Use this PPT to introduce various different articles of clothing to pupils in French. A shape over each image very briefly reveals the image for pupils to say what it is in English,

Introduce pupils to the question 'Tu portes…?' Using pictures of 3 celebrities in different outfits, this PPT talks about describing what you’re wearing and giving your opinion of ‘le look’.

On the first slide, pupils must decide whether the opinion word is positive or negative. Pupils then give a sentence, giving their opinion, to play Battleships. For example, “Ich finde das Hemd altmodisch.” Use that grid reference to reveal a square by clicking on it. If there’s an exploded battleship underneath, that team gets the point. If not, move over to the other team. There are 5 to find.

Which 8 were invented/discovered by French people? Pupils choose the 8 inventions/discoveries they think are correct and click on them. Either a tick or a cross will appear. An example is ‘Battery 1800’.

Using Monet’s painting, ‘Jardin à Sainte-Adresse’ and example sentences underneath the painting, pupils have to change one word (if it’s a noun, they can change le/la) to make a sentence of their own. This activity focuses in particular on colours and agreements.

Pupils fill in the gaps in the worksheet as they listen to the traditional French carol. There is a link to the song on YouTube on the sheet as well.

Pupils have cards in pairs and pick up a TV show card, an opinion card and ‘je les trouve’ card, followed by ‘Par contre’ to make sentences. Example: J’adore les dessins animés. Je les trouve très amusants. Par contre, je n’aime pas les documentaires. Je les trouves ennuyeux.

On this worksheet, students use the second page to complete their ideal timetable in the template, draw their ideal uniform and give their opinion about it.

This PPT introduces the rules of how to say ‘in’ or ‘to’ different places (e.g. feminine, masculine or plural countries, etc).

There are four different slides with phrases about how often you do different activities. Simply click on the lines to reveal the letters and click on different parts of the ‘hangman’ to slowly build it up.

This PPT explains the use of ‘the’ in French and how it’s not always translated in English.

This is a presentation for an alternative curriculum day. Any age group can do it, but you would need to adjust the end task to make it harder for older pupils. I used this with pupils from high-ability Year 7 up to Year 9. Pupils are introduced to the vocab needed for the display (switch off lights, put rubbish in the bin, etc).

Use this PPT to practise pupils’ memory skills. There are 10 random words that appear at timed intervals that they must try to remember without taking notes, then activities to follow. At the end, using the vocab, pupils play noughts and crosses in teams.

Full instructions are in the notes section of this PPT. Pupils are shown words that they have to remember in a given time limit. Their challenge is then increased with longer phrases.

Pupils stick a copy of this table into their books to remind them how to conjugate ‘sein’.

This presentation explains present tense verbs in French. Regular -er, -re and -ir verbs are covered, as well as the key irregular verbs aller, avoir, être and faire.

Add your own verb and its paradigm to this slide, allowing pupils to practise conjugating the given verb in pairs, using a dice.

Students use these slides to help them write a ‘for sale’ paragraph about a sibling or friend. It practises personality words and physical descriptions.

Students work in pairs. They take it in turns to throw a dice. They then translate the phrase next to the number shown on the dice.

In this reading homework, students write questions about the texts (in French or in English, depending on the group's ability) for their partner, who then answers the questions when in class when the homework is due. They then both write a WWW & EBI for each other's answers.
