This is a blank wordsearch with an example for pupils to use. Pupils fill in different high German numbers into the wordsearch themselves and then their partner completes the wordsearch on the homework due date.

Use this resource to practise the sounds within in low numbers in French. Firstly, pupils match the sounds and then play noughts and crosses to practise the pronunciation of numbers.

Say an item in the bedroom at random in the target language and pupils raise their left hands if there’s a blue ‘L’ underneath the picture, their right hands if there’s a green ‘R’ underneath the picture and both hands if there’s a red ‘L&R’ underneath the picture.

Use this resource to practise talking about TV. Using the grid at the top of the page, pupils change certain details in the conversation, depending on what number is rolled on their dice.

Use this resource to teach pupils the logic of German numbers up to 99.

Consider introducing and using some of this vocabulary as early as possible with pupils. Of course, some of it is more suited to higher ability and A level students. This is a simple list of opinion phrases and their English translation.

This resource teaches pupils how to formulate questions in French, using 3 different methods: 'est-ce que', inversion and going up at the end of a sentence. Pupils then get to practise these methods with a couple of image prompts and a 'What's the Question?' game at the end.

In two teams, pupils choose a number and say it in the target language. If it’s correct, click on that number to reveal the random score that team gets. There are 2 ‘X’, meaning the team’s score is wiped out!

Pupils work in pairs to fill in the gaps in the timetable. Each pupil has different gaps and must work out what goes in the gaps by asking what subject the other pupil has period 1 on a Tuesday, for example.

Introduce the logic and patterns of the higher numbers (100s and 1000s) in German.

Use this grid for listening work, reading work or anything you can think of. The idea is that pupils, for example, listen once to a text and fill in the words they know in the middle section. They then pass it to their partner who fills in any extra words that are not in the middle section after the second time of listening. They then pass it on to someone else in the class who then fills in the darkest section on the outside of the grid with any extra words not filled in after the third time of listening. Best to use this with a challenging listening/reading.

Pupils work in teams. One person from Team A chooses a topic and a value. Click on the corresponding shape and this reveals a clue to the word or phrase that is the answer. If they get it correct, they get those points. If they get it wrong, it passes to the opposite team. Give them a time limit in which to answer. Clues could be, “this noun is masculine”, “this phrase is in the perfect tense”, etc.

Use the template to get pupils to guess the blanked out word in the headline. You could also use this HIGNFY template to do ‘reading images’. Pupils discuss what’s in the picture and give it a headline. Simply insert a photo of your choice in the top of the slide! You could use it to give pupils options of headlines or give them a headline and they have to choose the appropriate image.

Use this to practise asking questions. In presentation mode, your answers will show in each square. Challenge pupils to work out what the question could be. I award one point for any relevant question they come up with and 2 points if they correctly guess the question I came up with. Simply clicking on the square with your answer reveals your question.

For pairwork activities. Full instructions are on the document, but the basic idea is that pupils try to guess each element of a phrase or short paragraph in a limited amount of attempts.

As in Mock the Week, pupils guess the question from the answer. When you click on the answer box, the question appears. Great idea as a starter.

I’ve used this for A level French, as a starter, discussing the different viewpoints of de Gaulle and Pétain during the occupation of France in WW2. It’s the ideal way to get pupils moving and to wake them up! In the above example, I had a picture of de Gaulle for the left hand and Pétain for the right. Students had to then read the clue and decide who it referred to.

Use this template to practise transcription work in pairs. There is a sheet for person A and one for person B. Type the 2 different texts into the relevant boxes (they must be 2 different texts). Pupils then take it in turns to read their text to their partner, who must then write what they hear in the empty box. After they have both finished, they then compare their written text to the original on their partner's sheet and tally any errors made.

Click where it says “Insert words here” to add your clue. If Team O get one right, click on the ‘O’ underneath the picture or clue. It will change to ‘O’. Likewise with Team X.
