pupils don't know (red), words they're not sure of (yellow/amber) and words they definitely know (green).

French - Buying an ice cream

(0)
This PPT introduces the vocab necessary for buying an ice cream. It begins with a dice-throwing translation activity, which can be easily edited for your own vocab. There is then a conversation buying ice cream, which students must put into the correct order. Then the vocab is introduced. Finally, students play noughts and crosses in two teams to practise the vocab. Simply click on the relevant O or X when students answer correctly.

German - Sports Reading Challenge

The text is on the topic of sports and is aimed more at KS3. In 2 teams, pupils choose a word to find in the text. The pupils don’t know what each word is worth. Click on the word they have chosen when they have correctly identified it in the text and their score will be revealed. The winning team is the team with the highest score once all words have been found in the text.
