Here are two comprehension tasks with differentiated questions. It’s a long text using past and future tense. One worksheet contains questions in French to answer using full sentences, some translation and a short grammar task on some frequency verbs. The other sheet has questions in English. It would suit well a high ability year 9/year 10. This text can also be used later as a model to support their own writing. I have attached the answer sheet.

I created these two powerpoints, worksheet and snakes and ladders board game using famous football players in order to motivate my lower ability classes (heavy on boys mainly interested in football) and famous Disney characters and female players (girls). It can be used as a way to teach saying our name and asking someone their name, introducing French numbers up to twenty, saying how we feel and finally saying how old we are.

I prepared these resources for my year 6 primary children who find learning the French Alphabet a bit challenging. First slide goes through the sound of each letter while singing. The second task is a listening task where the children have to listen and circle the correct letter. Third task is another listening task where the pupils have to listen and write the correct missing letters. The last task is reading/ writing/ cultural task where the letters have been replaced by their sound and the pupils have to work out the names of famous French people/ brands. Then they have to link the name with correct pictures. Finally I made another worksheet where they have to work out the names of celebrities/ football players.

Here is a powerpoint presentation teaching snack food and various drinks at the cafe. It includesdifferentiated writing tasks (guess the drinks or the snack by reading the clues/ translation, complete words with missing vowels, complete the sentences with the missing information using translation, replace pictures by the correct sentences, spot the mistakes and finally a listening task). I have attached a worksheet that goes with the reading, writing and listening tasks.

Here is a powerpoint you can use to introduce the topics on holidays and the near future. The first slide recaps/ introduces the verb aller at the present tense (get the pupils to give the correct answers). The next slides can be used as a pair work or group work. Then there is translation task (spot the mistakes). Slide 10 can be used as battle ship task. Slide 11 is a class game (boys vs girls), say a sentence using aller for each picture. Slides 12 and 13 are ‘find the following…in the text’. Last slide can be used as visual for a plenary

Here is a powerpoint presentation on places in town. It aims at teaching primary age children teaching or a lower ability class. I used the town of Redcar in the North East. The powerpoint has two workksheets (differentiated) to work on reading and writing skills. They are very easy tasks (circle the correct answers) and complete with missing vowels, replacing pictures by words. There is a comprehension task for the more able pupils. I have created a four in row speaking task to play in pairs or as a group (one with support il y a…and one with there is, there is no, there are…to translate).

Here is a powerpoint I prepare to recap/ introduce gradually numbers 1 to 100. It aims at practising saying, reading and writing prices in euros. Prior to this lesson I taught various food and drinks and wanted to reuse this topic to learn how to say prices in euros. The first few slides aim at recaping numbers. From slide 5 I introduce how to say prices with decimals and want the children to write on their whiteboard or the attached worksheet the prices in words. There is plenty of written on each slide to help the pupil write the words correctly. From slides 9 I want the pupils to guess the prices of essential items (speaking), I can only help them by telling them ‘plus eleve’/ ‘inferieur’ or ‘plus bas’ /‘superieur’ . From slide 17 the pupils have to read the words and write the prices in words.Then I introduce numbers 70 to 100. From slide 25, pupils have to write prices in words and then from slide 30 they have to write the prices as a number.On the next slides I introduce the Euro coins and bank notes.

Here is a powerpoint to teach hobbies/leisure. It’s an old presentation but you can change some of the picture to modernise it.

Here is presentation to recap some aches/illness in French and suggest some solutions.

These worksheets have been created to help year 6 children order breakfast food and drinks while visiting France. I use ‘je voudrais’ but this can be changed to ‘je mange’ and ‘je bois’. They would suit perfectly upper ks2 children and ks3 pupils.

Here is a range of activities for pupils to practise the future tense. The activities are all related to the holiday topic. I prepared three differentiated tasks. I made a fairly easy one to use for the lower ability pupils focusing mainly on the first person of the singular. The other two sets of cards have more challenging vocabulary (countries, leisure, time expressions, various pronouns and expressing a few opinions). These speaking tasks would suit year 10/11 who needs to practise their oral. It can also support them for writing about their future holidays by modelling correct use of future tense. The speaking tasks are to be used in pairs or in a group (one pupil shows the card, he/she hides one sentence and the others have to translate it in the other language).The quickest pupils to translate it correctly wins the card, at the end they count who has the most cards. After several speaking practices, pupils work on the worksheet (two different levels). I have also attached the correct answers for the writing tasks.

Here is a range of resources to practise common French words and short sentences. They can be used as a recap or to introduce French to new learners. There are a card game and a snakes and ladders game to practise speaking. There is a worksheet with differentiated tasks (the first two are for LA and the last two can be used for MA or HA children). Finally I made a powerpoint with audio recording (can be deleted) to listen to the sound of these common words/expressions. There is a slide on some French sounds and children have to list the words that have these sounds.

A powerpoint presentation to practise the basics ‘je m’appelle’ with famous historical figures. It also teaches how to use ‘il or elle s’appelle’ and ‘ils or elles s’appellent’ when introducing other people. You will also find two worksheets to practise using them correctly.

Here is a booklet (with differentiated tasks) on the Football Word Cup 2022. It gives the opportunity to recap names of countries/nationalities and the languages spoken. It also gives the opportunity to recap colours (flags) and tackles geographical and general knowledge. I have also attached the answer sheets. NB: To introduce players, I had in mind the clubs they play or played for and therefore the language they had to learn. However some football players may speak more languages e.g. Kylian Mbappe is apparently fluent in English and Spanish but has only played in France.

Here are various resources linked to the King Charles III’s. The first powerpoint contains some challenging language but it goes a worksheet (cut strips of paper and match the French paragraphs with the English ones) in order to help the pupils understand tricky language. Linked to this powerpoint is an easier translation task. The pupils have to work out the meaning of key vocabulary and label the pictures with the correct French word. The second powerpoint only has key words to practise. I get them to choose 4 or 6 key words from the last slide and play bingo. Linked to this simplified powerpoint, I have attached a wordsearch and simple cross-words. There are two differentiated reading tasks (royal family, colour of hair, eyes, family relation and age) and a very simple on King Charles and pets/animals. Pupils will have to fill in the missing words.

A worksheet to go alongside the powerpoint ‘comment tu t’appelles ? Comment s’appelle-t-elle/il?’ using famous historical figures or paintings. Opportunity to test children’s cultural knowledge.

A worksheet to practise writing and reading skills (differentiatied tasks) on breakfast food and drinks. I have used ‘je voudrais’ instead of ‘je mange’ and ‘je bois’. I usually prepare my year 6 for a French residential and I like to get them ready at communicating in French independently. My resource focuses on ordering food and drinks.

Here is a task I made for my end of the year lessons. You have to cut the pictures, the description and the names and the children have to match them after reading the description. It is in English as the language would be too complex for my primary children. This can be used as an end of year task.
