Living Graph on school equipment.
Includes 2 sets of clues- advanced and simplified.
In groups or pairs pupils read clues, put them in chronological order then plot the clues on the line graph.
The clues describe Chloé's shopping trip for school stationery and the graph will represent what time she did something/bought something and how she felt. Extra Challenge - does she have enough money left for a milkshake?
Great for deep learning, numeracy, pupil collaboration.
All the vocabulary for transport 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 available in my growing bundle of vocabulary mats.
All the vocabulary for teaching sports (with jouer) 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 includes sport mini book.
32 unique animals on these cards including pets, farmyard animals, wild animals and a few extra.
Distribute the cards. The person with 'DEBUT' begins and asks the first question 'Qui a un hamster?' this prompts the next person who has the phrase 'J'ai un hamster' written on their card. They shout this out followed by their own question, 'Qui a un chien?' 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.
There are 11 different colour cards and 15 different school equipment cards. You may wish to combine these in order to give one card per pupil.
The pupil with the card ‘DEBUT’ begins and asks their question ‘Qui a bleu?’
The next pupil has a card saying ‘J’ai bleu’ and they shout this out before asking their own question ‘Qui a rouge?’
NB. You may prefer to use the French-Digit version of the cards which requires pupils to listen to the French ‘Qui a bleu?’ and answer ‘J’ai bleu or J’ai blue’. This increases the level of challenge.
The game continues, each pupil shouting out their card and prompting the next pupil until the last pupil arrives at ‘LA FIN’.
Once pupils are used to the game you will find that they enjoy racing against the clock. I usually do 2 or 3 rounds without the clock and then give them a chance to beat their record.

*NEW EXTRA: I have added a fruit PowerPoint to bring more value to the resource. *
Pupils race against the clock and each other to find the meaning of 22 fruits. Task 1: work on your won to find as many of the words as you can in the allocated time (teacher to set classroom timer and provide dictionaries). Task 2: work with a partner to share answers in the allocated time. Task 3: circulate the classroom and exchange words with others in an attempt to fill in the blanks (at this point I offer my own services and offer one exchange with each pupil- they have usually left the trickier ones to the end and might need you to support in this way in order to translate all 22). Most are fruit, some are liquids- enabling them to create a simple but delicious fruit smoothie. Task 4: select 5 ingredients for a fruit smoothie (you could reward the winner).
Great for developing dictionary skills; increasing vocabulary; encouraging pupil interaction and using language creatively.
3 sheets are provided- 2 in colour (a pink version and a blue version) and 1 in black and white.

Versatile worksheet: use to consolidate language following presentation / a homework / a revision sheet / a starter.
Top half is a word cloud with 'personalities' vocabulary. Instructions to cross off words they know, circle and look up ones they don't.
Bottom half is an 'odd one out' table prompting them to decide which is the odd one out and be prepared to explain why they made that choice.

All the vocabulary for breakfast and lunch and other food 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 available in my growing bundle of vocabulary mats.
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.
All the vocabulary you need on one A4 page for teaching places in town: 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.
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.
A printable dictionary for your pupils to use as a reference but more importantly to add to throughout the year as they study new topics and encounter new words.
Each page has a section where I have written common words including nouns, verbs and adjectives and a lined section for pupils to note their own additions.
There are also reference pages for the following topics containing short glossaries of the essential words: greetings, days, months, seasons, colours, school equipment.
There is a spare page at the back that you could print multiple times should they need more space. I recommend using treasury tags to hold the dictionary pages together. This will allow the pupils the possibility of adding extra sheets and adding revision sheets as they revise the vocabulary.
If teachers request it, I will make this resource available in black and white but it looks great printed in greyscale
A fantastic support for all year groups. Would be good to have in a cardboard folder pinned to the wall for reference or enlarged and used as a poster.
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.
30 cards each with a different number between 1-30.
2 versions included: French only. French with digits for an easier game.
Teachers notes included explaining how to play and when to play for best results.
Distribute cards and the pupil with 'debut' begin and asks 'qui a cinq'. Then the player with 'j'ai cinq' shouts this out and their question and so on until the last player shouts 'La fin!'
