As comprehensive Power Point presentation for the topic of ‘At the tourist office’. Over 50 phrases pupils will need to understand or say in the role play task and sample role plays to go through with support and suggested answers. Also includes some language games for a dozen nouns you might need in the tourist info office such as ‘a map of the town’ and ‘train timetables’ etc. If you are preparing your pupils for role play tasks or need some revision material, my ‘At the hotel’ bundle is great value and covers all the vocabulary for the role play task.

35 unique cards covering the basics including greetings, first questions and responses, days of the week and months of the year. Distribute the cards. The person with 'DEBUT' begins and asks the first question 'Qui a bonjour?' this prompts the next person who has the phrase 'J'ai bonjour' written on their card. They shout this out followed by their own question, 'Qui a au revoir?' The game continues like this until the last person ends with 'La Fin!' Excellent for vocabulary consolidation and to inject energy into the lesson. Gets pupils interacting and speaking and listening. Brilliant for revision lessons for all year groups.

This writing frame goes far beyond the typical 'J'ai un chien qui s'appelle...' and includes sentences in the perfect, imperfect, future and conditional tenses.

Anybody with a class with difficult girls needs to buy this resource. I created this especially for my bottom set year 9 girls and it worked. Silence. Engagement. Enthusiasm! You will not regret this purchase. It is full of up to date language describing clothes that our pupils actually wear; the pupils were amazed at the 'cool' vocab lists with words like 'high tops' and 'playsuit'. The final outcome is a written paragraph about the t-shirt they have designed. At your discretion how they balance their time between sketching and producing written language! Vocabulary taught: T-shirt style (sleeve length, neckline, fit) T-shirt look (colour, pattern, slogan) Clothes to go with the t-shirt Accessories to go with it Advice on how to achieve 'the look' (using imperatives) Includes consolidation activities and comprehension. Printable worksheet slide included

A game board to practise nouns and simple sentences. Great to introduce food in a novel way- give them the board game and a dictionary and it is a really fun way to challenge them to learn food and drink nouns. Use it as follow up once you have introduced the voacb as it is an excellent way of practising speaking and listening skills. Other important features: pupil independence, pupil collaboration, challenge and competition. I always have 100% engagement when I give them a board game (I have others available). A rewarding way to differentiate- what better incentive to complete the task than to know you can play a game at the end! No need to cut anything- just print. A4 is fine, A3 is great. Add dice and counters. (I get pupils to use spare coins for counters and lots of them have dice roll app on their phones these days if you are struggling for these). Any feedback is always gratefully received and if you have any requests for future board games please send me a message.

A lovely triorama for places on town. Pupils cut out the square, fold and cut along the dashed line.

A fact sheet which comes in 3 different fonts (just print off your fave) and a blank version for pupils to fill in ) either from memory or they could research their own facts. You could print off the blank version and watch the video while they make notes on whiteboards then fill in their own doodle sheet.

French lesson on a zombie attack. Pupils imagibe they are under imminent threat of a zombie attack. They translate a list of 25 objects that they can choose from to take with them to imporve their chances of survival. Some of sensible surival choices such a torch or a map. Others are sentimental such as a teddy bear or Xbox. There are also choices to make them think such as a diary (not helpful to fight the zombies but good for mental wellbeing). They make their selections and write them up in French. You could follow this up with a short survival skills debate (in English). Also included are two descriptions of a male and female zombie they could use as a comprehension then a model to create their own zombie. Also a ‘mini me’ zombie description writing activity.

This is a link to my You Tube channel where you will find a whiteboard animation video. This is great to use in class with the pupils- can they translate te sentences quicker than the pen? They could write them down or say them out loud? A fabulous task to set as revision as well- pupils more inclined to watch a you tube video to music (I have great stats evidence for previous year’s videos - by analysing the demographics I know that thousands of pupils watched my video in the week before the French exams!) More topics on the way. There is a bundle of activities for this topic here https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-french-role-play-task-at-the-hotel-11874119
