These worksheets aim at motivating lower ability that are interested in football.

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.

Slides 12 and 13 are ‘find the following…in the text’. Last slide can be used as visual for a plenary

Here is a very lengthy powerpoint presentation that can be used over two or three lessons. It gives the pupils plenty of opportunities (orally or in writing) to use the correct ending for each pronoun.

Based on French sentence builders (primary part 1, the Language Gym), here is a very simplified powerpoint to recap feelings and adjectives. For each slide pupils have to choose the sentence that matches the pictures. They can write their answer on their mini-whiteboard or say it orally. I made this powerpoint for my lower ability group who struggle to write in the target language. The last slide can be used to recap all the vocabulary. Tell them an English sentence and pupils write the translation using numbers and letters. To go alongside the powerpoint is a worksheet to working on writing and reading skills.

It includesdifferentiated writing tasks (guess the drinks or the snack by reading the clues/ translation, complete words with missing vowels, complete the sentences with the missing information using translation, replace pictures by the correct sentences, spot the mistakes and finally a listening task).

Third task is another listening task where the pupils have to listen and write the correct missing letters. The last task is reading/ writing/ cultural task where the letters have been replaced by their sound and the pupils have to work out the names of famous French people/ brands. Then they have to link the name with correct pictures. Finally I made another worksheet where they have to work out the names of celebrities/ football players.

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).
