PowerPoint vocabulary: Un chien Un chat Un lapin Une souris Une perruche Un serpent Un cheval Un hamser Un cochon d'Inde Une tortue Un poisson rouge The first slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have mutiple choice questions. Then there are "what's missing?" slides. The final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Students ask and answer using the structures: Tu as un animal chez toi? Oui, J’ai _____________________________________ Non, je n’ai pas d’animal. As many students are confident talking about pets I've added 2 extension phrases which the students can also use: Quand j’étais petit(e) j’avais _______________________________ Je voudrais avoir _______________________________ I've also added a reminder about plurals: Normally we add an s (silent) e.g. J’ai un chien, j’ai deux chiens. If the noun ends in al we add replace al with aux e.g. un cheval, deux chevaux. If the noun already ends in the letter s we do not need to change it to make in plural e.g. une souris, deux souris. They task has been divided into 3 levels of challenge: All: answer main question. Draw number of animals. Most: Give an extra detail in your answer. Draw number of animals. Some: Give 2 extra details in your answer. Spell the number and animal perfectly in French. I play the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Game with the students using mini-whiteboards. The question asks how to say an animal in French and there are 4 possible French answers to chose from. Differentiate as follows: All: Choose a letter. Most: AND translate one remaining animal. Some: AND translate all 3 remaining animals.

There are 3 resources: 1. A "discussion mat" of general phrases for lively debate including: Tu es d’accord? = Do you agree? Je suis d’accord = I agree Je ne suis pas d’accord = I disagree Attend! = Wait! C’est ridicule! = That’s ridiculous! Tu es fou/folle?! = Are you crazy?! Ce n’est pas juste = It’s not fair! Tu plaisantes? = You must be joking/ are you joking? Check the pronunciation of these expression first. 2. A template to give opinions of clothes (colours included). Opinions: moche(s) démodé(e)(s) cool joli(e)(s) chic sophistiqué(e)(s) décontracté(e)(s) habillé(e)(s) pratique(s) sportif/ive(s) I ask the students to discuss the translation and pronunciation of these expressions. Extension: discuss and/or look up additional opinions. 3. A PowerPoint of various outfits. Simply pair up/ group the students (I find similar abilities work best together for this activity) and give them 1 minute to debate the outfits. Encourage the stronger students to come up with spontaneous phrases and to ask you for additional vocabulary/ phrases as necessary. It takes a little while to set this up thoroughly, but I loved watching the students expressing a range of opinions and really engaging with the material!

Cards: These English - Spanish matching cards can be used either to elicit the formation of the near future tense or to revise previous learning. Phrases: Voy a arreglar mi dormitorio. Vas a salir con tus amigos. Va a ir de compras. Vamos a montar en bicicleta. Vais a hacer el deporte. Van a montar en monopatín Voy a ir a la pista de hielo. Va a ir a un parquet temático. You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example, Level 1 = match the cards, discuss the pronunciation and the formation. Level 2 = match the cards and then have quick fire questions from Spanish to English, whereby 1 student closes their eyes and their partner reads out the Spanish cards which the student must translate into English from memory. Level 3 = The quick fire questions are from English to Spanish. Following checking there are 2 fun games to play, either pelmenism or a game I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students put the English language cards to one side and spread out the Spanish cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct Spanish card first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. Battleships: Expressions: Voy a Vas a Va a Vamos a Vais a Van a escuchar música. jugar con mi Playstation. montar en bicicleta dormir. salir con mis amigos. ir de compras. I use this battleships game (which can also be used as a lotto grid) to help students to practise their pronunciation and to reinforce new vocabulary and grammatical structures. Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions and discuss pronunciation. I then check the translations and drill with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen. I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the Spanish version and then try to play the game saying the Spanish phrases as far as possible from memory. I allow the really weak students to have the Spanish version next to the English version so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the Spanish version and the really strong students aim to refer back to the Spanish version as little as possible. During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation.

This is a pack of 14 PowerPoint slides of Spanish Tongue-twisters. I use these as a quick warmer activity at the beginning of lessons. I elicit the meaning and pronunciation of the words and then drill the students, gradually building up until we can say the whole tongue-twister. I challenge the students to say the tongue-twister 3 times in row as fast as they can and then ask for volunteers or choose individual students to say the tongue-twisters followed by praise and possibly awarding a house point! This is a great warm up activity that students of all ages love!

Bien. 10. Fatal. It encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. I always elicit a gesture to represent each greeting which can then be used for a fun game of Simon Says!

This presentation elicits the formation of various adverbs in Spanish including the irregular mal and bien. The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new grammar: working in pairs/teams, using their prior knowledge and knowledge of other languages to figure out the meanings: All: In pairs/groups translate the sentences.

I was inspired to make this motivational happiness PowerPoint having watched the fabulous TED Talk by psychologist Shawn Achor. Students discuss the questions on the first slide in pairs/groups: Discuss: What affects 90% of your happiness? How much of your job success can be predicted by your IQ? What other factors could affect it? What do you think the “happiness advantage” is? When you feel positive, how much more productive is your brain than when you feel negative, neutral or stressed? What does dopamine do to your brain? Extra: How do you think you can train your brain to be more positive? Then we work through the answers on the following 5 slides. I show it to classes at the beginning of term and before exam season. It could also be used to set a happiness project/challenge at the beginning of term. it may be of use to school counselors. Enjoy!

Instructions Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions. I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen.

I allow the really weak students to have the French version next to the English version so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the French version and the really strong students aim to refer back to the French version as little as possible. This really helps the students to memorise the vocabulary/structures. During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation. This is followed by whole class drilling of pronunciation mistakes. Enjoy!
