Versatile worksheet: use to consolidate language following presentation / a homework / a revision sheet / a starter. Top half is a word cloud with 'the basics' vocabulary. Instructions to cross off words they know, circle and look up ones they don't. Bottom half is an 'odd one out' table prompting them to decide which is the odd one out and be prepared to explain why they made that choice.

35 unique cards covering the basics including greetings, first questions and responses, days of the week and months of the year. Distribute the cards. The person with 'DEBUT' begins and asks the first question 'Qui a bonjour?' this prompts the next person who has the phrase 'J'ai bonjour' written on their card. They shout this out followed by their own question, 'Qui a au revoir?' The game continues like this until the last person ends with 'La Fin!' Excellent for vocabulary consolidation and to inject energy into the lesson. Gets pupils interacting and speaking and listening. Brilliant for revision lessons for all year groups.

32 unique animals on these cards including pets, farmyard animals, wild animals and a few extra. Distribute the cards. The person with 'DEBUT' begins and asks the first question 'Qui a un hamster?' this prompts the next person who has the phrase 'J'ai un hamster' written on their card. They shout this out followed by their own question, 'Qui a un chien?' The game continues like this until the last person ends with 'La Fin!' Excellent for vocabulary consolidation and to inject energy into the lesson. Gets pupils interacting and speaking and listening.

There are 11 different colour cards and 15 different school equipment cards. You may wish to combine these in order to give one card per pupil. The pupil with the card ‘DEBUT’ begins and asks their question ‘Qui a bleu?’ The next pupil has a card saying ‘J’ai bleu’ and they shout this out before asking their own question ‘Qui a rouge?’ NB. You may prefer to use the French-Digit version of the cards which requires pupils to listen to the French ‘Qui a bleu?’ and answer ‘J’ai bleu or J’ai blue’. This increases the level of challenge. The game continues, each pupil shouting out their card and prompting the next pupil until the last pupil arrives at ‘LA FIN’. Once pupils are used to the game you will find that they enjoy racing against the clock. I usually do 2 or 3 rounds without the clock and then give them a chance to beat their record.

Then the player with 'j'ai cinq' shouts this out and their question and so on until the last player shouts 'La fin!'

40 unique cards each with an adjective or describing phrase. 3 versions included: French only. French into English, Low ability.
