Good for revision for speaking exams. Pupils can do this in pairs. In advance, choose the topics or sub-topics. Their partner decides if their answer is good enough. If so, they colour in the segment in the relevant colour. If not, they discuss why and may try again. This is just one of many possible activities.

Give the students a gap-fill text with 10 gaps in it (A to I). Of course, this can be more or fewer gaps – just remember to adjust the A to I in the table. In each gap in the text, write a letter (A to I). Along the corresponding row in the table, give 6 alternatives to go in that gap. Pupils then choose one by rolling a dice. When the student reaches the gap, they roll a dice and say/write the corresponding word.

J'ai mal - introduction and practice

(0)
Use this PPT to introduce parts of the body (I've included a lot!). There's a simple introduction to parts of the body to begin with. Then discuss with them what techniques will they use to remember each word. Pupils always come up with some interesting ideas… As long as they work! Then, show the picture before the word to see what they remember. Afterwards, in pairs, pupils take it in turns to throw the dice and then use the clues to complete the sentence (e.g. 'On marche avec...'). Then, go through the grammar point to say where it hurts. Pupils then complete the matching worksheet. To finish, play Connect 4 as a class. Each team takes it in turns to choose a phrase to translate into French. If they’re right, click on the relevant coloured dot to change the colour of the box to their team’s colour. 1 point for 4 in a row and 2 points for 5 in a row.

This is a really fun activity to do with a whole class! If they have the phrase that's just been said in one language, they stand up and say it in the opposite language. They then say the second phrase they have on their card. By the end of the activity, everyone in the class should have said a phrase in French about daily routine and time. Full instructions are on the bottom of the document.

The PPT includes a starter activity based on connectives and then looks at where both countries are and then to the two different texts to translate. The worksheet is the two texts. I get my students to write a rough translation on rough paper before copying their final version into their books, along with a copy of the French texts and each flag.
