Here are some resources (matching cards which can be used as memory game if you turn them over, an assessment or a reading task match the time with the correct clock) 5 in a row time game, and two writing and reading tasks) to practise time in French.

Here are two powerpoints to explain and introduce key vocabulary about Easter in France and four worksheets which will cater for lower and upper ks2 children. I made these differentiated worksheets for my year 3, year 4 and year 5 children but they can be adapted for other years. One of the activities is a wordsearch. I haven’t attached the twelve they have to find. You can see the list on the year 3 worksheet.

A powerpoint to introduce or recap colour of hair and colour of eyes (with Disney characters, Harry Potter and famous portraits). I added other details e.g. j’ai des lunettes, une moustache, une barbe, un chapeau. I have also attached a couple of snakes and ladders to practise this topic.

Two Powerpoint presentations (one with an audio recording by a native French speaker and one without) to help you teach and practise the Halloween vocabulary. You will also find two diffrentiated worksheets to practise reading and writing skills. I have also included a slide on some French phonemes.

Few worksheets with differentiated tasks to practise using adjectives to describe ourselves. I used resources from Bruno Guillemin to introduce some of the vocabulary. These worksheets would suit well primary aged children (year 3 to year 6) and lower ability secondary children (year 7).

Here is a powerpoint I created for my primary children to recap the weather and the days of the week. The third slide gives the opportunity to practise reading and writing skills as the children have to spot the correct sentence. I have used pictures pictures of famous towns and places in France. The worksheets have various differentiated tasks

Here are three listening tasks (two on the 2018 World Cup and one on 2022 World Cup). I have copied and pasted the Youtube link. This is an authentic resource made by the Federation Francaise de Foot. It gives the opportunity to engage pupils’ interest especially the boys’. The pupils will be able to see listen and see some famous players getting their lunch while doing this comprehension task. It offers opportunity to recap previous learning on food and greetings.

Here is a powerpoint presentation on rooms of the house with family members and pets. I made it as a guessing game to encourage my primary children to say where mon pere, ma mere, mon frere, ma soeur, mon chien and mon chat are (all the answers are on the last slide). I would use the battle-ship template or the worksheet (piece de la maison, famille and verb etre) as a written support to help them say correctly the sentence. I have included a lot of written support for my primary but it can be obviously be deleted and adapted for more confident learners. Attached to this powerpoint are some worksheets (differentiated) I made to practise writing and reading skills.

Here is another worksheet I have created around the World Cup 2022. There is wordsearch with the names of the countries in French. There is a grammar task (sorting them into masculin, feminin and pluriel category and using the correct article). Finally there is a task around colours as the pupils have to colour the flags and write down the country in French. I have attached the answer sheet.

Speaking-task on opinions and fruits. This battle-ship game is ideal to get children to practise opinions and fruits. It caters for lower ability children that need written support but you can delete the words to challenge more confident children. I use it with my year 6 pupils.

A worksheet activity to work on reading and writing prices using euros and cents. It is also a nice opportunity to show popular French sweets and typical French food.

Here is a worksheet to practise your present tense with various verbs. The sentences are all related to identity and culture. I often try to model authentic French sentences that students can use in their own writing and speaking practice. You will find the answer sheet.

Here are various resources (a powerpoint presentation, an A4 sheet to laminate in order to draw correct number of candles to say the age, snap cards to practise counting, some bingo cards and a snake and ladder board to practise saying j’ai…ans). I started to teach French to SEN year 7 and year 8 and made these resources to support the pupils with speaking and listening tasks.

I created these two powerpoints, worksheet and snakes and ladders board game using famous football players in order to motivate my lower ability classes (heavy on boys mainly interested in football) and famous Disney characters and female players (girls). It can be used as a way to teach saying our name and asking someone their name, introducing French numbers up to twenty, saying how we feel and finally saying how old we are. Powerpoint activities: 1 practising ‘je m’appelle’ with famous people (speaking or writing on mini-whiteboard) 2Conversation model (to be used as a model) 3 Recap greetings 4 Recap saying our age 5 recap numbers up to 20 6 short paragraphs with famous characters to practise name and age 7 Introduce how to say how we feel 8 Guess the feeling (famous characters) 9 Encore une fois activity (guess what your partner has chosen for each sentence.

Here is powerpoint I have made to recap the different uses of verb avoir with ‘basic vocabulary’ e.g. age, pets, colour of hair, colour of eyes, school timetable, classrooms, being hot, being hungry…etc. You can get the pupils to give you the answers verbally or in writing (from slides 34 to 62). Each slide has the correct answer. The last two slides can be used as visual prompt. The pupils have to tell what students have (stationery, clothes, hair) or what there is in the classroom.

Here is card game I created to use as a translation game. One student reads the English or the French sentence, the others have to translate it in the other language. It aims at practising passe compose with (je, tu , il and elle forms) and various hobbies.

Here is a support I have created to encourage students to talk about themselves.

Here is an assessment I have created to assess my primary children on their first unit of French. The powerpoint matches the assessment worksheets. It includes some writing tasks (1 short task: writing your name and age, 2nd task: writing name, age and how you feel using clues with support, 3rd task writing name, age and feelings without support), a listening task (using alphabet to spell name), another listening task on name, age and feelings.
