Print this writing wheel out for pupils to use when writing a simple short paragraph about where they live. Work from the centre outwards, using the extra phrases around the edge for extra information.

Pupils work in pairs to read the paragraph about rooms in the house. Each pupil has the same paragraph, but with gaps in different places. By reading to each other, they fill in the gaps in their own paragraph, promoting speaking, listening and transcription skills.

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.

Activities in town. To start with, show the phrases for the activities with the words jumbled up. Pupils can then work out (if possible!) what the correct word order should be, before being told what the activities are. The second activity for the pupils is one where all the images of the activities are on the board and when you say one of the activities in French, they raise their hands, according to what symbol is by the picture. Finally, pupils translate the sentences into English at the end of the PPT. The sentences are saying what you can do and where.

Use this PPT to present the rooms of the house in French. Each room on the floor plans is a link to the corresponding slide with the vocab. Click on links to take you to the upstairs floor plan and to the game at the end of the PPT to practise what the students have just learned (Connect 4).

To begin with, pupils are introduced to the new vocab of saying what there is to do in town. Then, pupils raise their hands, according to the activity you mention (right, left or both hands). After this, pupils choose A, B or C to translate (the options are not shown until they choose). It makes translation a little more fun! Finally, pupils translate the sentences about what you can do in town.

Press F5 and the PPT will flick through the flags very quickly. To make it stop/start, simply press ‘S’. A greater starter activity, following teaching pupils how to say where they live (countries).

Use this PPT to introduce the students to the facts about the French language. On the following slides, students identify the slowly-revealed flags from either general knowledge or even football knowledge!

Pupils use this writing wheel to write about where they live (their house). Instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.

The topic here is 'Where I live' (e.g. in the countryside, etc.) When they see the vocab, pupils put thumbs up or down, depending on whether they agree that the vocab matches the picture. If it does match, the thumbs up image shakes. If it doesn’t match, the thumbs down image shakes and the correct picture appears.

Use this PPT to introduce both rooms of the house and areas where people live (countryside, etc.) Items of vocab are colour-coded, accordingly mainly to gender.

Introduce the poem ‘Pour dessiner un bonhomme’ using this PPT, which goes through each section, using animations to aid understanding.

Use this PPT to introduce pupils to school uniform and its colours.

Pupils have the story of the Princess and the Pea in French and cut up. They must put the chunks into the correct order. The must then put the cards in the correct order on the storyboard. Instructions for pupils are included.

Ideal cover lesson. Pupils fill in the timetable in German to begin with. They then draw and label their school uniform in German, using the vocab list to help. They write some opinion words underneath their drawing. To finish, they must write a sentence or two about subjects and their uniform. For example, “Ich finde Deutsch toll und ich finde Mathe langweilig. Ich finde meine Schuluniform cool und schick.”

This is a cultural lesson based on the vocab of daily routine. Pupils watch a YouTube video, comparing the daily routine of a girl in the USA with a girl in Haiti. They then use the worksheet to translate the texts about the girls’ daily routine into their books. They should cut out the relevant half of the sheet, stick it into their books and then translate underneath each one. Get pupils to do a rough draft first, to be copied up neatly into their books.

Use the PPT to introduce family members in French. The sheet is a copy of the family tree in the presentation, so pupils can follow and make notes. Pupils then use the clues (e.g. my dad’s brother) to identify the family member.

This PPT shows pupils how to introduce friends (singular and plural) and to say how long they’ve known them (using 'Je le connais depuis…)

Use this PPT to introduce pupils to how to give quantities of food and drink in German. It begins with an example conversation, then teaches the new vocab and finally, pupils play noughts and crosses with the new vocab.
