This 1 slide PowerPoint can be used to teach the alphabet and to play Beat The Teacher! The teacher points to a letter and says a letter in French. If it is the correct letter the students all repeat it. If its the wrong letter the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins! Brilliant for contrasting G & J and E & I!
Battleships Game: (this includes the french pronunciation of the letters)
Instructions
The students love this competitive and fun game!
I use this battleships game (which can also be used as a lotto grid) to help students to practise their pronunciation of the letters.
I drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game: The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a letter from the horizontal line and then a letter from the vertical line.
Where the 2 letters meet up is the square you have chosen.
I use the second sheet (without pronunciation help) to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the first version and then try to play the game pronouncing the letters correctly as far as possible from memory. I allow the really weak students to have the first sheet next to the second sheet so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the first sheet and the really strong students aim to refer back to the first sheet as little as possible. This really helps the students to memorise the vocabulary/structures!
During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation. This is followed by whole class drilling of pronunciation mistakes.
The "I spy with my little eye...." one slide PowerPoint can be used as a simple 10 minute French warmer/ starter activity.
I get the students to play this in small groups practising not only classroom vocabulary, but also thinking more imaginatively e.g. clothing, colours and vocabulary such as "hair" and "eyes." Therefore this can be used with a variety of year groups. Then we play as a whole class.
Enjoy!
