Cut out the triangles and pupils match them up so that French sentences are adjacent to their equivalent English sentences, thus creating one docking big triangle!! N.B. YOU NEED FORMULATOR TARSIA software on your computer to open this resource but it's free to download. I created the resource using this software.

KS3 French Holidays tense recognition - group work
Each group is given copies of the 4 texts (as 4 separate sheets) and one copy of the worksheet. Pupils can decide how they want to work - either split up into pairs and each pair looks for ONE particular tense in all 4 texts, swapping texts when they have finished, OR each pair focuses on ONE text, identifying the 3 different tenses. Give 'em mini highlighters - they like using them and the colours reinforce the different tenses. Pupils record their findings on the worksheet then feed back to the class. 'Ave it!!! :)

Technology - Pair work reading activity
Encourages pupils to scan texts for familiar language and then try to work out new vocab before using a dictionary. Divide your class into groups of 4-6 pupils. Give each group 1 copy of the 5 mini texts about Google glasses. Give each pupil a copy of the worksheet. Pupils study one of the texts and answer any relevant questions before swapping the text with other pupils in their group. Keep the 5 texts circulating around the groups until pupils have answered all the questions. Every now and then play some timed music (approx. 2 minutes?) and only when they hear the music are they allowed to use a dictionary. When the music stops they have to close dictionaries!

Christmas vocab game (vocab from Linguascope)
If you've used Linguascope to teach 10 items of French Christmas vocabulary then this is the perfect plenary! 10 pictures repeatedly flash in the box - a pupil taps the box to stop the pictures, and is then given a choice of 3 possible answers. If they tap the correct answer they of course receive the obligatory sweet! :)
If you don't subscribe to Linguascope this could be used as a research lesson, so teacher could tap the pictures, pupils look at the 3 words and use dictionaries to work out correct answer.

Full instructions on 1st powerpoint slide. Involves an element of challenge/competition and of course the winners MUST get a prize!!! :) 'Ave it!!!

French Christmas dominoes
Pupils use a dictionary to find out new vocabulary. They then create a long line of dominoes, matching up all the words and pictures. Once they are familiar with the vocabulary they can play a few games of dominoes! (Worth discussing the rules first .. some of my pupils weren't sure how to play dominoes!!)

Remembrance day - French vocabulary on emotions
Pupils are given a copy of the vocab list on last slide of powerpoint.
They are then shown a series of images with a choice of 3 emotions and asked to show red/amber/green card to show which emotion they think is shown in the images. (Our pupils' planners have RAG pages - they could use different coloured pens / objects instead?)
Later slides offer no choice of emotions, but encourage pupils to write an emotion on a whiteboard instead.
Depending on ability of class pupils could be encouraged to write whole sentences rather than single words.
