Go through each sound-spelling with the pupils. Then, play Kim's game using words containing the sound-spellings. There is then a Connect 4 game using the same words. The PPT then goes through a display about spontaneous speaking and then finishes with a dictionary challenge.

Pupils work in teams to come up with 10 items of vocab within the topic area of weather. They write their words down on a piece of paper and give a second copy to the teacher. The idea is to come up with the ‘most obscure’ word (i.e. with the lowest score). Someone must add up each team’s score after their 10 words. The team with the lowest score wins! TIP: Print out a copy of the list on slide 3, so you can cross off the phrases done.

In pairs, one pupil notes down (in secret) which of each two options they will choose. The second pupil begins reading and chooses an option. If they’ve chosen correctly, they continue. If they are wrong, they must start from the beginning, remembering which of the options were correct. Prepare for a lot of laughter!

Team sentence-building template

Great for building both confidence and the use of spoken/written phrases. In 2 teams, each one takes it in turns to choose a rectangle. Team 1 chooses a noun from the first row and has to give a phrase using that noun (e.g. J’ai un chien.) It’s best to note down what they say. Then team 2 chooses an adjective from the second row and has to repeat what Team 1 said and add more to the phrase using an adjective (e.g. J’ai un chien blanc.) Then Team 1 chooses a connective from row 3, etc. Jot down one point for each correct phrase. This continues until one of the teams either gives an incorrect phrase or can’t think of one. The opposite team get the total points. Start again if you like, using the nouns, etc that haven’t been used.
