School subjects and numbers

Can be altered for other MFL subjects or change the numbers to words or questions. For Plouf- pupils have to get accross the river by jumping from one stone to another, saying the number as they go. If they hesitate they fall in and the class shout 'Plouf'

Students are given copies of the pictures and encouraged to discuss the outfits using the prompt phrases.

Examples in French and German

Starter activity. 1 pupil faces the board, 1 faces away. Pupil facing the board has to describe the picture without using the words on the board. Timer added to slide.

Starter: using language knowledge to skim and scan a text. Understanding a text without using a dictionary. Running dictation task with extension questions.

Can be used as a starter or a main. First Powerpoint contains trapdoor activity and a literacy task. Second Powerpoint contains long German words. I get students to guess the pronunciation and then they have to try and work out the meaning of the compound nouns.

Great for boosting confidence in speaking exams. The examples I have given are in German but you can easily adapt it to different languages and abilities. You'll need to print off picture stimulus and give each student a bingo card. In small groups, students pick up a picture card and create a sentence about the picture which includes a grammar element from the bingo square. The rest of the group must assess if the sentence is grammatically correct. If it is, then students tick off that square and the next person has their turn. The winner is the first person to tick off all squares.
