A series of questions to go with a video I found on the internet about Christmas. Here is link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwAnG8k1bC4 Good for Yr 7,8,9 for a bit of culture to put them in the Christmas spirit. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)

Here is the latest trapdoor activity I have designed for Christmas. It is like a letter to Santa that French kids always write at this sort of time to ask Santa for the presents they want for Christmas. I have also slipped in a few French Christmas traditions. I will do this with my Yr7 and Yr8 in the last week before the Christmas break. Joyeux Noël à tous et bonnes fêtes de fin d’année. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)

A presentation about “le verlan” originally used in suburbs of Paris, now spoken widely by French teenagers. Cultural interest. Would probably suit KS4 best. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback :-)

I have designed this worksheet for my KS4 Spanish GCSE class for them to practise preterite and imperfect tense and also vocab related to topic. Looking up meaning of verbs, text with verbs to put in correct tense, matching up sentences.

A worksheet with some questions on Québec which I did with my Year 8 after studying "La Francophonie". Students answered the questions in pairs and created a Powerpoint presentation which they then shared with the rest of the class.

This is a trapdoor activity to get your students to practise their speaking skills. It is played in pairs. Each person chooses an option for each sentence in their head. One starts reading the text and trying to find out the other’s choices. Each time they make a choice, the partner nods or shakes his/her head. If the choice is correct the person continues until they get it wrong. When they get it wrong, the other person has a go. The aim of the game is to finish first. I did this with my Yr10 students and they enjoyed it a lot! Enjoy and don’t forget to feedback!
