Based on French sentence builders (primary part 1, the Language Gym), here is a very simplified powerpoint to recap feelings and adjectives. For each slide pupils have to choose the sentence that matches the pictures. They can write their answer on their mini-whiteboard or say it orally. I made this powerpoint for my lower ability group who struggle to write in the target language. The last slide can be used to recap all the vocabulary. Tell them an English sentence and pupils write the translation using numbers and letters. To go alongside the powerpoint is a worksheet to working on writing and reading skills.

Here is a powerpoint presentation teaching snack food and various drinks at the cafe. It includesdifferentiated writing tasks (guess the drinks or the snack by reading the clues/ translation, complete words with missing vowels, complete the sentences with the missing information using translation, replace pictures by the correct sentences, spot the mistakes and finally a listening task). I have attached a worksheet that goes with the reading, writing and listening tasks.

I prepared these resources for my year 6 primary children who find learning the French Alphabet a bit challenging. First slide goes through the sound of each letter while singing. The second task is a listening task where the children have to listen and circle the correct letter. Third task is another listening task where the pupils have to listen and write the correct missing letters. The last task is reading/ writing/ cultural task where the letters have been replaced by their sound and the pupils have to work out the names of famous French people/ brands. Then they have to link the name with correct pictures. Finally I made another worksheet where they have to work out the names of celebrities/ football players.

I created these two powerpoints, worksheet and snakes and ladders board game using famous football players in order to motivate my lower ability classes (heavy on boys mainly interested in football) and famous Disney characters and female players (girls). It can be used as a way to teach saying our name and asking someone their name, introducing French numbers up to twenty, saying how we feel and finally saying how old we are. Powerpoint activities: 1 practising ‘je m’appelle’ with famous people (speaking or writing on mini-whiteboard) 2Conversation model (to be used as a model) 3 Recap greetings 4 Recap saying our age 5 recap numbers up to 20 6 short paragraphs with famous characters to practise name and age 7 Introduce how to say how we feel 8 Guess the feeling (famous characters) 9 Encore une fois activity (guess what your partner has chosen for each sentence. Each time you guess it wrong, you start from the beginning) 10 Blockbuster (game boys vs girls) 4 of the same colours to win 11 noughts and crosses (boys vs girls) 12 video on French football team (predict language (greetings, numbers, feelings mainly that will be used) 13 Recap name, age and feeling with famous characters 14 Extend vocabulary on feelings explaining the reasons using adjectives 16 Possibility of playing charades with feelings and reasons 17 show emoji/pictures guess the feeling and the adjective 18 blockbuster game 19 Encore une fois with adjectives

Here are various resources (a powerpoint presentation, an A4 sheet to laminate in order to draw correct number of candles to say the age, snap cards to practise counting, some bingo cards and a snake and ladder board to practise saying j’ai…ans). I started to teach French to SEN year 7 and year 8 and made these resources to support the pupils with speaking and listening tasks.

Here is a powerpoint presentation to practise food and quantities. Slide 1: match writing to picture. Slide 2: guess my partner choice or pair work mouthe and guess. Slide 3: complete the conversation with correct word. Slide5: feedback Slide 6: speaking task noughts and crosses

Here is presentation to recap some aches/illness in French and suggest some solutions.

Here is a powerpoint to teach hobbies/leisure. It’s an old presentation but you can change some of the picture to modernise it.

Here is a powerpoint presentation to practise comparison in French using plus or moins que + adjective.

Here is a task I made for my end of the year lessons. You have to cut the pictures, the description and the names and the children have to match them after reading the description. It is in English as the language would be too complex for my primary children. This can be used as an end of year task.

Read the clues in French and work out which monument/landmark is described.

I created a powerpoint presentation on the French Revolution in English to teach my year 6 about this important historical period of French history. It is a condensed version and it highlights the main facts. I have attached a worksheet with questions (also in English) that children/pupils have to answer while going through the powerpoint.

Here are three powerpoints to introduce adjectives to describe ourselves. One powerpoint aims at practising ‘je suis’ and the other focuses on ‘il est’ and elle est’. The third one is a mixed of ‘je suis’, ‘il est’ and ‘elle est’. I have added other famous characters from Roald Dahl and David Walliams. I have also included two differentiated worksheets to practise writing ‘je suis’ .

Here are various resources linked to the King Charles III’s. The first powerpoint contains some challenging language but it goes a worksheet (cut strips of paper and match the French paragraphs with the English ones) in order to help the pupils understand tricky language. Linked to this powerpoint is an easier translation task. The pupils have to work out the meaning of key vocabulary and label the pictures with the correct French word. The second powerpoint only has key words to practise. I get them to choose 4 or 6 key words from the last slide and play bingo. Linked to this simplified powerpoint, I have attached a wordsearch and simple cross-words. There are two differentiated reading tasks (royal family, colour of hair, eyes, family relation and age) and a very simple on King Charles and pets/animals. Pupils will have to fill in the missing words.

Here is a powerpoint I prepare to recap/ introduce gradually numbers 1 to 100. It aims at practising saying, reading and writing prices in euros. Prior to this lesson I taught various food and drinks and wanted to reuse this topic to learn how to say prices in euros. The first few slides aim at recaping numbers. From slide 5 I introduce how to say prices with decimals and want the children to write on their whiteboard or the attached worksheet the prices in words. There is plenty of written on each slide to help the pupil write the words correctly. From slides 9 I want the pupils to guess the prices of essential items (speaking), I can only help them by telling them ‘plus eleve’/ ‘inferieur’ or ‘plus bas’ /‘superieur’ . From slide 17 the pupils have to read the words and write the prices in words.Then I introduce numbers 70 to 100. From slide 25, pupils have to write prices in words and then from slide 30 they have to write the prices as a number.On the next slides I introduce the Euro coins and bank notes.

Here is a powerpoint to practise /describe the colour of pets. I included two slides to recap pets and colours first. Then I explain the rules with colour adjectives. Next I show some pictures and the pupils have to work out and write down on their whiteboard the colour of the pets. There are also a ‘correct or incorrect’ and ‘choose the correct answers’ tasks. I included two differentiated reading and writing tasks where the pupils have to apply the grammatical rules with colours.

Here are a couple of worksheets on fruit (label the fruit) and writing short sentences. You will also find a speaking task (guess your partner’s choice for each opinion).

Here are some resources (matching cards which can be used as memory game if you turn them over, an assessment or a reading task match the time with the correct clock) 5 in a row time game, and two writing and reading tasks) to practise time in French.

Here are few resources I have prepared for my year 6 pupils. You will find an ‘encore une fois’ speaking/reading activity (one child picks some food or a drink and the other child has to guess what his/her partner has chosen. Every time they get it wrong, they read from the start). You will also find a worksheet on food and opinions. I have also prepared a snakes and ladders board with pictures to practise saying name of food and drinks. I have also included a 5 in a 5 differentiated row board game that they can play in pairs (one with written support, one without). To help them design a food poster and sorting food into food groups, I have found some French poster. This can used as a way to recap food and drinks. Finally there is a blockbuster game (boys vs girls) with food and drinks.

Here is a bundle of various reading and writing tasks to practise French numbers 1 to 60. I have created these tasks to keep my lower ability pupils busy. These don’t require a great amount of writing but help them learn their French numbers in a creative way. You will find a couple of puzzle tasks (match the digit with the words), a colour matching task, ‘spot the correct spelling’ task, a battle-ship task and a writing task with plenty of support.
