French - Places in town

(0)
Use this PPT to introduce places in town in French. On the first slides, in two teams, students choose a square. Click on the square to reveal a part of the image underneath. Students decide to either guess the place in French or pass to the other team. If they guess correctly, they get a point. If they guess incorrectly, the other team get the point. This encourages students to use context and clues to work out the new vocab. Finish with a team game. Students choose a number and answer a question about places in town. If they guess correctly, click to reveal their score underneath.

French - Activities in town

(0)
Activities in town. To start with, show the phrases for the activities with the words jumbled up. Pupils can then work out (if possible!) what the correct word order should be, before being told what the activities are. The second activity for the pupils is one where all the images of the activities are on the board and when you say one of the activities in French, they raise their hands, according to what symbol is by the picture. Finally, pupils translate the sentences into English at the end of the PPT. The sentences are saying what you can do and where.

This PPT introduces some differences between France and the UK. Go through the chosen differences with students, allowing them to guess which country it refers to. The following slides are extra bits of information. Students use the clues to work out what the differences could be. Finally, give students facts in French to translate – they then choose a square and if there’s a treasure underneath, they get the point for their team. New addition - noughts and crosses to practise the new vocab!

This PPT introduces some facts about Christmas in France and can be used in conjunction with the Christmas wordsearch, where a lot of the vocab used is introduced. For the wordsearch, students use a school French dictionary to look up the English Christmas words and find the French words in the grid. The PPT starts by introducing and then practising some facts about Christmas in France, followed by a video of a Christmas market in Mulhouse, Alsace. There is then a Connect 4 game, practising the vocab and facts, followed by an Advent Calendar team game. Instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.

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.

Use the texts as a basis for introducing different types of sport. Then, pupils work to remember whether each sport uses 'je fais' or 'je joue'. You could look at patterns here.

I use this to do 'walk-throughs' with classes, especially GCSE. Show them the first section to translate, discuss and then show them how you translated it. Feedback from my classes has been great for this. They have found it very useful. It's almost like doing 'workings out' in maths.
