Click on the ‘spin’ button to spin the wheel. It appears to your class to 'randomly' select one of 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 names/topics. Simply edit the text boxes to label as you wish.

You could either use this yourself, or get pupils to use it themselves for revision.

I use this as a starter activity. Without showing this slide or telling pupils what they will be doing, ask them to write 5 words from the topic they did last lesson. Don’t mention anything about points, etc. After they’ve written the words, show them this slide and tell them to award the points for each letter of each word and then a total for all words. If you want to, tell them (for example) that each accent doubles the value of its letter. It’s a simple and competitive activity.

Throughout a lesson, pupils could fill in what they are learning into the outline of a brain. Great way to show progression.

Very simply, a template for pupils to use to write about a week. They write the text in the lower box and draw a picture in the bigger box.

Simply a template for a Diamond Nine activity!

This is a list of quotes from famous and successful people in history who failed their way to the top. I have this on display in my classroom and regularly refer to it when encouraging learning from mistakes.

As pupils go down the slope, they start with a sentence starter and make the sentence longer and longer as they go.

Posters to remind pupils to regularly ‘think, pair, square, share’ their ideas.

I sometimes use letter shapes as a starter activity. Use the shapes on the sheet instead of the letters themselves. You could leave accents above letters as they are, or use the shapes for those as well.

This can be used in many different ways. For example, students play in teams. They choose a number in turns. Teacher reads out a word related to the topic and pupils have to translate it or maybe give a sentence with that word in it. If they are correct, reveal that number. They receive a point if there is ‘treasure’ under the number. There are 5 different templates here, as students may remember where the treasure is hidden! There are 5 different slides, so pupils can't learn where the treasure is!

Quite simply, a template for WWTBAM!

The whole-class version of Connect 4. Pupils work in two teams (red and blue) and their objective is to get 4 (or 3, if you prefer) of their coloured rectangles in a row. This can be vertically, horizontally or diagonally. In presentation mode, click on the relevant coloured circle to change the colour of the rectangle.

Pupils work in pairs to get 4 in a row by giving one aspect from the y axis and one from the x axis. They must also try to block the other pupil. For example, if you’ve used personal pronouns and infinitives, they have to give ‘je regarde’ to get the corresponding square. Class version also available.

Class dominoes is a great activity to keep the kids on their toes! Instructions are on the document. Simply enter the vocab you want the pupils to practise where indicated.

Instructions on how to edit this PPT are on the first slide. There are 3 slides, each with curtains set to open to reveal any set of words or images you choose. The curtains then are timed to automatically close after 10, 20 and 30 seconds. Great for working on memory in particular.

Give a paper copy of the first slide to each pair of students. They must fill in each rectangle with a word from a certain topic/listening/reading text, etc. Each of the pair has a different coloured pen and takes it in turns to fill in a word. The other pair must check they understand the word before they can fill it in. When this is complete, choose one of the grids on the following slides to show… Reveal each score one at a time by simply clicking – they will reveal one by one in order. Pupils check their total score for the corresponding words. They have the score shown only if they wrote a word in the corresponding box. The player with the highest total for their words is the winner!

Dice activities are fabulous! Use this template to add your own vocab/images for your activities, or allow students to add their own. Full instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.

The students' favourite game! This is the original version. 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.
