To begin with, pupils are introduced to the new vocab of saying what there is to do in town. Then, pupils raise their hands, according to the activity you mention (right, left or both hands). After this, pupils choose A, B or C to translate (the options are not shown until they choose). It makes translation a little more fun! Finally, pupils translate the sentences about what you can do in town.

The topic here is 'Where I live' (e.g. in the countryside, etc.) When they see the vocab, pupils put thumbs up or down, depending on whether they agree that the vocab matches the picture. If it does match, the thumbs up image shakes. If it doesn’t match, the thumbs down image shakes and the correct picture appears.

Use this PPT to introduce both rooms of the house and areas where people live (countryside, etc.) Items of vocab are colour-coded, accordingly mainly to gender.

They write some opinion words underneath their drawing. To finish, they must write a sentence or two about subjects and their uniform. For example, “Ich finde Deutsch toll und ich finde Mathe langweilig. Ich finde meine Schuluniform cool und schick.”

This is a cultural lesson based on the vocab of daily routine. Pupils watch a YouTube video, comparing the daily routine of a girl in the USA with a girl in Haiti. They then use the worksheet to translate the texts about the girls’ daily routine into their books. They should cut out the relevant half of the sheet, stick it into their books and then translate underneath each one. Get pupils to do a rough draft first, to be copied up neatly into their books.

Introduce the well-known poem ‘L’Automne’ using the PPT and use the worksheet alongside it. The poem goes through the poem, using the words and images for certain parts of the poem to aid understanding. Pupils do gap-fill on the worksheet whilst listening and watching the presentation. By the end of the detailed presentation, pupils will be able to write their own version of the poem in French, using support.

Use the PPT to introduce family members in French. The sheet is a copy of the family tree in the presentation, so pupils can follow and make notes. Pupils then use the clues (e.g. my dad’s brother) to identify the family member.

This PPT shows pupils how to introduce friends (singular and plural) and to say how long they’ve known them (using 'Je le connais depuis…)

Use this PPT to introduce pupils to how to give quantities of food and drink in German. It begins with an example conversation, then teaches the new vocab and finally, pupils play noughts and crosses with the new vocab.

This PPT introduces various quantities to use with food & drink in French. It starts with an example conversation, buying food & drink and pupils must first identify the quantities. Then, the quantity phrases are formally introduced. Finally, pupils play noughts and crosses with the new vocab.

Give the students the gap-fill text about food & drink 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.

This PPT is on a timer, so pupils must be on their toes! When pupils read a past tense phrase, they must either point backwards or step backwards (depending on the size of the class/classroom!). For the present tense, they either stomp or point down. For the future tense, they must either point in front of them or take a step forwards.

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.

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.
