French - Ordering an ice cream

Use this PPT to teach pupils how to order an ice cream in French. To begin with, pupils must try to work out the order of the conversation. Then, introduce the vocab, using visual clues. Finally, play noughts and crosses, using the initials of the new phrases.

Entry or extra tasks

(0)
Hand out one card to each student as they enter the room. It doesn’t really matter who gets what. They have to complete the task after they’re settled (e.g. after writing the date, etc). In their books, they should write ‘My entry task today is number ___’. These could also be used as ‘extra’ tasks in the lesson. Tasks include ‘You are a translator for this lesson!’ and ‘Get a purple pen from the top drawer, check your book for errors and correct them.’

Use this PPT to introduce pupils to how to say ‘some’ in French. It begins by introducing different food and drink, using ‘some’. Pupils must identify the 4 different ways to say ‘some’. They are then taught the rules and then must identify whether the French matches the images. The images then rush across the screen and pupils must give the French. Finally, there is a matching activity.

French - Tenses starter

When teaching a lesson about using different tenses, show this on the board as pupils enter the room, giving them something to think about and get them ready for French! Each slide is timed and so can be played on its own. On each slide are words, such as 'hier', 'demain', etc.
French - Modal verbs

French - Modal verbs

(0)
Teach pupils how to use the modal verbs in French - pouvoir, devoir and vouloir. The presentation shows the conjugated verbs to start with and then asks pupils to test their memory by asking them to match the correct verb to the pronoun. Then, they must remember how to spell the verbs. At the end, they must translate the sentences from English into French.

Say Something - Random images

Use this as a random picture selector: Press F5 and then ‘s’ randomly. Whatever the picture is and the symbol at the bottom of the slide, pupils must take it in turns to say something – a question about the picture, an exclamation, a positive, a negative, something in the future and something in the past.

One of my personal favourites! Have a reading text in the box. In 2 teams, pupils choose a word to find in the text. The pupils don’t know what each word is worth. Click on the word they have chosen when they have correctly identified it in the text and their score will be revealed. The winning team is the team with the highest score once all words have been found in the text. 3 slides with different scores.
