A set of 30 sentences written in German perfect tense, a range of subjects and verbs used, including some questions. None of the sentences have spaces between the words, so pupils must write them out correctly with spaces in. They must also translate the sentences into English. Some English translations are given below the sentences, to provide assistance. The first page has capital letters on the nouns, making it slightly easier. The second page has no capitals - you could also remove the English assistance on this page to make it harder again. Answers are provided on the third page. This is a straightforward and fairly simple task, suitable for those just learning the perfect tense, or needing a quick revision task.

A pair of French texts, very similar in content but one using more elaborate language and more detail. Reading comprehension questions are on separate sheets. You could use this as a running competition, where the texts are stuck on the wall and pupils must take turns in a group to run to find an answer. Also can be used as scaffolding to support a piece of writing - the underlined vocab can be replaced with pupils’ own choice.

A quick activity: 10 countries in French as anagrams. Easy to photocopy with 4 on a sheet of A4. Answers provided on second page. Could be a starter or a little worksheet, good way to revise countries if you haven't seen them in a while.

I made up this fairly naff song to the tune of Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer, using past tense vocab we had learnt. Pupils had to translate into English and also make up their own verse to go next. The brave ones performed for everyone!

A list of 16 items of vocab in French. Pupils decide whether each is a type of TV programme or film (or both). Instructions in English ask for pupils to write answers in lists. Could equally be used as a speaking task: one pupil says item of vocab, another says whether it's TV or film. Easy to extend into a task where pupils give opinions. Good revision task.

A colourful grid to complete on your board with the French masculine colours provided; pupils must add the feminine spellings and English. Accompanied by 2 differentiated grids for pupils to complete independently.

A grid suggesting a sentence structure to describe the weather in French in the different seasons, in your part of the country. This version encourages pupils to include adverbs of frequency and connectives to extend their sentences. Could use as a true/false activity, or I went to market -style task.

Bright and colourful set of posters showing a French word for each letter of the alphabet.

This French worksheet has grammar notes on the formation of regular -er verbs, then has a task to correctly conjugate regular -er verbs which are in sentences on the topic of school.

A long list (41!) of short sentences in English for pupils to translate into French. Equally you could switch the instructions and ask pupils to translate the other way. Sentences are mostly transactional speech, the kinds of phrases needed in a role play. Answers are provided but jumbled up - this could also be used as a reading matching task, or as speaking/listening pairwork.

A cutting and sticking activity for pupils to practice matching pairs of 2D shapes or different sized sets of marbles. Each sheet has a set of six pictures to cut out, then pupils stick these pictures next to each corresponding picture above. You can easily adapt these sheets to make them harder by making the pictures more similar. Alternatively make them easier by removing one row or column of pictures. Simple uncluttered design makes these suitable for children with autism.

Suitable for beginners in French, a set of questions to elicit personal information. This is the second set, which build on the first set I have also published. A slightly different format, there are 2 versions on this sheet: the French questions with the English translations shown and a second page with the English jumbled for a matching activity.

Suitable for French beginners, a sheet which supports a simple interview in pairwork. Pupils ask each other questions & note the answers. This sheet contains 2 versions: the first is for more independent workers and has an extension task to write up what they have found. The second contains more support with structured questions and answers. Both versions have slightly different questions, so feel free to choose which you prefer and adapt to suit your purpose.

An activity for pupils to practise counting items to two and three, easily adapted for other numbers if you choose. Pupils put the correct number of spots on the ladybird pictures: they can either stick stickers, draw spots, use stampers, or whatever you choose. The sheet has six pictures for the number 2 and a further six for the number 3. It could be laminated and used with a whiteboard pen over and over. Simple uncluttered design makes this suitable for children with autism.

A set of tasks suitable for pupils beginning to understand how a number line works. One task shows a 0-20 number line and has space to write a number sentence below (addition, but can be adapted for subtraction). This task is worth laminating and then can be used over and over with a whiteboard pen. The other two tasks require pupils to cut out boxes containing shapes, then stick them to the correct place on the number line (0-10). The easier version has arrows to help; the harder version has just a choice of empty boxes. These two sheets have two different questions on each sheet.
