A fantastic support for the first few lessons. Print and laminate and use as a learning mat to boost confidence amongst new learners in the classroom. Great differentiation technique when dealing with mixed ability classes.
Use it as a speaking frame / a writing frame / a learning mat / a revision aid / an extension tool.
The PDF is in colour but looks nice printed in greyscale as well. I usually print and photocopy in greyscale but put the colour version on the IWB.
All the vocabulary for teaching the rooms in the house and getting pupils to describe their house on one A4 page: use it as a learning mat, a homework sheet, a support sheet, an extension sheet, a revision sheet, a classroom poster...endless possibilities.
Also included: mini word clouds activity
Mini word clouds- excellent starter activity. Great for revision as well.
Could give out as an extension tool for early finishers. Give them out upon arrival and give them a time frame. At the end of the timeframe pupils go head to head in a 'bidding war'. Each pupil says how many they can translate and have to prove it. The highest bidder goes first- if he can get to his bid he wins, if he can't the next bidder goes and has to get to his highest bid to win.
All the vocabulary for teaching countries and nationalities on one A4 page: use it as a learning mat; a homework sheet; a support sheet; an extension sheet; a revision sheet or a classroom poster...endless possibilities.

A simple story with 9 paper puppets for pupils to cut out, colour and label.
Pupils cut out, label and glue the puppets (option for teacher to use pre-coloured or black and white templates)
Teacher reads the story.
Pupils listen and each time they hear a character they place them on the scenery mat.
The story tells them exactly where to position each paper puppet but the PowerPoint acts as a visual support if hey need it.
Options to differentiate- suggestions given.

6 colouring sheets, items in the pictures are labelled in French for pupils to colour accordingly.
3 Halloween scenes, 3 autumn scenes.
£2 is the cheapest can sell a product- however I will add some more sheets to this product for Bonfire night so please return and download the updated version at no extra cost in the coming weeks.
Interactive Quiz to test pupils on their understanding of greetings and simple questions and answers. Multiple choice answers, if they select the correct answer they are taken to a ‘tres bien’ slide, incorrectly they are taken to an ‘oh non’ slide and given a chance to choose again.
It is great for a whole class quiz (you say the options and they pop hands up), or to out one pupil in the spotlight/hot seat or as a physical tap and go activity where they line up and make their selection then go to the back of the line. You could use a classroom timer to inject extra challenge and competition.
Distribute hearts to all pupils and they have to find their matching heart.
Game 1 is matching names eg. Tu es Barack Obama, trouve Michelle. (Other half = Tu es Michelle).
Game 2 is matching places eg. Tu veux visiter New York. (Other half = Tu habites a New York).
Game 3 is matching hobbies eg. Tu aimes faire du sport. (Other half = tu es sportif).
Game 4 is matching food eg. Tu aimes la cuisine italienne. (Other half = tu aimes la pizza).
There are 16 matching pairs (32 halves) in each game but if your class is bigger i have included spare hearts for you to add your own. If your class is smaller simply leave some pairs out. The hearts are backed in colour for differentiation (tell pupils their matching half shares the same background colour.) Or print on in black and white to increase challenge.
Make it more romantic by playing French love songs in the background as they circulate and only stop when the music pauses. Or tell them it is like speed dating and they need to find their matching heart before the music stops. Reward pupils for any French interaction you hear as they circulate the room.
The powerpoint contains a link to my free video hosted on my You Tube channel (the video is too big to upload to TES).
Great visual resource- good engagement level- chunk it up into 3 parts and use follow-on materials available in my TES shop. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-grammar-booklet-perfect-tense-regular-er-verbs-11820983
Good to set as homework task before or after the lesson.
