French Directions (basic) A simple worksheet - but still including some extension - to consolidate basic directions in French. If learners have already looked at basic directions, this would make a suitable worksheet for cover. What’s included? Slide 1: Reading with a simple map and sentences to work out where each place is. Instructions in French and English. Slide 2: As slide 1 but with the English instructions removed. Slide 3: Answer sheet. Prior language needed: pour aller au/à la/au/aux prenez allez tout droit tournez à droite à gauche première deuxième troisième traversez le pont poste piscine cinéma pharmacie gare gare routière la maison de M.

A simple Christmas card in Spanish to colour and/or fill in .

A few sheets put together for Year 7s to learn Spanish vocabulary about Christmas. Matching/wordsearch/puzzle. Should last at least a whole lesson. They can always make their own puzzles or Christmas cards when they’ve done all these. Lots of colouring, too ;)

Year 7 French KS3 French This 4 page resource can be helpful during the first week of the first term to settle and get to know your groups, especially where they are from different feeder primaries and you’re not sure what level of MFL they are coming in at. It could also be useful for when groupings/sets are still changing in the second or third week of the first term…yes this does happen… For lower ability pupils offer a choice of which page to start first as the first is a bit wordy! Space to add the name of your school. For differentiation ideas, try putting French words jumbled up on the board (bonjour/au revoir etc.) or famous French people. Ask higher ability children to write a mini paragraph about themselves using personal information and so on. Here is the Spanish version: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/year-7-first-spanish-lesson-11976564

*Note* the preview doesn’t show some symbols/text correctly! A self-contained lesson covering reading/writing/speaking/listening (if you want to do all four skills in one lesson!) for the first page of this unit. It can be used on its own as an introduction to the unit, or as consolidation if you’ve already introduced the vocabulary and structures. Built-in differentiation and instructions on how you could use each slide. If you are technically minded, you can make the powerpoint automatically change date in Spanish each time you open it. Type “How to Insert the Current Date/Time in Microsoft PowerPoint” to find out how to do it. (Not allowed exernal links on here.)

Numbers/places in town/character adjectives: French basics revision. Harking back to the FCSE. This was a handy sheet for level 4 revision… Now it would serve well as a good cover sheet if groups have covered the vocab’ I’ve put in the title. Even if they haven’t it would be a good dictionary worksheet for cover. Year 8 and possibly lower ability year 9.

Simple introduction to basic food stuffs. Includes vocab’ and pictures, a noughts and crosses and an activity you could use to match pictures and words if the pictures were cut out and mixed up. Suits Year 7 or low ability.
