Here are three powerpoints to introduce adjectives to describe ourselves. One powerpoint aims at practising ‘je suis’ and the other focuses on ‘il est’ and elle est’.

I have also included two differentiated worksheets to practise writing ‘je suis’ .

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.

Here is a powerpoint to practise /describe the colour of pets. I included two slides to recap pets and colours first. Then I explain the rules with colour adjectives.

There is a speaking activity (nought and crosses game) where the pupils need to say the colour of hair or eyes or the hair length or style. The slide 14 is a model for a writing activity. Obviously depending on their ability or previous learning , pupils can say or write a bit more.
