Football behaviour management strategy
A simple but effective system for creating an ordered, fun classroom! Your first lesson in September! Start as you mean to go on! How to negotiate rules and enforce them and get your classes on side! Only effective with a determined, consistent and, at times, bloody minded attitude from the ref!! Good luck!
Each slide has notes with suggestions as to how to implement the strategy. Some parts can be customised to ensure your strategy fits in with whole school policies.
Find the Christmas puds!
Just some fun for your last lesson before Christmas! Pupils put their hands up to offer a co-ordinate - teacher (or a chosen pupil) clicks on the corresponding box to reveal either a frowny face or a Christmas pud! If pupil finds a pud, they get a sweet! This activity can be used to practise French numbers and alphabet or as a maths activity linking to co-ordinates topic. Three different versions are included and the letters / numbers can be edited to raise level of challenge.
French colouring by numbers (Christmas)
Colouring activity reinforcing French colours for weaker groups. Could also be used for numeracy skills - teacher could ask questions eg red + light blue. Pupils refer to légende & give correct answer in French.
Please let me know if you have any problems downloading - I created this resource in Word, but all the numbers seemed to move once I uploaded it, so I created the PDF document instead. Preview looks fine.
Booking a hotel room - Presentation and activities.
Teaches pupils the basic vocab necessary to book a hotel room. Several activities including reading hotel adverts, paired and group speaking activities, link to a YouTube clip of a woman booking in at hotel reception and a GCSE reading exam question.
Some slides have links to activities - I have uploaded the linked activities in case the links don't work.
The past exam question has rubrics / questions in French to fit in with the new style GCSE exam. Copy also included with rubrics / questions in English.
Easter Maths and colouring activity
Pupils each have a copy of both sheets - cut out the pictures, do the sums and stick the correct part of the picture on top of the sums to create an Easter picture which can then be coloured! Smartboard slide gives instructions for pupils to follow.
Food vocab and simple sentences quiz
For KS2 or 3 pupils. Competitive quiz activity. Practises knowledge of basic food vocab and sentences. Each shape is hyperlinked to a slide which contains the question. Click on the smiley face on the question slide to return to the first slide. For 10 marks pupils must recognise basic foods eg le poulet. For 20 points they have to recognise simple sentences eg. J'aime le fromage. For 30 points they have to recognise more challenging sentences eg. Mon père mange trop de frites. For 40 points they have to say something in French eg. My mum loves cake.
This is an adaptable resource.
Film themes - pupils decide which film genre
Just one slide...click on the 8 cinema tickets and a film theme will play. (Pictures are incidental ... they don't match with the music excerpts). Pupils have previously been taught film genres - they must note the correct genre as they listen to each theme. Could also be used to reinforce adjectives for describing films? Scroll to bottom of screen to find answers.
French Valentines Day activities
For older pupils, probably years 10 & 11. Includes a short starter poem to translate, a match up activity (how to say I LOVE YOU in 10 languages), a link to BBC Ma France resource (video clips of people dating), vocab for creating a Valentines card, a wordsearch and a Higher Level reading past exam question. Included : Powerpoint presentation, past exam question worksheet and wordsearch worksheet.
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.
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!
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.

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!!)
Christmas battleships
A selected pupil gives coordinates in French. Teacher taps appropriate square, which will fly out revealing a blank square or a Christmas pud!! There are 7 to find. The puds are at the bottom of the screen so you need to move them onto the grid before playing. This means you can play more than once! Nice way to end last lesson before Xmas! Sweets needed as prizes of course!! A bag of chocolate coins works well and is cheap! 'Ave it!! :)
P.S. To re-set the game quickly, just click the blue forward arrow to take you onto next screen, then click the blue back arrow. This will return you to game screen with all squares back in place. You can retrieve the Xmas puds from the grid by using the blue curly UNDO arrow.
