A very quick task with 10 short phrases following “Ich habe…” Pupils choose the correct ending for each adjective. The indefinite article is shown, so this is really a quick task useful for checking progress partway through a lesson or as part of a plenary, or a starter/revision task. Six copies on one side of A4 for easy photocopying.
A set of 3 short role plays with one side of each scripted in French and the other giving instructions in English of what to say. Suitable for KS3 speaking practice and maybe for KS4 revision of vocab, works well as pair work.
It’s just a list of questions I’ve used with KS3 pupils on the theme of giving personal information. It covers most things! The list is in French only. See my other resources for more tasks to work with these questions.
A set of 10 questions about holidays, colour-coded for past/present/future. Pupils can use as practice for a speaking test: they could write and then say their own answers, ask a partner, use as a group listening task, or ask you the questions and note your answers.
A simple task to help pupils practice using the comparative in German. I have used this for a homework task. Suggested answers included on page 2 of the document. Pupils build sentences around the words supplied, e.g. Rom - Moskau - warm becomes Rom ist wärmer als Moskau.
A photo-copiable sheet of 32 dominoes to practise French numbers up to 40. Cut up along the lines shown to create a set which works well in a small group.
A set of questions to elicit personal information, commonly covered early in a beginners French course. Prompts are given in French to begin the answers. 3 sets fit on one page, reducing photocopying!
A short French text giving simple information about school subjects. Use as a starter for a quick comprehension Q&A/reading aloud/adapt to different information.
A "cluedo" style task, could be used as a starter: one pupil chooses a person, a house and a detail from the list and the others (whole class/small group) must say different combinations of the vocab until they work out which one was chosen. Make it more complicated with a system to say if any of the guesses have any correct elements ("un/deux points") or give no clues, which just makes everyone get more practise at the phrases!
A set of descriptions in French of English dishes: pupils have to work out what they are. Answers provided, make sure you remove them before using the resource! You could make this easier by providing the answers jumbled, or extend it by asking pupils to write their own descriptions.
A French starter activity with suggested chunks of sentences in the past tense about various festivals. Could be used as part of a true/false activity, or pronunciation practice. Could be extended into a piece of speaking or writing, using this as scaffolding.
A set of short descriptions of different foods in French: pupils have to guess what foods they are. Answers are shown - take these away before using the resource! Possible adaptations include providing the answers jumbled to make it easier, or asking pupils to write their own descriptions to extend the task.
French worksheet which builds up in stages, ready to construct the near future tense: write the English for some time markers, some infinitives and finally some phrases which could complete sentences. You would then practise using the aller paradigm to put it all together.
A set of sentences with corresponding pictures to show the use of the comparative in French (plus/moins/aussi ... que). Use as a starter where pupils must adapt the sentences to include their own choice of vocab; could be extended into a listening task where they say if each other's sentence is true/false or possible/impossible.
Straight-forward gapfill for avoir and être in the present tense - complete the English/French spellings. Copy-friendly version with 2 worksheets per page.
A worksheet with five different sets of patterns for pupils to continue, using simple 2D geometric shapes. Simple uncluttered presentation, suitable for children with autism. Sheets can be cut into five strips and presented separately.
A set of cards for pupils to practise counting up to six. Each card has a printed number and corresponding amount of pictures of clothes pegs. Pupils attach the clothes pegs to the card, one to each picture. Clear and simple graphics, suitable for children with autism.
A sheet showing six different length rulers. Print it twice, cut out the ruler pictures from one sheet and ask pupils to lay each picture on the corresponding ruler on the complete sheet. For extra durability, laminate the sheet and the pictures and use Velcro to hold them in place. Clear and uncluttered presentation, suitable for children with autism.
This straightforward task card helps a pupil to understand when a task is complete. Write their name and what the task is on the sheet, then tick a box when each part is completed. This sheet shows 10 boxes to tick, but just cut off the second row if you want 5, or adapt it yourself for any other number. I have used this with tasks such as "Count out the right number of tokens" - I say "three", pupil counts out 3 tokens, then I tick the first box, and so on. Useful with children with autism, who sometimes struggle to understand when a task is complete. Suitable for laminating and use a whiteboard pen.
