These 'Parlez!' resources support students when speaking in French. This support sheet encourages students to agree or disagree with others in different ways.

I have a set of these in the classroom and use them with pupils when they're doing speaking work. There are phrases like giving your opinion, what to say and do if you can't think of the word, etc.

I have this display in all language classrooms. Pupils use this as reference for speaking phrases, along with stick-in sheets.

Using the template on the slides, show one sentence at a time on the board. At the end, type in the three boxes three possible answers, but make them obscure. Pupils vote on the ending they want (A, B or C). They then race to translate the sentence on their mini boards.

Taboo is a great and challenging activity to do with the pupils. Here are some examples. The word the other pupil(s) has/have to guess is in bold on each card and the person with that word has to describe it in French without mentioning the other words underneath.

When you click on the slide, the picture very slowly reveals. Pupils could then, with the vocab in front of them, race to be the first to name the place. The final slide is a game of our famous 'Donate or Steal'. In teams (blue & red), pupils answer a question and choose a square from the opponents’ grid. Their opponents then get that score. They are allowed to steal one score only from their opponents throughout the game. An ‘X’ is a wipeout and wipes the opponents’ score.

Perfect practice for GCSE students and their speaking skills. A simple but effective board game, using counters and dice, practising talking about where you live. At different places on the board, students must, for example, talk about advantages and disadvantages, say where they would like to live in the future, etc.

Team game. Pupils choose a number from the grid. When you click on the number and reveal a word or phrase, they must translate it to gain a point for their team.

Teach pupils how to form and when (and when not!) to use the present participle in French.

One of my personal favourites! Have a reading text in the box. In 2 teams, pupils choose a word to find in the text. The pupils don’t know what each word is worth. Click on the word they have chosen when they have correctly identified it in the text and their score will be revealed. The winning team is the team with the highest score once all words have been found in the text. 3 slides with different scores.

You must buy sentences at every shop. Each sentence costs 1€. Each sentence is worth a different amount of winnings. Draw your Euros into your winning column. If you run out of Euros in your bank, you can use your winnings to buy sentences. The winners have the most Euros. Full instructions in the notes section of the PPT.

Groups of 3 or 4. Choose a pupil at random to choose a number. Click on the number (on your computer) to reveal a word. All pupils have 30 seconds to write a sentence using that word. The most impressive (and correct) sentence wins a point for their team.

Use this PPT to introduce directions to pupils in French. There is a map with an animated arrow to show the directions as well as giving the French. Pupils then match the French to the English in their books.

A card sort, allowing pupils to match the questions to the answers across different topic areas.

Introducing the time in German. Starts with a reminder of the time in English, then introduces it in German and ends with mini whiteboard practice.

This is a really fun activity to do with a whole class! If they have the phrase that's just been said in one language, they stand up and say it in the opposite language. They then say the second phrase they have on their card. By the end of the activity, everyone in the class should have said a phrase in French about daily routine and time. Full instructions are on the bottom of the document.

Idea lesson starter after being taught the present tense in French. Pupils find the 6 correct present tense phrases from the grid. When they click on the phrase, it will either show a tick or a cross.

Recap on near future phrases using this Have I Got News For You-style resource.

The pictures and phrases are placed around the room (several copies). Pupils work in groups of 3 or 4. Each person has 30 seconds to go up to the pictures and memorise as much information as possible without speaking. They return to their group and relay as much as possible. Pupils take it in turns to do the same. Each person has 2 chances to do this.

A Battleships-style game to practise the present tense of regular and irregular verbs, as well as the perfect tense of common verbs, using both 'avoir' and 'être'. The verbs used as examples are: écouter finir vendre faire aller être
