When it comes to speaking in a different language, finding enough opportunity in the classroom can be quite tricky. This is a fun, low-prep and low-cost spontaneous speaking activity to use as revision, but also used within topics as speaking starters to practise speaking in the French, German, Spanish and Italian language classrooms, for example.
It is an editable PowerPoint with instructions and slides containing a number of GCSE revision topics. However, the topics can easily be edited, depending on your requirements.
It can be adapted for all levels, languages (I’ve used it with French, German and English) and groups. It has been tried and tested, but I have added my own spin to it.
