Snakes and ladders template for free

I saw this idea on Pinterest and had to take it to my lessons. We studied the daily routine in German and then students completed this circle with all of the hours of the day. You can adapt it to different levels by asking them to just write words or to extend it a bit more and write sentences. Hope you like it or find it useful :)

A resource that you can adapt to any language and level to work with on International Women’s Day. A wordsearch with adjectives, some research about past and present women and a writing task. I chose these 8 women but you could choose any or ask the students to choose some themselves! For the writing task some of my students choose to describe someone in their family instead of a “famous” woman, which I think it’s great! Feel free to adapt the activity however you like, translate it to the language you teach, add or delete things… anything you want, but please celebrate International Women’s Day!

I created a GCSE survival kit for my Yr11 German students and for my Yr11 tutees. I have uploaded the German and the English version in case you want to use it :) Hope you find it useful or it inspires you to do something similar.

A sentence builder that I created to use as an extension to the topic “Wir gehen aus” from Echo Express 2. It’s in both PDF and Word document format, so you can adapt it as you want :)

Some years ago I saw the idea on TES of creating a boardgame where students had to “go to a Christmas market” and buy things. I have now created this that I will be using with different year groups adapting the grammar to their level. Hope you like it :)

A worksheet for students to do on the first day after the Christmas holidays. It can be used for different year groups depending on what you ask them to write (eg. lower levels could draw and write just words, higher level whole sentences or paragraphs in their books) Hope you like it!

I saw this text in Spanish long ago and I thought it was really good. I translated it into English to work with it in PSHE with my yr11s. It is a text talking about the industry of tobacco without telling you that they are talking about that, I gave it to my students and asked them to tell me when they realised what it was about. I think it has so many possibilities, I used it to get to know my students better and see their views on smoking.

A worksheet to give to your students about everything they need to remember when doing a writing in German. I adapted a powerpoint someone made and created a worksheet to give the students to stick in their books. If you find any mistakes please let me know! Hope you like it

End of unit test for units 1 and 2 from the AQA GCSE German. The listening is the one you can find in Kerboodle. I just took activities from both Foundation and Higher units 1&2 and put them together. I hope you find it useful!

Baubles in French, German and Spanish I will put together 4 of them to create a 3D one that the children can take home. With older groups (Y7,8) I will ask them to write something on a blank one, like what they are going to do for Christmas or something about Christmas in the TL country. Hope you like it :)

A worksheet for students to do on the first day after the holidays, it could be after Christmas or after summer holidays. It can be used for different year groups depending on what you ask them to write (eg. lower levels just words, higher level whole sentences or paragraphs in their books) Hope you like it!

A worksheet to write about Christmas holidays on the first lesson back. It can be adapted to different levels (eg.lower levels you can ask them to draw and write single words and for higher levels you can ask them to write full sentences) Hope you like it!

French version of the song “Jingle Bells”, in French “Vive le vent”. Students first work with some of the vocabulary as a starter and then listen to the song filling in the gaps. It includes powerpoint and worksheet for the students.

This is a game that you can use to study/ revise Christmas vocabulary. It’s a version of the game “Cluedo” where students have to find out who has killed the Ginger man. On the second slide you have the vocabulary that maybe students don’t know so you can leave it up during the game. Instructions are included, you would just need to print out the cards so you can randomly choose one of each + a place and give it to the teacher. Alternatively you can just choose one from each without telling the students and they need to find out. If you want to make it more personalised, you can put your picture on top of “Frau Rodríguez” picture and you can be one of the suspects. Hope you like it!

French version of the song “This is Halloween” from the movie “Nightmare before Christmas”. Students first work with some of the vocabulary as a starter and then listen to the song filling in the gaps. It includes powerpoint and worksheet for the students.

This is a whole lesson planned around the song “Qué bonito es querer” by the Spanish Singer Manuel Carrasco. You will work vocabulary, grammar and Spanish in a real context. That is why you will be able to use it with KS3 but also KS4 as it includes verb tenses that they will need to use for GCSE The resource includes the powerpoint presentation with a Starter and different activities to work with the song as well as a final fill in the gaps once we have already done a few activities with the text. Hope you enjoy it!

A version of Spot it! for language learners. It can be used in any language as long as you have learned food and sports! You play just like the game “Spot it!”. All you need to do is print and cut the cards and you will have your own set! It has 31 cards so depending on your class size you can print more sets. Hope you like it!

A German bundle with three resources that you can adapt to any level to work with on International Women’s Day. Students will practice grammar and vocabulary, reading comprehension (could also be done as a speaking discussion) and writing. For the writing task some of my students choose to describe someone in their family instead of a “famous” woman, which I think it’s great! I hope you like it!

This is a revision carousel where you can do a learning by stations. You divide the class in 4 groups and each one spend 10 minutes on each activity (or more, depending on how long is your lesson). Each activity is explained and can easily be adapted to any topic. I make it more exciting by giving students points for each activity they finish and giving prizes at the end depending on how many points they have!
